Interesting. I"m paying for 15, but often get 20 on Ookla speed tests. However, cable is a shared resource, so if neighbors are using heavily, it can get slow.
I get bursts into the 5s up, and >1 down but numbers I get from any speed test level in the 3.6-3.7 and hi .9s. These
are Mbs and not MBs, btw. Router connection from two each android phones and tablets, Iphone 5, and four Dell laptops I'm always in the 45s in network, and when I'm watching 4 vacationing neighbors' homes and still not 'borrowing' bandwidth to feed my 15Gb/mo habit. Router is Linksys E1200, Modem is Arris SB6190.
Every 'speed test' mentioned here, and a few others echoed anywhere from across town to St Louis, MO have repeated the same results, even at 4:00 AM.
Needless to say, my Mobley feeds any tested so far at double the throughput with no consideration for placement, ie: hanging over pergola crossbar, from cupboard knob, dangling from wire where ALDL connector under dash bracket is busted (I'm a guy, ok .. :laughing
All that said, It seems there's a 'crossover point', and I'm imagining that with signal strength ~-99db we're well above 10Gb. When I was at -112 I was streaming from Fire TV on the Mobly sans hiccups. My Fire TV is 'hardwired' (25' Cat5) to my router and I was told my (Comcast) connection didn't have enuf 'speed' to stream "Heavy Metal" a framin' cartoon needing 720p or less and pro'ly 30 fps. ('Digital'
fixed that???? riiiight .. ) :laughing::laughing:
If you're with me guys, I'm all Gilbert Gottfreid fishin' for nods of recognition. (always shorter than my Dennis Miller-ish gems)
If you're late to the party,
Mobley works well, for cheap, requires only a tad of manly patience (1 mo for me) to wait out hit or miss service. That hint from someone to hang up and dial again for someone less confused wasn't needed, but IMO is
priceless.
Oh, btw 10s across the board for
Thread Title. (bonus-rant) OP, I want YOU to 'go straight through to the final!' for that.:thumbsup:
