...Excuse me ISP?

I get like 200 down and 15 up. Bullshit, huh?
-_-

That's around 25 MB/s download.
Or a whole copy of Animal Crossing on the GameCube a second.

I'm getting around 4.6 MB/s.
That's like one of my assignments per second.
Adjusting for the lag that generally accompanies downloads because why not, I'm averaging a maximum of 1 MB/s. Most websites it's 674 KB/s.

(8 Mbps = 1 MB/s)

I know that 200 down is good, I'm saying that it's BS I only get 15 up, especially since my dad pays nearly $80 a month for the internet + landline phone.. But honestly I do hope that you get better internet soon, and maybe a better router like for example the ones Google makes, they're kinda nice since they do speed tests from the router itself which gives more accurate results for the general speed, not just the connection speed of a specific device. (since the more things you connect to a router, the more the bandwidth tends to get split between them all)

Check your network gears, if you have a router that only capable of outputting 50 Mbps, then you won't get that 300Mbps even if you paid for it.
 
I remember having Comwave internet in an area where it was not provided locally (best for those in Toronto) and let me tell you it sucked it took like two to three minutes to just search things up and online gaming was a no go. So I can identify with your pain regarding the internet connection.

    Google isn't very helpful anymore, you get recommended loads of crap that doesn't solve the thing that you're looking for.

    @K3Nv2, afaik yeah but I also don't think that it runs on home grade routers like openwrt/dd-wrt does. OPNsense runs on full-on x86 PC hardware
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Sadly openwrt seems to be dying for support unless it's just. Anew name
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Like made by the same devs different architecture
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    idk, I mean it had a new release back in March https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/releases
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Not sure how recent hardware it supports though
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I mean for 1st party routers iirc linksys use to support it
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    ahhhh that I have no idea
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    pretty cool though if so
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Or from what ive heard ways to set custom imgs for 1st party routers so locked down now days
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    OPNsense VM and specs and specs of system it's running on. https://imgur.com/a/S9wgGUD
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I've turned more features on in OPNsense lately and it's getting kind of high on RAM usage, I see. Probably bump that up to 4GB soon
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I wanna make a 8core router with support for 20gbps doesn't even sound that silly lol
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I only have 1 gig internet but internally I have 10 gig connectivity for everything on my lan lol
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    fiber connection from my desktop PC back to my core network switch
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    2 port HPE SFP+ PCIE NIC in my desktop and all of my servers
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    silly shit
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    eventually this desktop is going to act as a server too, just for the hell of it. Because this PC is WAY fucking overkill for how little I use it.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    And once I do that, my desktop OS that I interact with is just going to be a virtual machine and use GPU passthrough to connect everything
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Send it to me ffs
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    No because it's my desktop lol
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    The most use this PC is getting right now is 979 Chrome tabs open right now
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    This is my desktop there are many like it but it is mine alone
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Enabled PPPoE on router now no wifi connection lul
    Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy: F
