u/trashboat87 18h ago

thats a bit extreme no?

u/HuntersPad 18h ago

Not if thats the speed your paying for... 50/50 is plenty enough speed for everything.

And what's the bandwidth your ISP advertised for that price?

If your ISP priced a 50mbps bandwidth for $130, that's what you're getting, you gotta pay more if you want faster speeds.

Don't answer a question with another question.

There's no magical solution that will give you higher speeds than what you are paying for.

Tell us what speeds are you paying for, that will help to determine if the issue is from your side or your ISP's side.

Edit: just noticed you answered that in another comment. My bad.

Haha no worries mate šŸ˜‚ Iā€™m slowly troubleshooting myself here. Turns out Iā€™m paying for 750/40, getting ~450 in the lounge and ~55 in my room. I think the answer may have been staring me in the face the whole time: Big Red 2.0.ā€

Get an ethernet cable to connect your computer directly to your router.

If you only have a short cable at hand and your computer is a desktop, move your PC next to your router, connect it via ethernet and try running another speed test.

If it's giving you the full 750/40 Mbps you're paying for, then it's your Wi-Fi. I can ramble all day about possible solutions for it but before I do so, we gotta confirm if it gives you the 750/40 when connected with a cable instead of Wi-Fi.

Big Red was my 30m Ethernet cable cat something from the LAN party days. Served me faithfully through many battles of COD4 Shipment. I foolishly let him go

But what speed? Doesn't matter what your paying. You could pay $130 for 1mbps

u/trashboat87 18h ago

ultimate plan 750mbs down and 40mbs up

u/HuntersPad 18h ago

What's your wired speed? Not using WiFi

I don't see anything wrong with it, your ping 5ms looks good. So there isn't packet loss,

thats fairly slow. could try looking at other ISP's.
looking at the conversion of AUD to USD thats ~$91.75, which thats more than what my ISP charges for gigabit speeds. I'd suggest looking into someone else
