Interesting topic. I don't really work anymore so not something I'm looking for 😊 I'm shocked by the internet speeds. I live in rural Vermont and have a fiber 1 Gig internet connection. In the US, the government has pushed (read financed) high speed internet for areas with poor connectivity like rural areas. Before that there were some corporations like Google that were running super high speed in certain markets as a test. Google started hooking up Kansas City with Gig speed fiber in 2010 as a test and have since started rolling Google Fiber out to other cities with speeds up to 8 Gig. This isn't an ignorant privileged American post, there is a point lol I bet there are some spots in Europe with test probrams that are way above average speed and not only expensive markets. Kansas City is definitely a second tier US city, maybe not even that high lol

Can you please run a speed check and post a screenshot here? There are several speed checkers available online.

Thank you! The reason I asked for a test is because I did my research before publishing my post and have not seen these numbers anywhere, not even close and the US was not even close to the top countries with the fastest internet :)

Here's an article from 2023 for example. The fastest is Monaco with 319.59 Mbps, which is one third of what you got. I checked a few other articles with statistics and did not see a higher number. So we either testing different things or ... I don't know 😁

This is from 2021 they say.
