The "published" minimum is 100/20. They can't really legislate what the end user actually sees because that's widely variable based on what's between the ISP connection and the actual displayed measured number. Also, that's just what they have to have available, I don't see where they can't offer slower speeds as well.

Really not sure those minimums stand for cellular internet data either. Mine is pretty dang good though for being so rural.

Thanks for the update.

I remember seeing something about the FCC or some govt agency setting minimum internet speed at 100 Mpbs. Might be worth looking into.

Thanks, I'm going to look into that....The funny thing is, I pay for a tier 2 which should be 100Mbps, but this appears to be the best I can get? Not sure if it's old cable lines our city is using or what.

Varying download speeds at different times of the day is typically a hallmark of systems like cable. When they share one pipe back to the central office, more people on-line slows everything down. When I had Comcast years ago, during the day my speed was great, but in the evening, it was awful! My Verizon FiOS has the same performance anytime I test it.

I'm in the process of setting up DD-WRT on my Mesh nodes because I can only get these speeds (particularly upload) when my Mesh system's main node is in "setup mode" like it is right now lol. Once it has been set up (using Linksys' firmware) within a week it 'runs out of NVRAM' for maintaining the Device List table - which is ridiculous considering how much space it actually has. But, I've been living with it (and hard resetting the mesh every 6 months or so when I need to make changes), and I've had enough.

Good luck with the firmware.
