You're dealing with a slow internet connection, which can be frustrating. It sounds like your setup might not be optimized for the speed you're experiencing. Since you mentioned the modem and router are old, upgrading them could help improve performance. Also, consider checking if there are any network settings or interference issues that might affect speeds. If the problem persists, contacting your internet service provider for further assistance would be a good next step.
It seems the numbers are mixed up—maybe he's billed for 100 megabits per second but your test shows 15 megabytes. That would mean the units aren't matching.
It might be the connection between the modem and router or the ethernet cable. You could test another modem or router if possible, and check if it improves things. I just swapped out my own router and noticed a noticeable boost—about 30-40% faster download speed. Good luck!
It's quite quick compared to most locations. Have you ever experienced dial-up before or was it before your era? But honestly, I'm in agreement with Kelvin that you might have mixed up your units. MB/s and Mbps aren't the same thing.
I noticed some of the posts here, but the truth is Spectrum offers cable internet which is usually much quicker than DSL. It seems the original poster might have a genuine problem. The issue could stem from the equipment provided, and they should be able to upgrade from Spectrum. There might also be a signal problem, possibly outside specifications. It's difficult to say for sure. The poster can test the signal by accessing the modem diagnostic page at 192.168.1.100, though not all providers offer this access. Since I'm not a Spectrum customer, I can't confirm if they have it available.
Have him contact Spectrum. The problem might lie in the wiring, but if the modem and router are as outdated as they seem, it could be the cause. Remember, they won't ensure fast wireless connections, so perform a speed test while connected if you haven’t already (though you should have replaced your gear since the beginning). When they replace your equipment, verify the connection at three spots: the device itself, the wall plate or ground block (based on whether you live in an apartment or house), and the tap (which usually involves climbing a pole). After confirming everything works, they should run a speed test with their own meter to measure performance over a real line. If everything checks out, focus on troubleshooting your own gear if issues persist.
