Is fiber a scam?

I just switched to fiber internet and all the "speed test" websites are showing a very good 800-900 MBPS on these websites.

However, if I try to download a large file from the internet it shits out around 30MB/s. Examples being steam library downloads or ripping a porn vid from pornhub.com. When I was using Xfinity, browsing and loading of streams would be a little slower but when I needed to download a large file it would go fast as fuck.

Is this because my fiber provider's hardware infrastructure is shit? It can handle live data but pushing/packaing large quantities of data it shits the bed? What gives?

I didn't buy fiber service to download at 30 MB/s.

Ruled out local network issues by directly plugging two different Ethernet cords from wall jack into PC. Same issue if router is introduced.

It all depends on how fast the site you're downloading from can upload

I agree that's why I tried multiple places. Steam, Origin, Ripping from Youtube & Pornhub. All plateau in the 30MB/s neighborhood.

You're a brainlet.
Mbps does not equal MB/s. You're also limited by the upload bandwidth of the website/service you're downloading stuff from.

I know you fucking retard that's why I used two different designations. You think if I didn't know that I wouldn't have used two different abbreviations? Also do the math and see that even if I was missing this discrepancy it would still be super fucking low you double retard.

Winbabbies really need to fuck off from this board

also bloatbabies

Lincucks really need to fuck off from this board

wincucks need to fuck off from this board

what

Stupid nigger there's a difference between Mbps and MBps. Don't fucking capitalize the whole thing and get snappy at me you inbred faggot.

not him but
bits and bytes right?

That's why I capitalized it you absolute fucking faggot drooling droopy eyed faggot nigger. TO EMPHASIZE.

Fucking AUSTISM

kys dumb autist

You're not considering all things that can limit your download. The drive you download to could be a bottle neck. Also , most servers aren't gonna allocate too much bandwidth to a random pleibeian such as yourself.

> 600 - 900 MB/s home connection
>Is really sure he has 4800mb/s - 7200mb/s connection
Just for fun, link us to the page where your isp is offering this connection of yours.

itt bloatfaggots arguing with each other

here you go you ugly faggot nigger

inb4 hes fucking downloading to an HDD with a 30MB/s read speed and the write cache fills up and it bottlenecks.

s/read/write/

oh my fucking lord i kek'd

Not OP but this isn't something I've ever thought of. Then again the max internet speed I've ever had is like 30 Mb/s.

It's horrible on Windows.
If you bottleneck write speed basically everything stops responding because the IO scheduling is garbage.

850 EVO

It was way faster on xfinity

I would run some benchmarks just to check. A lot of those drives had firmware bugs on initial format that caused heinous write performance.

it worked fine until i adjusted the ISP

What the fuck is this?


I can imagine us all in a room chatting about internet speed

and you, the autist, screams aloud
>850 EVO!!!
At the top of your lungs the second the room goes quiet

Could just be a coincidence, I would rule out your hardware first. Especially if it starts fast and only slows down on downloads (they are writing continuously).

projecting much? how's your A+ coming along? go to the dentist faggot

OK good thing I didnt cancel my Xfinitiy service yet. I am going to plug my cable back in and do a download test/comparison

I think he literally got upset because he didn't know what an 850 EVO was.

He is the type of kid you shout go long over and over and then never throw the football to while you walk away.

OK booted up the old xfinity router/modem that I was going to take back today

Probably.

OK boomer

holy fucking cringe

wew this thread went from 0 to full autism pretty fast

MB is a megabyte

Mb is a megabit.

transfer rates are measured in Mbps

There's always gonna be a bottleneck somewhere m8

Can you download multiple files at 30MB/s at the same time? What do you get for large torrents or other multistream transfers?

Also note that ISPs use QoS to prioritize bandwidth test sites

You could have read the thread. You could have done the math. You chose neither.

30MB/s is 240mbps
are you sure your shitty hard drive can handle the speeds?
that's pretty good for any website, nobody is going to give you 100% of their upload bandwidth.

yea
that's why "mbps" and "MB/s" is usually used, so normies don't get confused.

then you must not think much

>Implying any server would give you 1 Mbps upload speed

You've been had.

It's likely your router can't handle the load.
1gbps doesn't "just work" on consumer garbage.

>shitty hard drive
even shitty hard drives can handle at least 110MB/s

KEK

HAHAHA GOOD JOKE KIDDO
>never used a fucking 5400RPM drive

> implying
I won't bother unpacking my WD40EZRZ drives which came in the mail today, but check this:
hdd.userbenchmark.com/WD-Blue-4TB-2015/Rating/3523
It's a Blue which is basically a renamed Green.

>However, if I try to download a large file from the internet it shits out around 30MB/s
1) Megabits per second != Megabytes per second
2) The connection is only as fast as the bottleneck, which may be the server you're downloading from.

>posts a decent drive
wew you sure are retarded
there are hundreds of drives that don't break 50MB/s

You're fucking wrong though.

MB/S and MBPS are the same fucking thing.
A MB is differen't from a Mb.

My 2.5" 5 y/o 5400rpm drive from 2013 can have 100MB/s

No, fiber service is actually a cheap and easier way to deploy Internet access to clients instead of phone lines or other copper wires.
It enables multiple services on a single cable with a wide bandwidth to use. A high bitrate is just a consequence, if you're not using it then just downgrade and pay less you faggot.
Fiber is not just about muh speeds xD, it's also about simplifying and using a cheap future proof infrastructure.
