Re: Is Broadband Speed Just an Illusion?
I received a class action lawsuit notice that I could join if I was receiving less band speed that I was promised. Not sure if it is call band speed or what the correct terminolgy is.

It's a small local company called TCT West. They serve most of NW Wyoming and have been very proactive with fiber.
I have their bottom end service, but it's plenty for home use.

Re: Is Broadband Speed Just an Illusion?
My download speed: 17.5 Mb/s
Upload: 3.33 Mb/s
Yes, the speed is good. BUT.... it it ONLY as good as the local server I am trying to access! I still download files where I am only getting them at one hundredth of what I am capable of because their servers are maxed out.

Is this just server traffic? If so where is the benefit of having more speed? It's like driving a Lamborghini on southern California..whats the point?

I have Comcast and there was a point in time a couple of years ago that I was getting unreal download speeds in the 40's and 50's. Right now I'm back to 3.5 meg.
... Wait a minute... I think we were supposed to be getting the upgrade added on ... gonna call them today.

Re: Is Broadband Speed Just an Illusion?
Our Windows servers run continually without any issues. The only times they are rebooted is when MS pushes down updates, usually at 2 in the morning when no one cares anyways.

No TV. Just mine. It's fast. I know how to monitor network traffic, So Im talking about times when Windows is not doing an update (or anything else)
