Is there a clear definition of 'typical' when it comes to the speeds/latency - e.g., should I expect this on a p95 level at my residence for the contract? I ask because I'm paying for a service advertising itself as 500mbps down/10 mbps up/latency 14ms, but I have never in my 3 years of paying for it seen that level of performance.
Running a `networkquality` test right now on ethernet reveals about 159 down/2.0 up/latency 50ms, which is closer to what I've come to expect on any given run On top of that, if the confines of 'typical' are broken on the side of the provider, would this just be an fcc complaint? More than happy to track this over the course of a month and provide data to back up my findings |

Is the coax line leading to your house in good condition? Is your ISP performing some kind of maintenance on their local infrastructure? How new is your modem and what does it support? What about your router? Ethernet cables or wifi? What about the computer that's interfacing with it, is that the bottleneck? Is all the relevant firmware up to date? What is connected to your network and what is it doing?
I have high end networking equipment that's all kept up-to-date and I generally get a bit higher than what is advertised.
If you have poor quality or old modem and router, they're never going to be able to handle 500 mbps down.
