Show off your internet speed!


I use Comcast for internet and mobile smartphone.
I am of late getting less speed then I am paying for...
I pay for a 2,000Mbps download and 250Mbps upload speeds..
but am getting..
View attachment 184568
for over a year and a half or more I was getting
2,300Mbps download and 295Mbps upload speeds...
Comcast has been giving me excuses these days..
the issue is I am missing 1 of 2 DOCSIS 3.1 channels the deliver the higher speeds.

and I just checked Fidium fiber.. not in Dover yet. at my address.

My internet is $115/month and $58/month for mobile.
I was in a similar situation with Comcast, receiving a lot less bandwidth than I was paying for as well. I was never able to get more than 650 Mbps (on a good day, and usually more like 450 Mbps!) while I was paying for 1.1 Gbps.

Now I'm paying Fidium $47.50/month for 2.2 Gbps service!

Here's a shot of my finished Network Enclosure before I put the door on it. It was a LOT of work, but it was SO worth it! :-)

You must do this for a living. 99% of the people that do network wiring don't dress their cable the way you did or use velcro or use insulated staples spaced out for their power.

Here's what I normally see from most people doing their own wiring

Nah, I'm just some guy (gearhead-engineer type) that likes to do things right, does a LOT of research and pays attention to ALL the details. For the record I pulled 838' of CAT6, including 2 pulls of 4-cable bundles from the attic to basement of my two-story colonial. I sure was glad I had those 2" PVC Conduits installed from the attic to the basement (one LV & one AC) when I built the house so I could re-wire it at will. I might be a little OCD too! ;-)
