Running on Fiber

I am now running off of LUSFiber Internet. We picked out the top tier with its 50 Mbps symmetrical connection1. Of course, after getting it setup, I couldn't help but run some speed tests on it from speedtest.net2:

Jawdropping! ... I thought I was on 50 Mbps symmetrical? Oh well, I'll take it!3 Smiling

I did test the upload speeds by seeding a few dozen torrents at once the combined upload speeds surpass 30 Mbps. People just can't download fast enough from me to saturate the connection. I'm sure that "problem" will be alleviated as more people start getting faster Internet connections in the future.

  1. 1. with 100 Mbps to connections inside the LUS fiber loop
  2. 2. the system seems to want you to pick the Baton Rouge server, but I couldn't get the speeds past 5 Mbps down or up there. The Dallas, TX server, on the other hand...
  3. 3. This definitely is strange, unless that particular server is considered to be within the "100 Mbps" local loop for some reason...
