Fiber Optic → Official Speed Tests Thread

Testing our new 50Mbps residential tier on UTOPIA in Utah. Upload is still ramping up when the test stops:

Verizon FIOS 15/2 package; running with OpenDNS on an Apple iMac 20" 2.16Ghz Core 2 Duo



Getting a little more than advertised on the downstream; a little less than advertised on the upstream. Connection has been solid 24/7 for 2.8 years without a single second of downtime.

If you want to try your fiber connection on a fiber-connected speedtest server, try this one:

»speedtest.paxio.net/speedtest
(java version only)

Here are some recent numbers from my connection:



P.S. Please don't "hog" it. I always get my best number on the second try, though, so be sure to try it two or three times to "prime" the connection.

What kinda connection is that ? That has to be at work and if its not well then $h*T !!. lol

Has Paxio....one of the fastest isp's in the nation ... they offer 1gbit symetrical...must be nice!

WTF !! $hit your right

Pretty impressive speed test going from Sacramento, CA to New York, NY (2,500 miles away) on my supposedly 20Mbps/20Mbps connection.

I did a couple of speed tests from Paxio's test site and here are my results:

To closest server (Los Angles):



Their downstream must be saturated for some reason, maybe because their DSL customers are downloading? LOL

Similar result using their own applet:

Thats a web hosting connection

That was using my laptop connected to a 10gige (fiber) connection where I work. I didn't know all the postings had to be from a home connection?

No I didn't mean that I was just saying that it was a web host thats all. Thats wicked fast though

\

Well still fiber none the less =P It also happens to be where I work, yes I work for a web-hosting company =P

Do you get free web space for working there ?

That has to be a glitch because you won't get 1 ms from 1200 miles away no matter what

DC shows up as 1100 miles for me when it should be around 25 or 30.



FiOS needs to correct my upload provisioning since it should be at 20mbs.

see if your ONT needs a reboot because I have had my upload come down from 20 mb to about 10 and a reboot fixed it.

just curious, how good is this?

btw, that's my house line.

My work fiber connections.



Its a mix of a 250Mbps fiber link with AT&T and a 200Mbps fiber link with EverestKC.

I only have a 100Mbps nic in my desktop so i can't go faster than that. PRTG shows the speedtest going through the EverestKC link.


When i had my own desktop here, Speakeasy in Chicago was the only speedtest that i could get above 100Mbps but upload has always been slow. I will have to test out Springfield next time i bring in my pc. I remember this test going out our AT&T link.

FYI, our public ip's are from Verizon but not our data links.

my speed test is 50M down /20M up.

I hope this is the right place to ask this question. Is there any software to automate a speedtest like this? I pay for 50M but before there was a programming issue on the FIOS side and it went down to 12M until I called. I have Fios 50M/20M.

I want to test the line say 3 times a day, to make sure it doesnt go below 40M. Is what I am trying to do impossible? I am willing to pay for the app. if needed.

Thank U!

Lol does this count?

This is my home connection just outside of Seattle.

I bond
-Comcast on the first pipe
-FiOS 10Mbps on the 2nd pipe

Using a SharedBand technology I get data center grade redundancy and amazing throughput.

My total monthly cost is just over a hundred dollars!

That seems too good to be true..., yet your posting this as if you work for the company....

Not bad on the price per month but I don't get how they can afford this.

Wish I could use my cisco routers, because I would jump on that.

It is true, regarding the details of the speedtest.
I do NOT work for the company.
I do however personally know the principals/founders of SharedBand.com
I have been an early Beta tester since they came to the US.

I get 50 mbps symmetrical (50 mbps up, 50 mbps down) for 58 bucks. Lafayette La is like the first and maybe only (or handful) of cities to put their own fiber system up (city run), and their prices beat cox, att, and comcast/verizon if they are here.. they beat everyone. And since its city owned, its better than a T1 that only spans locally for some things. I was going to get 2 t1's for my opelousas office and lafayette, but its more efficient to get 50 mbps up/down.
