Casual Discussion What is your internet speed ?

[Nilgiri]

My best friend lives in a social housing complex, not because he's poor but because it's quite normal here in Denmark. Owning a house has benefits, but requires you to be handyman as buying services are very expensive.

Common in Singapore too, in fact majority of population lives in "HDB"....i.e public housing (but very high quality and subsidised + mortgage intervened by govt).

Sign of a well run country imo.

I also live in a low income dwelling here (around slum area). Only unlike your friend I'm a dirt poor person here I live at around US$6 / day

The housing complex decided to upgrade from coax to fiber, an investment for less than 1 mio. dkk affecting some 160 households (64m^2 to 84m^2).

They still haven't fully transition to FO there Although I personally prefer copper cable due to their performance compare to FO, unfortunately from maintenance cost perspective maintaining copper based infrastructure is far more expensive than maintaining FO based. And subscriber who do need the performance of copper cable like me just isn't enough to cover the bottom line to justify the higher maintenance cost.

I use an optical fiber and I go very fast in my area but where I use my pc is an attic so it comes much slower

TDC owns the copper cables. But the internet from copper is too low. And TDC was bought by US fonds in 90’s. So no more investments and company was drained for it’s values too. So other firms started to offer fiber and invest in it too. Which is why not all of denmark has fiber.

The copper cables are the old telephone lines.

That's what I get using wifi with a Huawei MateBook D15 2020.

However with my other configuration this is what I get generally ;

I pay €49.99/month for 10 gbps in download and 700 mbps in upload. The €49 also includes a landline,TV services and Netflix + Amazon prime for free,quite a good deal for me.

Damn...you really hit it outta the park with those speeds for €49.99

Here I am paying $75/month (also include modem+router lease) and struggling to reach 200Mbps

Old copper and new (high performance) copper infrastructure cost the same to maintain. It's just the nature of copper. Which is why all teleco companies replacing it with FO. Although all teleco company would advertise it as performance improvement over copper, it's actually all about cheaper maintenance cost of FO

Anyway everybody here has fast internet access, while I'm still using 512 kbps connection. And there is also 492 kbps connection that I rarely use. Poor me with my slow internet access

Secondary Connection -

Use it on a Hotspot when traveling - it's part of my mobile package - I get 2 phone numbers + 1 Data Hotspot device for about Rs. 820 / month

Tertiary connection -

Jio. More hype than substance.

5G home internet will be our saviour *puts on tinfoil hat*

Seriously, I am waiting for the day it comes to my suburb.

Speed test on my iPhone:
5G mobile network - 322/53, ping 20
WiFi from home NBN - 53/18, ping 6
Both with Telstra.

5G test.

 

[Ardabas34]

26 download- 5 upload with 6 ping.

But I have to say it is extremely unstable. I realise this especially when I play AoE2. It is almost unplayable.
