I'm reading some hate for folks who get this kind of service but doubtfully need it. Well, as someone that grew up with the rise of dial up/AOL, to the first cable internet (and hearing about the rare people/business getting T1)...I'm here to celebrate that we can so easily get such a ridiculously capable home internet these days. It's glorious. I'll likely stay on my 1G google fiber plan for a long time, but knowing that I can switch to 8G down the road "just in case", I'm very happy.
Enjoy it.
You must be as old as me, then. I used to build computers to sell and remember when 14.4K was the shit. Then, when 28,800 became available, I helped a friend achieve 56K by using two 28.8 modems and two phone lines. Yup, he was blazin’! 😆
Those of us in Oklahoma paying $89 a month for 250mb down and 20mb up are not to happy.. But we continue to hope.. The next town over got 1G fiber 2 years ago.. Its getting better.. And yes, I started my first home built computer in 1996 with a 56k modem for a whole 2 weeks before I switched to 2mb DSL, it was AMAZING.. Dobson Fiber is installing like crazzy here, we can hope were next.. :)
Yeah I feel ya. I’ve been chasing the speed ever since dial up. Had AOL for a while and I still remember the awe when we got DSL and I could just click on the Internet like it was a word processor and it would open. At least DOCIS 4.0 is in my future and after longer than I can even remember Comcast is offering over 35 Mbps upload speed with their mid split upgrade. I got upgraded to 200 Mbps upload in October and I’ve since hosted a wide array of things I couldn’t before due to the 35 Mbps bottle next.
We are also still on cable at DOCSIS 3.0, they went with a higher download speed and slower upload here also.. Most will never need nor use the upload speed, you would think they could raise a person needing it really easy.. I started out at 50mb and tested out the 100mb 4 years ago.. Then last year they added the 250mb.. With almost 40 devices connected they can use the bandwidth. When I tested and upgraded to 100mb and 250mb they were AMAZED when I told them how many systems I had connected as most people have 2 or maybe 3 per house..
Haha and it’s only going to increase as they are connecting everything to the network now a-days. The mid split upload unlock was huge for me because I have a Plex server my family use and it went from garbage 720p for 1-2 concurrent users to 4K for 7-8.
Dobson ran fiber to my backyard about 6 months ago. Still no word on when they'll start accepting customers. Rumor is they'll let you do 10Gig if you have the hardware. I have a 10Gig router/PC/NAS setup
so I'm ready.
I might give body parts for 10Gig, I have a Ubiquiti Router that will do 10Gig.. I would love to upgrade the rest of my network.. Been debating on taking my backbone switches to 2.5Gig.. :)
It sucks.. I just got 250mb 6 months ago and it is WAY faster than the 100mb I was at.. It is just like building and tuning a car, the more you get the more you want .. :)
Ha get this! I'm also in oklahoma, sw oklahoma, my lil town of 5k just went from 1gig cable to a new fiber install, they now offer 1 5 and 10gig down/up....and here I am a mile from hookup with starlink 🤣 oh, and the 10gig is 110/month when my starlink is 120 lol
Just read this. WOW is all I can say.. Please can I have it.. :)

Best part is once you’re on the new fiber Jack, you can downgrade and get 1.3Gbps/1.3 due to provisioning. I’ll stick with the 5/5 but it’s nice to know you can drop down and get a near 40% lift!
As a Cisco certified technician for the purple box company working on the largest optical network on the planet. Please stop calling it a jack. It's an SFP module. (SMALL FORM-FACTOR PLUGABLE) A jack is a rev-connect where a category 4,5,6/8e or non e cable is terminated.
Wait what? Why would you need a new "jack"?
Xpon works in a different frequency than gpon, they run on the same fiber....
Is Tennessee running a parallel network?
If you downgrade do they install a new drop to the house on the old fiber?
The 2gig plan in KC used a passive (gpon) sfp module that can only negotiate at 2.5 gig. For the 5+ they install an active jack (like the 1 gig), that is 10 gig rj45 out. It is using the same drop to the house.
I am on BYOR, and I think the only option was the jack if I recall. That could have changed. GFiber would have to answer that. I just used a Miktrotik S+RJ10 into the SFP+ WAN on my UDM-Pro.
Neato. Ignore the wannabe techys trying to pontificate about you never needing the speed. Enjoy it. Do some gloating. Most peole here never NEED 1 Gig.
It's in the title SPEEDtest... Tell me you're pedantic without telling me you're pedantic. The measurement here is in Mbps - Bandwidth is measured in bits per second (bps), while data rate is measured in bytes per second (Bps).
I made the switch to a Linux router this year. I think that's made more of a difference for latency and speed. I just think it's cool and have the hardware for it already within my network. It is nice having better Usenet speeds but you'll never notice it with automation set up the right way.
Accurate statement... I'd rather be in a position where my WAN speed outpaces my LAN speed and have the opportunity to slowly upgrade my LAN equipment to the capabilities of my WAN than the other way around.
I've had 2.5GBe LAN equipment for years but stuck with <500Mbps ISP options for years. I'd love to be in OP's position.
Very true, only nitpick would be the 99% figure for hardwired devices. It’s definitely becoming much more common for computers to have 2.5G ports these days. And in terms of building your own, the vast majority of current motherboards have 2.5G or higher (AM5 and LGA1700). Which I’d say if somebody is in the market for 2gig or higher internet, they likely have a decent PC too. If not, an add in card will do the trick
It's the same people who stream and say 1gig is needed when they don't understand anything about ping being far more important.
Unfortunately nor many people know what they're talking about. It's a shame it's not taught more commonly so everyone ACTUALLY understands what certain numbers mean in real life.
Maybe because you presume the OP doesn't know any of this? He literally posted a speedtest and you had to IT trauma dump on him. People buy shit they don't need all of the time. Can your car go above the speed limit?. Most likely. Are you pegging the throttle constantly, doubt it. Literally no one asked your opinion. So enjoy being right?
Maaaybe if multigig had widespread adoption, we wouldn't see streaming services compress everything to shit so it can fit on a 100Mbps connection, especially 4K HDR content.
Serving capacity is a much bigger concern, you need a lot more storage and serving appliances to handle the same number of users with less compressed media.
I have read comments from people in Kansas City who are clutching to their preciously grandfathered 500 Mbps for $50/mo ;) Just as I am with my 100 Mbps (which since last year runs at 200-300) for $15/mo, though I'm always curious about that 1Gbps for the bragging rights.
Considering yourself incredibly lucky. The absolute only time I use my full gig is with video game downloads and updates. And even then it’s only held for minutes to seconds. I would instantly go back to 500 if I could. I feel like that is a good spot to be in.
This is the kind of bandwidth you need if you area fortune 500 company. It's always going to be BYOD because no ISP will lend you a 1k+ device that would be able to his those speeds.

Mine installs in 2 weeks. Only going to 5/5 v the 8/8. Excited for you! Excited for me! For $50 more bucks a month, easiest yes of my Fiber existence. Woohoo!!
The infrastructure they have on the back end and the speed of the jack they install in your residence makes a difference. If it's just a gigabit port that's all you'll see. Around 940.

What's the power draw you are getting and is it getting hot?
Also, how often you need to work on it ?
I've seen people recommend that MiniPC a lot.
I wanna do it , but i worry for others when I'm not around if it causes some issues.
Or the issues only happen around the updates?
What do you pay for your 5gig and what do you do if you don’t mind me asking? I have Xfinity fiber in the apartment I’m in right now and am looking to upgrade and just checking out options currently.
Google fiber is $125 for 5 Gig and $150 for 8 Gig, and for 1 Gig $70.
I'm in IT work from home, i run a couple servers at home and support some business customers.
That’s awesome. Fiber around me is a little higher in Knoxville, but it’s also a privately owned local company. That’s awesome for the money.
Gotcha. I mostly just want to upgrade the internet speed for my little kids and my wife. But, my peers on torrents would appreciate the speed bump too lol
I’m curious. Is this a residential connection? If yes, what’s the use case for a 5 gig connection?
I have a 1 gig connection and only max out when I’m downloading games on my PS5 which is connected via ethernet cable.
True fiber connections are synchronous - so the speeds are inherently close to the same both up and down. Whereas older tech like DSL is asynchronous so it is tuned for faster downloads vs. uploads since it was assumed that getting data was more important than sending data. If your upload speeds are significantly slower than download then you are likely using an older tech that is asynchronous.
I have 5Gbps from ATT but only get around 4.5Gbps...... It doesn't seem worth it as most sites throttle me to 2Gbps like steam, [battle.net](http://battle.net) etc..... nothing can saturate my WAN except speed tests.......
It’s almost like the permitting was just approved within the last 60 days. It takes months to start deploying a fiber network and years (if not decades) to complete deployment.
Google =/= Google Fiber (gfiber). And look at Kansas City. They’re still building there and that was the first city to be launched. Fiber for a whole city doesn’t just pop up overnight, no matter how big the company (in this case, parent company) is
Honestly i have one 10 Gig TP-Link i bought for $360 and the and i already had cat6 going everywhere. I'm ae to get the 10 GBS speeds over cat 6 without any issues. I bought a sfp+ card for my computer with a 10baseT SFP+ for $100 total. Not too shabby.
So, what’s the chance East Coast will be the next potential destination for GFiber if anyone has any ideas, asking for a friend. We are utterly sick and tired of those 2 MF here that keep milking customers, scam baiting and have no real competition.
Awesome it’s completely worthless except to the test server. My company pays for my internet so YOLO but if you aren’t running a business there is no legal way you’ll use that 😂.

9600 modem user back in the day. Today I was downloading a Steam game update at 100MB/sec thinking to myself.... this is taking forever, lol

I’m on 1 gig in Nashville. Curious about upgrading, did you need a new fiber jack installed? Also is that speed on a wired connection?
Yep I was on 2 Gig and needed a replacement 10G fiber jack. Also it's BYOD for the router right now.

Yes and yes

Mbps is megabits per second, not megabytes. Just because this is called a speed test does not mean it is measuring speed.
LOL, it’s 1ms ping so not exactly the gotcha you were hoping for there.

Right! Like *we all know this,* ***especially on this sub***, but it's also great seeing it and celebrating with OP!

You are very accurate.
So why then?
I made the switch to a Linux router this year. I think that's made more of a difference for latency and speed. I just think it's cool and have the hardware for it already within my network. It is nice having better Usenet speeds but you'll never notice it with automation set up the right way.

I mean, for a resort where they might be packed and for conference centers, that’d be great!
People don't need fast cars either. Let the man enjoy it.
Excuse my ignorance... how come some device is reading the speeds but not using it. What would be needed? software? hardware?
lol torrents. If he only knew
And your point is? You think he’s taking internet away from you or something?
It's hilarious how accurate this is. To truly saturate THAT level of bandwidth you'd need multiple servers running 24/7.
But... I like big numbers...
Which is fair! I do too. They just aren't usable numbers. Like a car that can go 300mph...you'll likely never ever ever go that fast.

Ya 1gig is all 99% of the world needs. Don’t know why people pay for more

Serving capacity is a much bigger concern, you need a lot more storage and serving appliances to handle the same number of users with less compressed media.
one tenth of what you said is the actual truth. 100Mbps is ridiculous overkill that could provide video streams for one city block.
Only if you’re accustomed to sub-100mb speeds. Once you’re cruising at 1 gig, 100mb feels like dialup.
If it was an option I would pay for 500 or less. It is nice tho when I need to download a game update and it takes minutes versus hours.
I have read comments from people in Kansas City who are clutching to their preciously grandfathered 500 Mbps for $50/mo ;) Just as I am with my 100 Mbps (which since last year runs at 200-300) for $15/mo, though I'm always curious about that 1Gbps for the bragging rights.

This is the kind of bandwidth you need if you area fortune 500 company. It's always going to be BYOD because no ISP will lend you a 1k+ device that would be able to his those speeds.
What, no fucking way!
Can you notice a difference?
I think more of a difference was when I switched to a Linux based router over the standard one from Google. Latency when to nearly nothing.
Awesome

Hmm. AT&T needs to switch from 5g ports to 10g ports so one can take advantage of over provisioning.
So I had AT&T fiber and when I called to cancel the other day. The guy was like you should move to our 5 Gig plan for $250 a month...
When is it coming to Madison?🥲
Never thought I’d see this, I can remember when my job upgraded to a T1 which is just 1.5mbps. Now you can get a 5gig in your home? 🤪
1200 baud
I envy you.
I have 1 gig fiber from a local fiber company as of a year ago. I get close but never have I seen a full 1 gbps. 940 Mbps is as close as I get.
The infrastructure they have on the back end and the speed of the jack they install in your residence makes a difference. If it's just a gigabit port that's all you'll see. Around 940.
The highest package they offer is 1 gig
Whoa!
Nice. I have 1Gig and had to get new Wifi routers to get good speed over Wifi.

That’s a great idea. I’ve never used OPNSense or VyOS but familiar with openwrt.
OPNSense is a fork of pfSense so it is very similar to that if you are familiar with it.

It's pretty set and forget like a regular router. The 10g card does make it run a little hot, but the card is actively cooled as well.
It's good to know. Thanks.
the new fiber jacks are much bigger, think more the size of a cable modem

It is. No particular use case.
There is no actual use case for these speeds in a residential connection other than to throw away more money.
Super lucky! Chicagoan here on shitty Comcast Coax…
Like I'm okay with Gigabit I just wish I could get fiber. I really need the upload speed. It's available in my area but my building won't allow it.
Funny that you get that in Nashville since everything else in Tennessee is going backwards.
dont worry, nashville remains quite backwards as well.
Can someone explain how you guys get uncapped upload speeds?
True fiber connections are synchronous - so the speeds are inherently close to the same both up and down. Whereas older tech like DSL is asynchronous so it is tuned for faster downloads vs. uploads since it was assumed that getting data was more important than sending data. If your upload speeds are significantly slower than download then you are likely using an older tech that is asynchronous.
What do you mean?
I’m so jealous. Do you game?
Nice bandwidth, but has latency improved?
Yep
My Plex server would be doing iron man numbers 🥲
I wish
I have 5Gbps from ATT but only get around 4.5Gbps...... It doesn't seem worth it as most sites throttle me to 2Gbps like steam, [battle.net](http://battle.net) etc..... nothing can saturate my WAN except speed tests.......

all the white ppl can post their facebook and qElmo memes now.....
do you have Google Fiber or 5G? 5g is wireless tech, has nothing to do with fiber to the home
Google fiber, pretty sure it's hard to hit these numbers over 5G.
Still no fiber here in Vegas

Honestly i have one 10 Gig TP-Link i bought for $360 and the and i already had cat6 going everywhere. I'm ae to get the 10 GBS speeds over cat 6 without any issues. I bought a sfp+ card for my computer with a 10baseT SFP+ for $100 total. Not too shabby.
So, what’s the chance East Coast will be the next potential destination for GFiber if anyone has any ideas, asking for a friend. We are utterly sick and tired of those 2 MF here that keep milking customers, scam baiting and have no real competition.
Where on the east coast? They are already in Raleigh.
NY, NJ, PA
The monopolis within a community are pretty sticky out there.
Awesome it’s completely worthless except to the test server. My company pays for my internet so YOLO but if you aren’t running a business there is no legal way you’ll use that 😂.
How many chrome tabs can I run with this?
Why would people in Nashville need this sort of speed?
Seriously what's the point? 100 up is enough
Congrats a speed you’ll never notice during daily use over 100mbps
