NM FO lines suck balls.
lol, 4.44. Embarrassing.
Why would my upload speed be faster than my dl?
Are you on fiber optics limited to 12 meg?
Why would my upload speed be faster than my dl?
I would say the difference in uploads and downloads on a cable system is because of supply and demand, believe it or not.
Cable has a limited bandwidth. Just the nature of how the users on average download much more than upload, the bandwidth for each is balanced for that.
If you are on cable, I'm surprised they are tailored that way. To justify equal speeds would require more precise and expensive splitter/amplifier circuitry.
It also surprises me the latency is so mismatched with the speed.
I'm camping right now (on my way back actually), so I obviously don't have access to my net service.
I'll post shots when I get home.
Can't download .
My god.
I don't know why, but my download speed is amazingly fast while my upload speed is downright embarrassing. Anyone have any idea why this is?
BTW, the fastest I've clocked my DL speed is 147 Mb/s.
They probably didn't or forgot to cap your download speed on the modem config. They can still track how much you downloaded though, so enjoy while it lasts.

I've been getting that speed for a long time now. I only pay $30 a month for RR Standard and this is what I've been getting for well over a year now. Last month I clocked my speed at 147 mb/s. I just did another test on Speakeasy.com and got 127 mb/s.
But my real question is why such a slow upload speed?
I assume that's a cablemodem?
Part of the DOCSIS config file that the provider uploads to the cablemodem determines what the cap is for upload and download. They're specified separately. It's very likely that they screwed up what the cap should be for the download part, while they set the upload part correctly. Either that, or your modem is defective in the sense that it doesn't apply the cap settings for the download part correctly.
Back in the day, there used to be hacks to upload config files that would effectively change or remove the caps altogether. Eventually, with the advent of DOCSIS II and III, that was no longer possible to do.
Yeah, it's cable. Great for watching Netflix and playing online. I don't really see any problem I'm having with the upload speed being so slow. Just curious as how there could be such a huge difference between the two.
Using the ratio distribution for upload/download for your ISP posted by other people in this thread, and based on your upload speed, your download speed should really be between 15-25 Mbps. Now, if you're really paying for a 120Mbps download speed plan, your upload speed should then really be in the 6-12 Mbps range. So you either have an uncapped download speed or noise getting into your coax connection and killing your upload speed.
You should know what down/up speeds your plan has and determine what's going on.
i thought the downside of cable is when everyone on ur street has it and the same street is sharing the same cable wire...so if everyone is full throttle dl something it affects everyones speed, right?
Yes. That's why a good amount of cable ISPs are putting hard caps on the amount of data downloaded (ie: Comcast here is 250GB/month)
Truth be told, my internet is paid for by my father in law. He got it for my wife when she was out of work. I just know that the plan was RR Standard. Looking at the specs now, it makes a lot more sense why my upload speeds are slow.
Now my download speed is WAY off. But I'm not complaining.This High Speed Online package includes:
512 Kbps upload speed
7 Mbps download speed
10 e-mail accounts
5 MB Web space
Dial-up access
1 dynamic IP address(es)
That's what I was telling you... your upload speed is capped to the proper value... the download speed, on the other hand, looks uncapped. Enjoy it while it lasts
This is my Evo's connection with 4G on, tethered to my laptop, in Chicago.
Not baaaaaaad at all. Internet just flies. Webpages load instantly on this.
Probably something wrong... but everytime I run it it's up in the 100's
u know whats , even with the fastest speeds, the ISP can still throttle you depending on what sites u goto, the hosts limiting the speed of dl, or isp capping ur speeds on torrents...
oh yeh fck obama with his internet switch his askin for, thats lame yo
lmao ty ass apartment. really, this place rips me off for everything.
Prepare to laugh...
At work:
