Show off your speed

Just had AT&T upgrade my DSL this morning. Went from an old Siemens SpeedStream 4100 to an Arris NVG510. My speed was upgraded from 3 to 12 MBPS, but I have a maximum of 24MBPS.

Too bad the upload speed isn't much better, that's what is really important when you want to host servers on your network.
 
I know. At least with the faster download speeds sites are loading faster. So far I have had no buffering with YouTube. I keep my iPod Touch on the dock a lot and I listen to the radio at night, and now iHeartRadio doesn't buffer the stations anymore!

They also gave us a Belkin Rev B battery backup (only powers the DSL modem), so if we get a power outage, we still have wireless internet for iPods and laptops (the gaming PC won't run during an outage, DUH!), and the backup can keep the modem up for about 4 hours.

It was fun watching the AT&T technician re-build our phone box (added cat5 wires and a surge fuse). He put a toner onto the line because we have two lines, one for data and the other for phone. He would go to each phone jack and listen on each of the lines for the toner, and as we got closer to the computer room we finally traced the lines to the phone jack in the computer room. It turns out, the phone jack on the wall in the computer room is a hole in the wall with a thin cat5 wire that goes under the carpet in the next room and to a phone jack in that room. WTF?! I took pictures!: http://imgur.com/a/GFDMO

Does that also power your wireless router?
 
Uverse isn't the same as DSL by the way. We had DSL at 3mbps down like you did and now it's 6mpbs down on Uverse, although we get slightly more. Uverse really is a pretty solid and reliable connection and the router that we have is good. Just speed is slow.

The modem and router is an all in once device that has a rental fee. Mine has a backup battery also. I'm pretty sure it controls your home phone and TV as well, I know mine does. That is assuming you use AT&T for those services as well.
 
We just got ATT for Internet and phone. We have DirecTV for our TV. The modem is hooked into a data line and a phone line, and the modem blinks when we get a phone call. We now have caller ID as well.
 
If you are paying for 12mbps then you aren't getting any where near your speed. You need to call them. Are you connected with an lan cable or wireless?
 
I got bored at work so I set up a GRE tunnel to a cheapy VPS and did some policy-based routing to pipe all web traffic out of Canada. I'm surprised it could keep up with my downstream!

His new test was 13.

That's way slow bro. Only 750 Mbps upload? Either you need to contact your ISP and tell them to fix that (unless that's actually part of you package, in which case your internet sucks) or get faster internet.

lawl.

I think they force DSCP/COS markings and have a couple different reserved queues, I hooked up the old ER-Pro and get different results depending on what queue they fall into (10 mbps by default).

This all went over my head, but you could probably download a 4K movie in like 30 seconds, also, no lag in CSGO
 
I don't even know what to use all of this power for!

This still isn't my full potential, I have pulled over 900 down and up.
