How Much Download Speed For Youtube Tv __FULL__
Halima Leisch
A good download speed is at least 100Mbps, and a good upload speed is at least 10 Mbps. With 100Mbps, you can stream movies, attend Zoom meetings, and play games online all on several devices at the same time.
You can calculate your internet speed requirements by considering the common types of activities you do online, the number of people who use your Wi-Fi, and how many Wi-Fi devices you tend to use in your home.
You want fast internet to cover the total number of people and devices that connect to your Wi-Fi. If you live with a roommate, for example, you need enough speed to support each of your own laptops, smartphones, and gaming consoles. You also want bandwidth to support devices that are connected in the background, like smart home tech.
Sometimes a simple restart of your computer, modem, or router is all you need to get your internet speed back to normal. Restarting clears out the bugs of a fatigued machine and sets things back to normal.
Most people use Wi-Fi to get internet on their devices, but you can get slightly faster speeds by plugging your computer directly into your router using an Ethernet cable. That reduces the chance of signal interference and creates a more direct link.
When internet providers advertise internet speeds, they most often refer to download speeds, or what you use to receive data from the internet. Our speed recommendations are given in download speed as well.
But you want faster upload speeds if you do things that require a lot of upload bandwidth. To get faster uploads, sign up for a faster internet plan or get fiber internet, which gives you symmetrical upload and download speeds.
According to data collected from our internet speed test, the national average internet speed is 42.86Mbps. Of course, this average is always changing, and that number might not reflect your internet experience.
Mbps stands for megabits per second. Internet providers use Mbps to measure bandwidth. One megabit is a million bits, each of which is a single unit of data. When your internet speed is 25Mbps, for example, that means your connection is capable of transferring 25 megabits of data per second. The faster your internet connection is, the more data you can get in a given timeframe.
What is FAST.com measuring? FAST.com speed test gives you an estimate of your current Internet speed. You will generally be able to get this speed from leading Internet services, which use globally distributed servers.
Why does FAST.com focus primarily on download speed? Download speed is most relevant for people who are consuming content on the Internet, and we want FAST.com to be a very simple and fast speed test.
How are the results calculated? To calculate your Internet speed, FAST.com performs a series of downloads from and uploads to Netflix servers and calculates the maximum speed your Internet connection can provide. More details are in our blog post.
What can I do if I'm not getting the speed I pay for? If results from FAST.com and other internet speed tests (like dslreports.com or speedtest.net) often show less speed than you have paid for, you can ask your ISP about the results.
I called the ISP but all they could say was, without connecting a portable device to the router with a Ethernet cable and running the speedtest, that 3:30PM is considered peak time, so in my area that's the maximum I could get during peak hours. Reading reviews of other users on this internet plan, however, I should be getting around 900 Mbps even during peak hours...
The speed test function in the nighthawk app will often use the router itself as the client device, thus you are measuring the speed of the WAN connection to the router, and not the speed of the connection to your smartphone or other devices behind the router.
When I run the speed test on Speedtest app (not browser), I get about 700Mbps when I'm in the same room as the router and drops to 400-500Mbps in my bedroom. But for some reason the speed test within the Nighthawk app always clocks 900+ Mbps, no matter which room I'm in or what time of the day it is. It's like the Nighthawk speed test is measuring the speed when a device is connected with an Ethernet cable to Nighthawk.
That's what I suspected. So instead of connecting my device with an Ethernet cable to the router to measure the speed, as often ISPs tell you to do, I can just run the speedtest on Nighthawk app to see the maximum speed I'm getting.
Pretty much, though there are things I have not had a chance to personally rest due to a lack of a fast enough connection. Since the router is using its own CPU to run the speed test application, i am unsure of if it will have a CPU bottlenecks if attempting to perform a speed test on a faster connection such as a 2Gbps connection. Beyond that,it shouldn't have much trouble with a 1 gigabit connection.
I started my arena with a go first team, walked up to silver 4, and then hit the wall, for the last few months I've switched to only target go second teams and climbed through S4 and safely into G1. I've got some better gear and kinda want to lv my speed booster to 60 and see, but if I can't go first well over half the time with the gear I have, it'll be entirely wasted effort. I'd be better off focusing on my biggest weakness atm, which is my defense team. I can still choose my teams and win 90%+ of the time, but I'm getting wrecked on defense so I never advance. Or focus on my UNM Cb team, or Dragon team, or you get it.
Internet speed tested up to 900 Mbps when connected to the router downstairs (1000/50 ISP plan), but only got less 100mbps when connected to the satellite upstairs. Even I got 1.2Gbps connection speed as shown in the Wifi settings on my Fold4, but I still got less than 100 Mbps when tested the internet speed. Also tested on my PS5 (connected using 5Ghz) and NS (connected using 2.4 GHz) which are right next to the satellite, but they both got about 90 Mbps connection speed when connected to the satellite.
I am located in Australia so don't have much flexibility to modify the Wifi settings. Did play around with the above settings a bit, but no matter what I could not get over 100Mpbs speed over the satelite while I could get full speed while connecting to the router. I was thinking of maybe changing the system to AP mode (do not really need all the router functions) to see if it helps....
Done one more testing: disconnected the ethernet, to test the internet speed of the port -> got 100mbps. So it could be that the port was limiting the speed to 100 Mbps, I then tested the speed without the wired backhaul (unsurprisingly the backhaul is "poor" on wireless), but I got more than 300Mpbs from the satellite. So I narrowed down the issue to the switch. Then I tested the port on the switch - > also got about 100mbps, so it could be something wrong with the connection between the switch and the router. But I am not sure why, because I connected both using Cat6 via Orbi's 2.5Gbps port which is supposedly to give the fastest connection speed.
When reported speed is "just slightly under 100Mbps" (not even 1Mbps over 100), the issue is almost always one of the devices having auto-negotiated an Ethernet speed of 100Mbps/full duplex. (Because of overhead, the actual measured speed cannot reach 100.)
It is unfortunate that Netgear does not provide information about what speed the satellite has negotiated. On the router, the web interface, Advanced Tab home page, click on the blue box "Show Statistics" and it will display the speed that each router port has negotiated. In this case, I would expect to see the router report 1000/Full on the port going to the switch.
A useful experiment would be to (temporarily) locate the satellite next to the router and connect their 2.5GB ports with an Ethernet patch cable. I would expect the router to report "2.5G/Full" for the speed and would expect a computer connected to the satellite to report close to 900Mbps.
Orbi Application Speed Test = 1,056 down. On same exact iphone device connected to same Orbi main RBR850 router using Chrome and the Ookla Speedtest is getting 218 down. Notebook book computer is getting around 295 down. Also having lag issues with Notebook computer during Teams calls. I have tried switching between the WPA2 and WPA+WPA2 security protocols, that has not had much impact.
When you run the speedtest in the orbi app, it actually hosts the tests on the main router. So it isn't based on your wifi speeds. When you run it on the speedtest app, it hosts the test on the device the speedtest is being run on. Thats why you see a speed difference.
Thank you for the quick reply. That makes sense how the speeds are different, is my expectation that my devices should be able to have 1,000 down reasonable - especially with the main router wifi having the bandwidth available at 1,000+?
I had to come into the office for a few meetings. I will provide answers to the modem, firmware, satellite questions when I get home this afternoon. Yes, the Team calls lag both on the computer and iPhone, when video off it tends to help and then the audio cutting out is less often. We also get some random buffering during Netflix and YouTubeTV, not near as much as the Teams interruptions but it does happen once or twice during say a 2hr movie. Thanks again for your help.
But problem with that is that its link speed. In practice, throughput (actual speed) tends to be roughly 55-65% of link speed. Some higher quality devices might hit a little above that but not a whole lot. So in practice, you expect around that 600-800mbps if you have an 2x2 AX devices and you're close to the router.
As you can see, good internet speed can mean something different for every household. For instance, if you use your home Wi-Fi for nothing but web browsing and email, you might feel that you have fast internet with only 25 Mbps.
