Internet speed question

I'm suppose to be getting Internet 100 mbps speed

I got speeds of 34.2 download
7.9 upload does this sound right ?

You might want to reset your router. Unplug the power cord from the wall, wait 15 seconds and plug it back in. That will update the router's firmware plus it will clear out junk data which has been accumulating inside your router which can slow the speed down. Also, if your router is old then that can be the problem as well.

I heard somewhere on the news last night, can't recall where, that there was some kind of problem with servers on the east coast and that many did not have internet service, some was slow and some glitchy. I had reset my server to no avail before I heard that. Was glad I did because I was about to call my internet provider (and most likely hear the same information I heard on the news).

Right now mine shows 219.54 Mbps download & 21.55 Mbps upload.

I have no idea what it's suppose to be. LOL!!!

Yeah, I have to delete spam c*ap 2-3 times a day any more. I spend half the day 'select all' and 'delete' on junk. I ought to have the cleanest machine in the world. No history and cookies here ! LOL

@SharkE That's pretty slow.

Take the test 3xs on different internet speed websites and/or apps.

If the the #s are around the same, use the highest as your real/average upload & download speeds. Also when posting internet speeds you should give the complete one. Not all end w/Mpbs. Also, double check to make sure the test is being done near the state or town you live in. That can also affect the "test" speed(s). Copy paste the results. Here's my "average" speed......

Like you I am getting 100Mbps (for free!).

If the #s are closest to the ones you posted, try the suggestions posted above by the OP. Sometimes restarting your computer helps after refreshing/restarting your router. If on a Mac, check your network settings in System Preferences.

That internet outage occurred yesterday afternoon & affected folks on the east coast. Even though I live on the east coast I was not affected. South Joisey was not affected.
