Reconnected Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 When plugging numbers into the bandwidth fields, why do we enter the bandwidth we pay for and not the actual bandwidth measured from DSL Reports, ect. Isn't the bandwidth we pay for a hypothetical?
Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted December 16, 2015 Netduma Staff Posted December 16, 2015 You should enter the bandwidth you get, not the bandwidth you pay for
bagsta69 Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 a bit less than you actually get to help with bufferbloat.
Reconnected Posted December 16, 2015 Author Posted December 16, 2015 You should enter the bandwidth you get, not the bandwidth you pay for Thought I read in one of the wiki's about using "pay for" numbers. Didn't think that made much sense. Thanks guys!
Zennon Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Thought I read in one of the wiki's about using "pay for" numbers. Didn't think that made much sense. Thanks guys! Yeah I think that need's to be changed.

I think the reason it is put down as the speed you pay for on there is to make sure you're not putting less in (which could potentially cap your speeds)
Reconnected Posted December 17, 2015 Author Posted December 17, 2015 I think the reason it is put down as the speed you pay for on there is to make sure you're not putting less in (which could potentially cap your speeds) It's misleading. The speed I'm paying for is 200/20 and of course the actual is lower than that. Not knowing any better, I took "what you're paying for" literarily and entered those numbers n the bandwidth fields. I'm probably not the only one who's done that either.

Ok, I've edited so it says to change the values afterwards to reflect the actual speeds you get.
dionysus Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 I pay for 240/24 getting good bang for my buck most I've seen on a speed test was 249
