Suddenly slow home internet.
I've had the home internet for a few weeks now and it's been great. Getting speeds of 100 megabytes or more with a fair signal. But tonight the signal is poor and I barely get 10 megabytes a second. ...
You mean 100 Megabits or 100 megabytes? 12Megabytes = 100 Megabits. Download speeds from the browser are most often given in terms of bytes/sec but ISPs provide speed in bits/sec because it looks better :)
If you are getting 100 MegaBYTES/sec that would be 800 Megabits/sec. That’s kick butt!! Almost as fast as Google Fiber’s 1Ggiabit/sec service.
You’ll get the best link speed if your device is as high as possible and away from solid metal surfaces by a few feet (i.e., don’t put this on top or right next to a metal filing cabinet).
