Sigh...

This has really been pissing me off lately, and I want to get to the bottom of it. Lately, my internet has been super slow. My parents are paying for 10mbps (or higher) for internet, yet I only get 1.5 with a 100+ ping when the server is <50 miles away.

However, if I do the test in Tauranga, I get better internet speeds with only about 150 ping.

This slightly irritates me. I did do these tests at about the same time I posted this. (9:30-9:45 PST) If you can help, please comment below.

 

Note: I did reset my router before these two tests. I also had nothing downloading and only Speedtest running.

Maybe I just need a new router. I can't even connect with my phone to my router (I placed the phone ON TOP of my router).

10Mbps /= 10 MBps

 

Internet is advertised in megabits, not megabytes, confusing yes. 8 megabits = 1 megabyte. So if you have 10Mbps internet, your speeds are on PAR for download/upload, but the ping seems high. I'm guessing if your ping was good before, that something is running in the background eating up your internet.
