Comment on Something About Google Fiber Doesn't Sit Right with Me

Comments

"To get that in writing, that’s 91.58 Mbps down and 35.01 Mbps up."

No. That's how fast speedtest.net is. Google Fiber is much, much faster. Try it again with http://speedtest.googlefiber.net/

Yeah the 48ms ping was a dead giveaway that something in that test wasn't right. Bad wireless, dodgy connection, poorly chosen server.

An Ethernet→router→fibre→local-speedtest node trip should be closer to 5ms, if that.
