Internet speed

IOW seems to be running on the slow side for me, not as slow as a month ago, though. Just does not seem to be up to speed. Anybody else? This could be my own problem, among others.

I have a very poor provider, I think, but about all that is available is WiFi, and at best it is crappy, I had a good one for years, but they outpriced me a couple years back, so I now am facing the same problem again, crappy provider and inflated costs

You can also do an OOKLA search for free, and it will tell you what your internet speed is, and that will
tell you if its you or your service

I have frontier and it peaks at 20MBPS, if you're in the same place in the house with the router, step outside, and it drops to half that or less, not what I expected, but, let the buyer beware

Long before that, I had dial-up, anyone here remember that, not much difference, I had Comcast for a long time, then decided to try xfinity, and at the time had a couple of cnc machines in the shop making parts, and the tech started and stopped, but not before he also shutdown a neighbor who also had machines running, so I don't trust them anymore, just sayin
