laptop hardwired thru the router. actual upload speed is ~325k/sec. download speed is 2.2 - 2.5 mb/sec with a peak of right around 3.5 mb/sec. i gotta get a 25 ft coiaxal cable and a 15 ft ethernet cable and hardwire the desktop







wifi speed. im on the cheapest cox plan. upload speeds suck more than justin biebers career. actual download speeds are 1.3 - 1.7 mb/sec and its fast enough. the speeds aint bad for $20 a month

I could pay $10 more and get 50mps, but I haven't felt the need to yet, everything I want to do online is fine speed wise.
The only thing I'd be paying for if I got that rate would be the ability to watch 1080p streams between 7-9pm. That's the only window of time that I run into problems. My 15^ works fine for gaming, otherwise.

disable the guest account if u have a router. wired speeds are probably 5 times what wifi speeds are. the model of the pc has nothing to do with speed. anything thats hooked up to the network and consuming bandwith always slows the connection down. speeds are always most accurate when u try the isp website


the java might fuck up but theres a way around it. i think the error says "application blocked by security protocol" or some shit. in windows 7 search for java and select "configure java". click the scurity tab and set the level to medium. then click "edit site list" and add the isp test website which is FrontierNet® > Internet and DSL services, news, local weather, email, and technical support from FrontierNet® in your case. then click ok then apply. refresh the page and the test should work

I had AT&T dsl when I lived in Georgia, it was great. Didn't have one single outage in the year and a half I lived there and always got the speed I paid for.

I had that same Direct TV and AT&T package, so much better then the Comcast bullshit that was in that area.
