Guest asrequested Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Google Fiber is in sf. Hopefully it won't be too long before it makes its way to the north bay. Until then, Comcast. 240/12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its weird to hear about all of these goofy comcast/xfinity plans in different areas.... They don't even offer a 240/12 here... but we can get 2gigabit for a car payment its just strange to me that they have so many different plans between the different states and counties.....

It must have something to do with the cable infrastructure, and local regulations. Edited April 12, 2017 by Doofus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharleyVarrick 277 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) As a telcom worker, I have an unlimited 120d/20u plan for 25$/month (employee discount). Otherwise they're asking 75$ for it. I have used up to 4.5tb per month since I went for it. They also offer unlimited gigabyte internet (940d/50u) but they're charging 150$/month for regular folks. I haven't asked yet what's my staff price Edited May 21, 2017 by jlr19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueeyiz702 216 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) I'm in Las Vegas Nevada and none of the isp's will service my area because its such a crappy neighborhood. Do you guys have any idea's where or what i might do do get faster speed Its sad that you have to deal with internet speeds this slow,and no isp is willing to provide service. This is a joke,if you can pay for it whats the problem. Greedy @^$*$ Edited May 30, 2017 by Blueeyiz702 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharleyVarrick 277 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) Wow, this was already bad 15 years ago. What do you mean by crappy neighborhood? I actually work for a big telcom (up north in Canada), and we do have a channel for voicing frustrated customer (& non-customer alike). I can't guarantee it'll work for you but write an actual paper-envelope-stamp letter to your ISP's upper management. This way you go over the head of the front lines of contacts straight to the top (or very near it). Good luck!

Jdiesel 1114 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I pay $74/month CAD for a 25/2 Mbps connection with no caps which obviously is not enough upload bandwidth for even a single Emby stream. So I rent a dedicated server in Germany with 1000/1000 Mbps connection, i7 3770 CPU, 32 GB ram, 24 TB of storage, plus the cost of electricity to run it 24/4 all for the same cost of my terrible home connection. They are rolling out fibre in my city but it isn't available in my neighborhood yet and even with the fibre packages the upload bandwidth is abysmal. That is the Canadian telecommunication industry for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharleyVarrick 277 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) The problem is universal, and not limited to a country, state/province or city. It's called "Good Ol' ROi, you know this guy? Return on Investment is the name of the game. Telcom complains they can't offer top tier service everywhere, because of low population density, high distance to cover, too much competition, and the such. It is not false that in some area, they will never break even, but... We don't hear them complain when they're providing full services in highly populated city area. Infrastructure cost are absorbed in a few weeks when you get 70% customer share in high rise city blocks. Sometime, city hall and various level of governments must step in and twist the telcom's arm into providing adequate services at a fair price for their population.

Sometime, city hall and various level of governments must step in and twist the telcom's arm into providing adequate services at a fair price for their population. That is very true. I live in a Canadian province that operates a government/public telecommunications company (the last remaining in Canada if I'm not mistaken). By only existing the government run telecommunications company forces the "Big Three" private telecommunications companies to significantly reduce prices to remain competitive in this region. So much so that there is a black market for cell phones registered in this province that are shipped elsewhere in Canada to be used. When the exact same plan with one three private companies costs $20 per month less in one region with a population of 250,000 and government competition than a region with a population of 2,500,000 and no competition it goes to show that population density isn't really the driving force. That being said there is no surprise that the "Big Three" telecommunication companies have been foaming at the mouth to buy out the last remaining government run company and put an end to this competition once and for all. Just a bit of a rant for my fellow Canadians who are all well aware of Canada's telecom prices as compared to other first-world counties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Untoten 296 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) Mine seems to vary between test sites... I have two gigabit internet connections that are identical, I load balance my incoming requests between the two NIC's but I have no way to bind them for a speedtest, so these are my results for one connection/NIC. My actual bandwidth should be double what these results show. My emby server also sits in a data center. This just shows the load balancing taking place when someone watches a movie: So my speed should be around 1.8/1.8Gbps ±100Mbps ISP? Metro Area? EDIT: I'm an idiot it's in the first pic... Damn, I live in Mil, gotta get a house down there just for emby lol Edited June 19, 2017 by Untoten 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, I live in Mil, gotta get a house down there just for emby lol Actually my emby sits in a low cost data center. They have two main fiber backbone connections cogent, and Level3. I just used Comcast's speed test, because it used to test on IPv4 and IPv6. But it no longer does, they use speedtest.net 's html5 speed test now, so I might as well stick to beta.speedtest.net.

The data center I'm in doesn't advertise prices so I don't want to post that info here.. But I have 5U's of space and I pay a little more than what this company is charging for 4U's. http://webcs.com/webcsdocs/server_colocation.php that company also uses convergent and level3. They have a few data centers,Indiana/Chicago, Dallas, and Kansas City. The data center I'm in still has rules, and abides by all laws.. It's not a hacker data center or anything. I'm sure they monitor their network, so you shouldn't do anything shady either or they will boot you. I wouldn't worry about it getting "raided" but rather a fire or natural disaster.. I have insurance on my server. Just tried the google speed test, and it couldn't keep up lol. This is what I was talking about, it's hit or miss with some speed tests once you get above 400mbps or so I then tried AT&T's speed test and it looks better.
