Default Finally bit the bullet and upgraded my .net

I have a business class account, including 5 static ip addresses, and I run a commercial service out of my house for a couple of clients. I originally was 60 mb/s down and 12 mb/s up, and the price just kept creeping up.

I upgraded, and had to sign a 2 year agreement, and after 2 years, the price will spike a bit more, but I was paying about $150/month for the former, and for the next two years, it's just a slight bit more than $200/month. The download speed is great for me, but nearly tripling the upload speed on my cloud-based application server benefits my customers.

Sad thing is that I see a lot of residential accounts all over the country with much faster speeds. Kinda pisses me off, but it's still a great increase from what it was.

Never seen such asymmetric speeds. Your download is almost 12 times your upload...

This is what I have on Fios fiber:

I’m paying ~75 a mo for this....it’s supposed to be 250/12, but was streaming directvnow when I ran this test. Xfinity finally is offering gigabit speeds to my neighborhood, but it’s more than double what I’m paying. Currently the real battle is monthly data caps. They recently implemented 1tb data caps, I’ve been within 25gb of that limit for the last three months. And they want $10 per 10tb after that.

Through Comcast, you can actually get a Residential package with download speeds of 250 MB/s, along with 230+ TV channels and unlimited telephone for only $140/mo., but that can't work for me because it's not commercial. The fixed IP address is one of the critical aspects that I need.

Here is mine:


This is on fiber from AT&T. This was done on my laptop with WIFI, but if I go to my desktop with a wired connection, the speed is 50% faster.

Xfinity, this any good? Not running a business, not a gamer, don't download movies, just normal browsing, email, forum stuff, occasional Word and Excel documents.

about 1.5 years ago, I started playing with streaming....and of course wound up buying my own modem 200 bux, and beat the sox off my Commiecrap rental.....now the crazy part......the set in back still on streaming...FOX NEWS at night to doze off with.....so what happens is I used to hit the terror bite limit with both on streaming....THEN, I wired the HULU/ROKU? device in back to turn off with the TV...... and rent Comcrap's TV modem for up front where the hours are.....

and in the evenings, turn on the TV in back, looks fine all HD and shit, then sometimes the screen goes out, and comes back on with a struggle, and it's all outta focus like from the vacuum tube daze limited bandwidth, stay that way for maybe 1/2 hour or so, then goes back to HD.....weird....I don't pay a dime for the set in back, but being as it's a snooze aide, I don't CARE.....
