DSLReports says 62.2/6.22


Actually, Ookla is giving me similar to that regularly. The slump in the previous post is really out of the ordinary.

That ping time tho.

Can you traceroute and share back the path that your connection is taking to the "Durham, NC" server? PM would be OK.

Would like to see what is going on with TWC peering -- believe TWC should peer with MCNC/NCREN to get to that Durham server a little faster than 74ms.

I am getting 31.6/6.2 tonight while watching Pathers game via Roku wi-fi stick off same router on back porch. Router hangs on 2nd floor wall, with antennas all horizontal.

Router is Netgear AC1750 from Costco which they promise to replace for any problems in the future.

I have 75/75 service with my FiOS. Anyone have a speed test app which will register that high? I am only seeing ones with the speedometer up to 50.

Funny stuff happens when I speedtest the Duke server. It seems to be an unstable experience, whether TWC or Duke is the cause.
I have seen momentary spikes to 183Mbps down, and 75Mbps down. I once showed a 7Mbps UP when 6.0 or 6.2 is the "rule."
It is not uncommon to see a 63-64-65Mbps download result.

No other server shows as high as 63Mbps.

Look at the ping below:

The Ookla app should go higher than the numbers on the gauge.

Those of you who want to measure your ping can use this site.

Pingtest.net - The Global Broadband Quality Test

Here are my results.




I'm VERY happy with the connection that TWC is providing me right now and I maximize it by using this incredible router.

My quick review: The Linksys 1900AC is nothing short of an enterprise router and everything from my laptop to PlayStation 4 performs brilliantly with it. If you have the means - BUY THIS ROUTER!
