only issue is with youtube peering, and if you have a VPN its not an issue.
I personally keep an SSH tunnel open to a VPS in new york and tunnel my Google Chrome Canary (dev build) through there. So when watching youtube in normal chrome it goes through my normal routing, if i notice it starts to have buffering issues I just copy and paste the address into canary and it's no longer an issue since it gets routed to a VPS in NYC where peering isn't an issue.
>pay for 1000 mbits
>get 40 mbits
kek is this even legal?
Technically I think I'm paying for gigabit download, the upload isn't guaranteed
How much you getting in download? Personally only care about upload speed because of muh sekkrit club trackers otherwise it doesn't really matter
Well skipping my router I get 950mbps down, but when I'm connected to the router I only get about 500mbps down. Even though my router advertises gigabit networking it doesn't seem like it can handle that.
everyone only cares about download speed until they suddenly have to upload something big, then they hate their shitty upload speed and want to murder their ISP.
Jesus, at least the Verizon router can do full 945/945mbps
Even somewhat decent routers can do 700mbps WAN/LAN.
To only hit 500, that's not good....
Honestly it's really frustrating because there was no indication in the amazon reviews or anywhere that the router wouldn't be able to handle the advertised speed of a gigabit. I've got a gigabit switch coming in tomorrow so maybe I can bypass the router through the switch or something. Worst case I have to get a new router.
would require a managed switch.
Unmanaged switch can't do it.
Well fuck, at least now I know.
