Wow, what’s wrong with me?

I do live in a large apartment complex, FWIW.
I just checked my speed on my iPad, which is connected to my home WiFi, and got the following speeds:
Download: 33 Mbps
Upload: 12.5 Mbps
Using my cellular service (Verizon LTE) for my iPad at home, I got the following:
Download: 12.5 Mbps
Upload: 1.25 Mbps
Charter/Spectrum, fiber to the (rural) neighborhood hub, then copper to the home, wired to the computer(s):
Speedtest.net: 111Mb/s down, 11 up, 37ms ping
Nominal is 100/10
I have a commercial account in a residential neighborhood; some of my neighbors don’t have a computer and most use it only for emailing pix of their grandkids. So I get the full bandwidth all the time, not like at work, where the connection is shared with many offices, and slows down during the workday.
And I know Charter doesn’t throttle me, as I just finished uploading 40GB of video and speedtest still shows the max.
I’m at the library. Theirs is:
Ping: 16ms
Download: 8.44mbps
Upload: 9.29mbps
I should add that the advertising on the Dope changes at a speed approaching that of a strobe when I’m here.
Damn! Incredible speeds!
Damn! Incredible upload speed!
Funny. I have Comcast cable internet and pay for their version of that “blast” or whatever. During June and July while my sons were out of school we almost hit our data cap with Comcast (which I didn’t know existed) of 1024GB…per month. Our normal usage is about 500GB/month also.
That’s similar to what I get. 300 down, 30-something up depending.
That’s just insanity. I bet the Dope only takes five minutes to load now instead of ten!
At this moment I have 30 Mbps down, 5 Mbps up, and actually get slightly better than that, and it’s only because I didn’t see any real need for anything more for the stuff I do. But with increasing use of streaming services the problem that’s recently come up is the 250 GB monthly download cap. Turns out, this is an obsolete concept and I only have it because my obsolete plan is grandfathered. Next week I’m changing over to what is actually now the minimum tier, which is 150 Mbps with unlimited downloads. The max in this area is 1 Gbps. Technology is changing fast, obviously accelerated by competition between cable broadband and telcos’ DSL.
131 down / 6.83 up / 12 Ms ping.
The upstream speed is some artificial limitation from Comcast - there’s no practical reason it shouldn’t be higher except that Comcast doesn’t want me running a server or something, probably.
FCC defines Broadband as 25 Mbps minimum download.
8M down 700K up. That is without checking if either of the two gamers are online or if the 2 youtubers are using it. I do know we aren’t streaming ATM unless one of the gamers is. The speed s the best I have available.
