Is your internet fast enough? How do you feel when the internet is working slowly?

Mine is fast enough. I get about 200 mbps download speeds, works for me. Nothing ever lags or buffers.
 
Hellooouuu? Is your Internet running fast? Yes? You better catch it! Ha ha! :p
 
It depends on how you choose to define the term "fast enough."
For my uses? Absolutely not, unless I am just browsing around.
To be fair, my current connection speed is abysmal, though. 2022 and I am stuck rocking 12/1.5.
 
Just did a speed test....

Maybe you're operating your equipment wrong. ;) :p
Oh, how I wish that were true...
Before I decided to build and set up my own, I was only achieving 9/1.
Now I can say that I am truly taking advantage of every last bit.

I got a good speed, i have cable internet which i hate because its not a dedicated line so if a bunch of people in my area decide to have a big downloading or streaming it will lag mine at times.
I prefer to have like AT&T Fiber when it comes to my area,

Same here, around 6 or 7pm when everyone is online I notice a dip in speeds.
 
Mine is pretty speedy when our connection isn't acting up. I keep my computer files pretty clean and use CCleaner before shutting it down every night, so I'm sure that helps too.

That might help keep your computer going fast but probably doesn't have anything to with internet speeds. :|

Perhaps, but I think clearing your private browsing data every once in a while may help.

I thought your browser storing data helped pages load faster. For example, on a website that you visit often, your browser might saved cached versions of images on the page. If you clear your data constantly, you're having to redownload all the images on that page all the time, thus making things a tad slower and also eating up unnecessary bandwidth.

I dunno though, I am no computer expert :computer:
