Time to bust out the speed tests!!! How many bytes are you sending up and pulling down right now? One great option to help you find out is speedtest.net but there are also many more.
Bonus points if you want to show off the hardware you are using to get those speeds š

We get Virgin Media FTTH (Fiber to the Home), we only pay for 500Mbps so I am pretty happy with this speed. Also, 1Gbps+ is not available at the moment in my area.
We running two Netgear nighthawk R8000 routers, one as a primary router the other as an access point. Also, we about to install a new 16 port gigabit ethernet switch.
You're definitely winning this competition!! :D
Yeah my download speed is impressive, I only get 40Mbps upload.
There has to be others on DEV that has faster a internet connection.
forgot to mention this was over AC Wi-Fi 5Ghz
Goodness
Wow
2 MB a second šŖ
Oof! This is why I wanted to do this bc I think more people struggle with internet access and speed than many of us devs think and account for when we are designing websites
I do get my fair share of dumbly long lode times for websites, even dev takes about 3 to 5 seconds to load.
Internet at my office. To be fair I tweaked the parallel connection options in
fast.comto 64.The screenshot below is the one with default

Big oof.
Iām sorry it doesnāt count, as itās not in English.
Only joking, hahaha. I canāt wait for 1Gbps up and down. Tbh
I'm paying for 100 Mbit/s, but since fiber to the home is being advertised in my area, my current carrier is giving me double the bandwidth for download to keep me as a customer.
My current connection uses coaxial cables. It's basically reused cable tv cables, and that's also why it works downstream much better than upstream.
I have 2.5mgbs on a GOOD day. Most of the time it hangs between 1 and 2.
And yes, this is part of the reason you can see my with my laptop at the nearest Tim Hortons trying to get something downloaded/uploaded. š
For LA this is pretty fast, but some of these, wow. its Starry internet (recommended, love it, if you're lucky enough to be in the coverage area). if you want 2 free months, here ya go: starry.com/r/sjny7h
(meanwhile i just figured out how to embed on dev.to)
Well, I live here: goo.gl/maps/1j2PiUjw843qMii77
So, it's hard to get cool internet connections (and affordable, not expensive af). The higher that we can have is 8mbps/s. Here at home we have less than 1mbp. Speedtest says 0.31mbps/s. And that's when it is working good!
omg it looks like I have the lowest internet speed connection of this thread š
Hereās my current speed. For hardware, Iām using the Google Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi System with 3 pucks positioned in my house for the best connection.

Internet in Australia is shite. I pay for two internet connections and "load balance" them on my router:
Each connection through my router has a 50-50 chance of opening on either connection. This makes it impractical to test the throughput through a single service like Fast.com. I also log my router usage to InfluxDB/Grafana.
6 months of my download speeds averaged over 30s:
The max speed I saw was 9.88 MB/sec (~79 Mbits).
