If I use speedtest.net:

Yup i do agree www.speedtest.net is a very good site to test your speed.

There is also the free software BitMeter II (2), that is a small soft that calculate your upload and download time. It can also do some calculations about the hours you use most your internet bandwith, even the dates you have used and give you many data about it. You can find it at: https://codebox.net/pages/bitmeter2

Hope the infos help?

500mb connection on Wifi 6E

My wifi isn't nearly that fast. It's probably these 80 other wifi networks that I can see right now slowing me down a bit.

I'm curious with the increase in video quality etc. what the actual speed increase is in the time it would take to download a new film on an internet connection from 2006, and 2023.

I presume it will be faster, but curious how much.

If you can define what would be an internet connection from 2006 and send me a link to a file, it may be possible that I can test (I have some 3G/4G and some neighboring wireless networks that may or may not fit into "internet connection from 2006").

The typical connection speed in 2006 was supposedly around 1.55mbps

The average movie in 2006 was about 1.2 GB, and it can go as low as 500 Mb. For me, it is about 4 to 6 hours. The exact size would only take me less than 10 seconds in 2023. The average movie in 2023 is about 16 GB, up to 50 GB. As you see, my internet connection in my last post is about one gig down and one gig up. It would take me up to an hour to download a 4k  movie  Within perfect conditions.

Thanks for working this out. It’s interesting to see that the difference for like to like media is not 5 hours to 10 seconds but in fact 5 hours to 1 hour.

Still a huge decrease but nice to know the ‘real world’ increase in speed.

Thanks!

No problem, glad I can help. I've been in the IT industry for about 20 years and remember the good old times, the Dark Ages. LOL.
