Internet speed 60 Mb / s - Internet 60 Mb / s and download speed

Hello

I have been using the internet from a local provider for several years and I still pay the same amount (PLN 65) for the best available speed in its offer. Whenever the highest option increases the speed, the provider is obliged to increase my internet speed as well.

Half a year ago, the speed increased to 60 mb / s, but I did not feel it, and although he assures me on the phone that he automatically raised this something, I doubt it because for a long time (certainly more than half a year) the highest speed I can download files are 3 Mbps.

And I just wanted to ask how is it calculated, is the download speed in line with my internet speed or is my provider trying to deceive me?

I also conducted various speed tests. Here I post the results:

The speed of the download also depends on the capacity of the server in which the files are located. There are certainly restrictions not to block other users.

Internet speed is 60Mb / s = 60 megabits per second.
File sizes are given in megabytes (MB).
1MB = 8Mb.
So 60/8 = 7.5
~ 7.5MB / s this is the maximum speed at which the file can be downloaded.
The download is 3MB / s because the server from which you are downloading is probably not able to send faster, has some limitations, etc.

The screenshots have a DL 40Mb / s or 5MB / s. Probably downloads 3MB / s, which is all Ok. if he had yet learned to correctly distinguish and name units. That's how we have to guess. I suggest that some forum users read about the units and their notation, because on this forum they regularly write nonsense (e.g. 3mb / s is 3 millibits per second).

Try to download the test file from www.noc.gts.pl or any drivers from nVidia.
These are fast servers, so you can check the actual speed of the net there.

Thanks for the answers.

It was just from my calculations that it calculated for me. I tried to download from different sites, various files to make sure of the maximum speed and it was always 3 Mb / s (eg winamp.com, various download sites, etc.). I think I will have to call him tomorrow, maybe they forgot to increase me (I do not complain about the Internet in general, and that there is no other option in my immediate vicinity, I cannot complain).

On Nvidia's websites, the driver was downloading at a speed of 3.0 - 3.9 mb / s.

I asked you to read about the units and use the right ones on the forum and you are again 3mb / s, hands are dropping.

If you have a computer connected via WiFi to AP in "G" mode, you will not get more than 3MB / s.
Connect the computer with a cable.

@ matek451 I started to write the answer before you sent your answer so I didn't read it but you are absolutely right, I just confused the units with the momentum.

According to the agreement, the internet speed should be 60 Mbits / s, files on various servers are downloaded to me at speeds of up to 3 Mb / s.

I skipped this point, didn't know it could be useful, but I connect to the internet through a WiFi router, specifically the Linksys Wireless - N Home Router Model WRT120N.

Connect with a cable and check the speed on http://speedtest.net/ Paste the result from speedtest on the forum.

I am already getting lost, internet 60Mb / s. Download 3Mb / s (3 Megabits / s) or 3MB / s (3MegaBytes / s or 24Mb / s). You see for yourself how important units are. If you have WRT-120 set to N mode and your computer card supports N, you should get up to 60 Mb / s via WiFi.

I can not believe it. Here are the results:



It turned out to be the fault of the router. I never thought that a router could determine speed so much, especially as it is fairly new (it was bought about 2 years ago). On a quick check, I checked how it downloads the driver from Nvidia, the speed was 6 MB / s. And therefore I have a question. Can something be done about it or will I need to buy newer equipment?

I meant 3 MB / s. Sorry to mix it up.

My model has a speed of up to 150Mbps, which is not a router enough to fully support the Internet 60 Mbits / s? How is it calculated?

I apologize in advance for pulling on the topic but I noticed that I obviously know a lot less than I thought. Well, you learn all your life.

So, assuming that in a year's time the speed will increase again, e.g. to 120 Mbits / s, to how many Mbps should I buy a router?

These 150/300 Mb / s are rather marketing values, the most important thing is the efficient chipset of the wifi module.

In two or three months, UPC will introduce a 500 Mb / s package I recommend TP-Link WDR3600 up to 120-250 Mb / s.

So let's assume when I buy the model you recommend, I will not have to change the router again when, for example, they increase the speed twice in the future?

Because spending two hundred zlotys every year makes me smile on average.

As for WiFi, there must also be a card in the computer that will handle it. WDR 3600 supports N300 at 2.4 and 5GHz. there is the WDR4300 model which in N 5GHz supports 450Mbit / s, so theoretically it should be able to handle these 170-200Mbit / s

150Mbit given on devices is the round trip speed. in fact, it can do about half the speed. for 150Mbit / s the real speed varies from 60 to 70Mbit / s. A lot also depends on the range of the network.

The WDR3600 will also do a great job of upgrading the link, but over the cable. Wifi ~ 80-120 Mb / s and that's with good winds. So much for ~ 200 PLN. If you can allocate ~ 1000 PLN, it is a different matter, as long as you really need such equipment for something.

Ok, thanks a lot, it seems to me that after today I have much more knowledge about routers and, unfortunately, soon I will have 200 zlotys less in my wallet, but at least I will have the internet speed I pay for (because as it turned out today, I paid half a year for a speed that I didn't even use). :|

And out of curiosity, could you please suggest some cheaper alternative to a router that would support 60 Mbits / s? (in the model you provide, after reading the specification, there are many unnecessary goodies, which are unlikely to be of any use to me and probably also inflate the price a lot).

Read about TL-WR841N. Cheaper and via WiFI should be able to do the 120Mbit / s

Copy tests (download / upload) were performed for each of the locations in the drawing showing the apartment plan using the TP-Link wireless network card TL-WDN3200 running at speed up to 300 Mbps (2.4 and 5 GHz).

To take advantage of the full speed of WiFi in the 4300, they could use an N450 card, eg TL-WDN4200

this test could as well compare these devices by checking them TL-WN722N (N150)

If you want, read about WDR-3600 http://digileaks.pl/2292-test-14-tp-link-tl-wdr3600-n600/ or WDR-4300 http://digileaks.pl/2913-test-20- tp-link-tl-wdr4300-n750 / For comparison, what can routers with full 300Mb / s and without Gigabit http://digileaks.pl/1229-test-3-8level-wrt300/ WRT-80 is such a price and quality equivalent of WR -841.
