Updates no longer PAINFUL!
Had an "update" today. What normally would take an hour or more to do, maybe 10 minutes, if that to complete...
Am I happy, or just greedy fo not having fast internet for so long? I say BOTH!

Ok so the cellular network engineers deserve a medal or something.
Just for clarity, this is 4G on a phone that doesn't have 5G and there was no wifi
.
Holy dooley batman...

Try fast.com for a speed test. From what I have heard, this fast dot com is a NETFLIX server and seems to be the most reliable speed test out there..now if someone has one better, post it up.

I did!! And it does seem to be a realistic test.
320 Mbps via my cell connection [4G].
I am in the office, our cable network here only gave 10Mbps max, and it was around 7 for most of the test.
Based on this I think we're throttled by the cabling in our building [installed many years ago]. Mr diogenes009 shared some cable information some months back about max speeds in different spec cables, I guess internet speeds have increased a lot since this building was wired...
This is why I am back to using my 4G for both home and work now. It beats the 10Mbps here in the office, and the 50Mbps at home with the fibre optics. Cheaper too, I now pay $55 for 400GB/m which is plenty for me.
