I pay 57.99 for mine. For some reason, maybe my wireless, I do not see the free increase I just got from EPB. It went from 30 to 50 for free a few months ago and just recently from 50 to 100..
I could upgrade to 1gig a second speed for only 12.00 more a month but my fastest download so far is 12mbs a second off of Steam. I think I will wait to upgrade til I can see a difference in DL speed

Trying but someone is using a kindle right now and it really screws the laptop wireless signal, speedtest making the speed jump up and down nonstop. Post later.

Anyone else have a kindle cause that? Non of the smartphones we have cause it when they connect to the wifi...

Is your computer hooked up to the wifi too?
the more devices you have on a wireless connection the less bandwidth each device recieves (due to how wireless data transfer works).

So it might just be that you have lots of devices on your wireless and it is beginning to show the 'bad' part about wireless networks

sounds weird, got 1/1gbit here and steam is about the only place where i can cap my connection.

but uhm.. you are getting 100Mbit from your provider. do you mean 12MB/s or 12Mbps from steam?
you should be downloding in the 9-12MB/s range on a 100Mbit connection

Ping is your internet speed.

So if you play online games and everything feels bad, that's probably a result of a bad ping.



Ping is the amount of time it takes to contact a server.  You can have fast ping and still have a have low speed internet which will impact how games work online.

You're meaning low bandwith internet when you say low speed.

 

Eh I don't really know. We're all meaning the same thing.

you are talking to a server to get the speed, it isn't dedicated to just you.
my DL varied ~100mbps between 2 runs so.. yeah :P it varies cause the server has varied ammount of things to do each time you try.

my point was that it isn't accurate so we won't really get a real result out of it :P

Yeah I have been bad lately about putting in "a second" after mbs knowing full well its part of mbs. I know better but my fingers get ahead of my brain.



Yea, 0 ping is definitely speedtest. I get it frequently internet.n m
