Your speed will not be much faster than the max speed of your wifi service contract (or agreement, if you pay month by month). Your speed will also be significantly slower if you are piggybacking multiple devices on a single router. Your speed will also be significantly lower if you are using a device that is physically further away from your router. It will also be slower than if you were hdmi-connected directly to your modem rather than using a wifi network in the house.

This is whether you have 5G service or not. Having 5G service is useless if your devices can't go that fast to begin with.

Just make sure that all equipment is capable of gigabyte internet speeds, including modem, wifi transmitters and receivers, and computer devices, then you aren't equipment limited for the internet speed your purchase delivers.

Also remember that you are sharing the internet cord with all your neighbors on the same ethernet circuit, so speeds will vary by total neighborhood simultaneous use. . . which is why buffering happens more often in early evening.

Internet speeds in the villages is pretty poor because as far as I know, all the internet providers use copper. I get 1G download and 30M upload. I used fiber in my last 2 houses and I was getting over 1G down and up with much lower latency. Copper networks are much more noisier too so when you are streaming you can tell the difference. I pay $80 for 1G speed.

My download speed is 218
My upload speed is 11
My latency is 35 ms (no idea what that means)
My retransmission is 3.88% (no idea what that means)

Download 59
Upload 11.4

Direct Connect:

Download: 932 Mbps
Upload: 940 Mbps
Latency: 8ms

Wireless:

Download: 770 Mbps
Upload: 743 Mbps
Latency: 8ms

I'm not using the Wifi 6 router that was included - I'm using a Wifi 6 Netgear Orbi mesh system. I get the same speeds all over the house and on multiple devices at the same.

When I go in my backyard, speeds on wifi drop as follows:

Download: 450 Mbps
Upload: 470 Mbps
Latency: 8ms

Speed depends on the time of day you check it. In the morning with lots of people online it will be slower. After 9PM with most people in bed it will be a lot faster.

This morning. 125/24/34ping
Comcast Xfinity

I have a 60 mbps for download and 12 for upload. My ping is 28. This is a wireless connection. I pay $35/month. I am very satisfied as I get no buffering. This is with Xfinity.

567 download. 17 upload. Comcast, extra speed. Near 466 and Morse.

My download is 906m/b and upload is 863m/b. I have CenturyLink fiber right into the house, $65mo for life tax included

South of 44 the homes have a fiber option.

I get about the same on Xfinity 600Mbps tier.

That's true for cable and DSL, but not for fiber. Fiber doesn't suffer from the bandwidth limitations that cable and DSL do.

That may be technically accurate, but, if you have a good high speed cable service, I don't think you will be suffering from any bandwidth limitations that you would even notice. I sure don't. Everything seems to work fine 24 hours a day.

TECHNICALLY that's possible, but very highly unlikely in this day and age unless one lives in the middle of nowhere where the local cable node only has enough bandwidth to handle 10 people. That's how it was back in the (19)80's and 90's when cable was new. It's doubtful that ever happens anymore. DSL (where it still exists) it is more likely. Xfinity is selling 1Gbps pipes to homes so you can be sure your bandwidth will be solid.

Fiber ... I'm jealous of those who can get it. We missed by about 1/2 mile here. Always had Verizon Fios in NJ. Best CL could offer us is 20Mbps circa 1980 DSL here. Tried that for 2 weeks when we first moved in and never got more than 2-3Mbps 'cause we're probably at the furthest end from CL DSLAM. Was desperately trying to avoid ComCrap but it turns out they have been 99% reliable in the 5+ years we had them here after those horrible first 2 weeks with C.L. DSL. Those were and are the ONLY options available here. CL DSL or Xfinity/ComCrap. I'd love to see them bring in fiber here but it'll never happen in my remaining lifetime.
