I'm switching to fiber because of "slow" upload speeds. I mean it's plenty fast but I want faster. 50Mbs kinda stinks. My town is just getting fiber all over and it's likely our Cable internet company will go out of business. it's a lesson they will learn the hard way, stay relevant or die.
Wow, you had a 9600 baud modem? Spoiled. I was on a Commodore 64 with a Hayes Compatible (Full Duplex, baby) 300 baud modem connected to the "Dart Board" and other BBS boards. It was the fastest rig in town until the 1200 baud came out…and why did it go from 300 baud to 1200?! 🙂 Can you believe the stuff we got now? UNREAL, right?! LOL – Fun fact: at 300 baud, if your reading skills was 5th grade or better, you could READ the letters faster than they would appear on the screen to make a word! lol. You deduced the word "dictionary" at about "dictio"….
Found this video as I just upgraded to a 5g phone and the upload speeds are better than what I get with my cable provider at home. Recently they upgraded me to 300mbps for download, but uploads vary from 1 to 10. My 5g uploads were consistently more than that, even over 30 in some places (but I don't have 5g service at my house). So I was curious as to why..
some reason I get almost 1000 download and my upload is like .55…… Anyone know how I can fix this? Ping is like 15.
Will be working from home with digital voip phone for my computer with headphones for my customers that will be calling in. What should the uploads be for possibly sales online and sending customers their info.
Beautiful
btw, flight of the navigator is my favorite movie!!
First PC was an Epson Apex 100 back around 1990. Big floppies for days. We were the only family I can remember with a computer until about the mid 90's. I recall my father having one of the floppies removed to replace with one of those black hard drives. No modem or anything. Wouldn't get anything like that until my first 486 around 96. That one was a boutigue build with an overclock boost to bring it to 133Mhz. It's crazy how far we have come in 30 years.
Now rocking an AMD Ryzen 7 5800x, 32 Gigs of Ram, Asus 5700xt and a 250Mbps download and 39Mbps upload (when my isp functions properly). I'm in an area with only cable, dsl or satellite available. The cable being the fastest of the 3. I wish there was an upload minimum on isps. Some days my 39Mbps will drop to only 3Mbps for days. Those days are brutal and come without warning.
Why is nobody talking about the question of this video lol
So what is a good upload speed? Mine is 1.69 my son said it should be at least a 3, so again what is a hood upload speed?
Still waiting for the technical explanation…
Jio fiber is symmetrical and very speedy.
First PC with internet connection was a 486 and a 14.4 modem. Upgrading to 28 felt like science fiction at the time.
Midi files of Metallica songs flew like lightning. Mp3s took days to download. But they did download.
Diablo 1, red alert (Westwood chat), x wing vs tie fighter and Jedi knight the first multiplayer experiences… My mum's incredulous reaction to the landline bill the first month I got Diablo…
Omg… What a trip down the memory lane!
I had 56 k setup my families house with a message board threw the news paper company and now I have fiber 100 up 50 down love it
Unfortunately, you are both examples of workers that really need to be in office 🙄
I consistently average about 940 down and up with Google Fiber.
The first computer I had was an Epson Equity 1 (from 1990) with the 80186 chip. It had three main functions: MS-DOS, GWBASIC, and operating 186 DX word processing. It had no graphics card, so everything was in one color – green with a black background, and had a 5.25" floppy drive.
Now fast forward to the present:
I live in Central Phoenix, AZ. I just moved to a new apartment. This apartment supports fiber and not coaxial connected cable wi-fi. I have Cox Internet with 500/mbps down and 10/mbps up. I typically use my internet to watch Youtube and binge watch the tv shows and movies that I stream on the phone. I use my fiber within the range of my modem at home. If I was a content creator, I would upgrade to the Gigablast connection.
I use Xfinity home internet at home data is slow here in Quarryville pa but 5g is much better out side
Two things.
1. What's that thing on you shirt? Is that a mic? What is it?
2. If you have a crappy router it doesn't matter what service you buy. You need a router to be able to push through the speeds you are paying for.
Ah yes! My dad being pissed off when he picked up the phone and we were online. Our local monopoly ISP milked us dry by basically forcing its customers to have a line for voice and another one for data. Those were the days… 😩
Because they're greedy
I remember when 14.4 kbps was blazing! right now my upload speed is often higher than my download… but I have a rather strange provider.
My fiber is symetrical.
My first Computer was a Intel 286 and yes 2400 Baud Modem. I even remember when Mosaic Came out and Graphics on the web became a reality.
