    No idea how fast is my internet...but I cant tell you the Samsung QLED (75") I just got makes me feel I go to the movies every night.
    My smart TV was finally installed last Tuesday (sat on my bedroom for a week) I use a regular antenna and I have access to more than nine hundred channels.
    I decided Optimun was robbing me blind and I replace this service (computer only) with TMobile.

    I don't know if this is good but I have panoramic wi-fi. I have 5G and 2.5G.

    Here's my numbers from that test site.
    Ping 15 ms
    Upload 2.91 Mbps
    Download 60.15 Mbps

    Not so great today, although it feels fast enough.

    This is my Dell laptop. For whatever reason, all my Apple devices are faster.

    If it does what you need it to, it's good enough. :D

    I'm paying for high speed internet and I expect to have high speed internet. I'll do the CenturyLink speed check tomorrow and see what they say.

    Just run the test yourself. Anything 25 mbps and higher download is considered "high speed" internet.

    On the CenturyLink test, I got .... ping 30..... download 8.... upload 0.6

    On another speed check, I got ....ping 69..... download 7.87.... upload 0.71

    So what does that mean?

    That means that your computer isn't getting "high speed" internet. That could be an issue with the computer itself and not your provider, especially if it's an older machine. My Windows machine gets a lot slower connection than my Apple devices.

    Yes. On the same Internet connection that powers our Macs, our Windows machine barely gets enough of a connection to get on the Internet, and sometimes not even that.
