If using wifi with an iPhone the speeds will be less but in the ballpark. If you have the 500Mbs service you should also see bi-directional speeds, up to 500Mbs.
The problem is the upload speeds Quantum is providing is around 50Mbs, which is totally wrong. This started happening about 2 weeks ago to residents subscribed to Quantum Fiber in Osceola Hills and may be happening in other areas around the Villages. Techs have been out and nothing is wrong with the customer's equipment or connections. Apparently they have a problem in their network and because the download speeds are normal, no one knows that the upload speeds being privided are not. So you are paying for a service that you are not getting.
All this said, to see if you are effected, check your connection by using this speed test Speedtest by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test and use the CentryLink Orlando server. If you are getting very slow upload speeds then call Quantum Fiber on 833-250-6306 and complain. If we don't complain I fear they will never fix this problem.
I've had Quantum Fiber for over three years and never had a problem but this issue is totally unacceptable because they are not providing the service that they are advertising and we are paying for. If you can reply to this thread after you do a speed test, we will be able to see how wide spread or not this problem is and see what options we have to get Quantum Fiber to correct the problem. |
My download speed with Spectrum is 101 Mbps, upload is 11 Mbps. The speed is adequate for my needs. Not sure why you need superfast upload speed there. I have always seen upload speed at about 10% of download speed with comcast or spectrum or any other provider that I had.
According to speedtest:
Your Internet connection should be able to handle multiple devices streaming HD videos, video conferencing, and gaming at the same time.
