After reading another discussion on the site about internet speed, I decided to see if we were really getting the "higher" speed internet that I pay for and we switched to last month.
I did two separate tests, and both gave me similar answers.
When I upgraded the internet to more "high speed" we went from 200 Mbps to 400 mpbs.
The first test that I did said that we were getting about 360 mpbs, the second one as you see says that we are getting 390.
So we aren't getting the full 400, but we are getting pretty darn close to it.
I have no idea if in the grand scheme of things if that is truly high speed internet, but we have three TVS that stream and or play games, as well as my laptop at least one tablet and three cell phones. So it does pretty good, and the upgrade was worth it.
I pay $75.00 a month for 400 Mbps. How does that compare to what you are paying monthly?

We don't have cable.
When we had cable, landline and internet, the internet was sucky and we were paying $400 a month.
We just pay for streaming services now, and still come out ahead compared to what we were doing when we had a bundle.

For it is too expensive for one user. You pay $75 a month for yourself or for other people? My ex office paid around $80. That was normal.

@thislittlepennyearns How do you get internet? I could do without the landline but I must have TV and internet.

@thislittlepennyearns I just give an example. $75 per month is too expensive for a single user. For office use (more than 50 users), $75 is cheap enough. My next-door neighbor (5 persons) only pay around $20 for internet connection. This is just comparison.

I don't understand where you got that this was just for myself.
We have two kids, three TVS connected as I stated in the post.

@yanzalong But I told you in the post that there was 4 people using the internet.
And I can assure you that $20 is not as fast as my internet.

Thats not bad. We are using hotspots from Verizon as it is hard to get a good signal from most companies in the area we live
