35 mbp, started a 5mpb. Streaming one TV and light internet use on a computer is no problem. AT 5mbp a little buffering on the TV.

I'm paying for up to 100 mbps from Xfinity, getting 25. How can I improve?

for Xfinety users.... Is your $50 a month data "Capped". After X data download, they used to charge for each GB. Are the contracts still limited or "All you can download"?

I left Xfin for Centurylink. $45 (with taxes) for 60 download speed, unlimited. Lifetime contract.

Thanks.

1403 Mbps
 

My Xfinity plan is for 1200 mbps, but I get 1403!

30 mbs through verizon, $20 a month. We stream netflix on tv, have a computer and two phones with no problems. If you aren't working from home I think it's plenty.

20 down, 2 up fixed $45 at CenturyLink. I steam everything and have no issues at all so paying for higher speeds would be just throwing money away. Higher speeds are a waste of money for many, in my opinion.

I pay for 80 mbps century link... when I check with my Iphone it's anywhere between 85 to 100... when I check with my laptop I never get over 50?? why is that

Not so sure about that.
From Xfinity, I am receiving 600 (six hundred) down and 24 up service. My computers and cell phones can't even keep up. When a technician was here he verified and actually got 670 down on his new phone. Overkill yes, but the cost is (using my own modem and my own wifi router) $50 TOTAL per month. Yes, that includes taxes and fees for one year. $50.00 TOTAL.

You have got to find the weakest link. Is this measured connected by an ethernet cable or is this measured over Wi-Fi?

If it's Wi-Fi, I suspect you are using the 2.5MHz band instead of the 5MHz band. Check your connection and move it to 5 MHz and check again.

Educate me please.
 

What devices do I need to reboot (router, phones, computers)?

Un-plug them and plug them back in...

Xfinity caps all data plans in MOST every state. Here in FL (and other states) the cap is 1.2 Terabytes which is a lot. There are 2 ways to pay to get around that which can be found on their website the least expensive starts with leasing THEIR modem and paying $10 more for unlimited (modem + unlimited = $25/month) the other way is to use YOUR MODEM and pay (IIRC) $30/month. The obvious winner is choice #1 as their modem (AKA Gateway) is pretty decent. I use about 1.5-1.8 TB/month so it was to my benefit to get their modem/Gateway.

Maybe 10 years ago or if your equipment goes back to Ma Bell days (or if your 10 year old computer runs Windows M.E.) :D

For modems and routers just unplug them, wait a couple of minutes, and then plug them back in and wait a couple of minutes.

I tested at our NC house last year and was puzzled that the speed over wifi was faster than my PC, which was hard-wired. Investigated and realized that the ethernet cable from the wi-fi router to the PC was an old Cat 3. Upgraded that and fixed the problem.
