![]() So my question is, what’s the point of getting ultra fast internet when it hardly ever gets anywhere near the speed promised by the ISP? ![]() So it would seem that there is a somewhat inverse relationship between the effective internet speed and distance. I find that when I use one of the many speed-testing sites, I get about the same results if I specify the same server my ISP uses when I choose servers which are much further away (like another continent), the speed sometimes slows to a crawl. I’ve read that unless the WiFi signal is very strong, you never really get the advertised internet speed.īut my question is about the following: my ISP recommends one measure the speed using one specific link and their web page. And that speed is measured downloading a large file from a server that is some 100 km from where I live. When I connect to the router via a LAN cable or I have the laptop right next to the router, I get 80 megabits per second, which is close enough for me. The maximum speed that I can get, however, is about 30 megabits per second through WiFi. Through my ISP, I’ve contracted for 100 megabits per second of internet speed.
