Verizon Speed Test Vs Speedtest Net Speed Test

Verizon and the other telephone companies are trying to stop Speedtest.net from showing how slow their Internet services are in certain areas. When you do a speed test on your computer, it will ping Verizon's servers and report back what is called a latency measurement, which can be anywhere between 100ms up to 500ms for DSL connections (note: when I say DDWRT router

I am referring to any router that has been configured with a Dynamic DNS service). If the number falls within the acceptable range of 50ms - 150 ms then there isn't anything wrong with your connection.

The internet has grown more important than ever before. It's not just for work anymore, it is the main form of entertainment and communication at home. In order to receive the best experience, most people purchase high-speed internet with their cable or satellite companies. This isn't always an option though. Many people have found that although they have Verizon as a cell phone provider they cannot get fast enough broadband service from them over a wireline connection.

Some are able to get DSL but many aren't even offered this choice by their local providers these days. So what are you supposed to do when your only option is slow Verizon Wireless Broadband? The next best thing, in many cases, is around the corner. Many people are not aware that a provider called Cable One does have service in their area and they offer speeds up to 50Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload. This is more than fast enough for anyone's needs because Netflix recommends a speed of 5-10 Mbps to stream HD content (but if you can get 25-30 Mpbs or higher, you'll be fine.)

It has excellent customer support, strong security as well as many other benefits that we will go over later. Speedtest Net is an incredible website created by a company called Ookla which tests your internet connection against others around the world using their services. They use this data to determine average speeds for both wired DSL connections along cellular data from wireless providers.

Verizon:

Verizon quickly acquires an IP address from your DSL modem (the phone line connection in your house) and then sends data up to the closest 500-mile diameter point of their network where they have another computer collect data on your line speed back down at the local office or exchange.

The Verizon Wireless Internet access is not a separate entity or even part of their Fiber Optic Network . It still uses very similar DSL lines provided by companies like AT&T and Time Warner Cable that have been re-branded with a new name ... but it's still basically the same DSL technology being advertised as "Wireless FIOS" at places where there isn't adequate local copper infrastructure for them to offer a FTTP (Fiber-To-The-Premises) solution. AT&T has several different names that it rebrands the same DSL technology under depending on where you live.

Verizon owns a lot of their own copper infrastructure (fiber lines for phones and videos) that they also use to bring their FiOS service directly into your home with fiber optics, but there are other areas where they still use existing phone lines provided by AT&T or Spectrum (formerly TWC). The only difference is the Verizon branded name on that DSL connection.

Speedtest:

Net will not test against your wireless internet speeds like you may see on your smartphone... it's testing against your local network router/modem/line interface hardware. You can run this test simultaneously while using any other type of internet service from any provider. It just needs to be a public IP address in order to test against a live server.

There are multiple levels of security you can set on your router for your home or business network, therefore having their own speed limiters that will affect the results of this test at certain times of day from people around the world requesting access to it ... and it's not uncommon for these numbers to spike up during peak hours if there is an event like an eclipse.
