Link to speed test. Good for U.S.A. and don't know about overseas ... Speedtest dot net

After the test runs, there is a "Share" feature above the left side of the results image.
I clicked on the first image button to the right of "Share" and copied the image URL.
 

Mine varies greatly depending on whether or not my grandson remembers to uninstall his games and discord server and all the related stuff. When he forgets, my PC runs quite a bit slower than usual until I uninstall all that crap myself. This PC wasn't built for gaming.
 
I ran the test with 5 other devices on my LAN and all up and running.
I'm very happy with Spectrum. The plan I have is for 300Mbps.
As shown, I'm getting much better than that and about exactly the same when the 5 other devices are disconnected from the LAN.
Not the fastest available from Spectrum, just their starter speed for around here, but all I need and very stable.
I reboot the modem and router every couple of months ... only just because.

EDIT: The router I have is their business router though. More robust than their residential router.
Tech had that on the truck and that's what I got. He knew he was hooking me up.
 

We have the 200 mbps plan, and get 240 per the Ookla test, which I've been using (among others) for ages.

Added: we have the 100 mbps plan, but xfinity bumped up the speed recently, so 240 is great!

For the past 5 years I was on Comcast Business because Xfinity had 1GB-1.2GB data limits. Business was a 200/20 plan and I was getting 240dn 24up. Last week I switched to an Xfinity plan because they now have unlimited data ($45/mo less). New plan is quoted as 800/20 and I'm getting 940/24.
 
Mine is so slow it barely registers. And said I have problems with websites I've not dealt with, at least not in decades, if ever.
 
What is a good and bad speed? Mine seems to work fine, and we often have 2 or 3 TVs and a video game thing going at the same time (grandkids, not me). We have no other lines to the house, no telephone or TV cables.

I have fiber optic cable and some kind of expensive special router for "high" speed. Our small town got the fiber optic using a government grant a few years back, and advertise it's the fastest. May not be true.

We pay $50/month for "UTOPIA UIA, 1000 Mbps". Are we not getting what we pay for?
 
I have Verizon and they guarantee an up to speed which I forget. The speed varies a lot I believe due to the amount of activity from other users. I'm not a techie.
 
I had BT for a while, but they simply don't care about rural communities and all I got was a pigeon once a day with a bag full of bytes. I changed to a 4G network which was 20 times faster and cheaper. It's still slow - not the trillion gigabytes a nanosecond that some people expect.
