Jase, can your restart your router and retry that test to the webnx speed test server?

@cbrpilot

Pretty sure that not the issue as battlenet/starcraft updates, windows updates, and Nvidia updates are all coming down at line speed.

im not super concerned, its just ive never seen a speed test to the US over about 25mbps to the US. which considering others with similar speed connections can pull 50+, just odd thats all.

Windows updates will come off an Akamai CDN Node, and I suspect Nvidia will too. So that will be 2 or 3 hops away and come down at line speed.

I have my reasons in terms if asking you to restart it. Just humour me.

@cbrpilot

Just keeps getting better

webx server

others

Tried a few NY servers and they all about the same. Everything else seems good enough for me tho. It's not often i need those speeds but nice to have it when i do, especially if i'm paying for it. Nice improvement on what i was getting.

Thanks. Just trying to make sure we have the full picture here. I don't want to imply that this is anything to do with the router.
Just useful for us to know.
