I just downloaded sppedtest.net and here is my results, sitting in my home office near the router.

I have charter internet, using one of their installed routers.

On Wifi
Ping 110 ms Download 7.31 Mbps Upload 2.83 Mbps

On Verizon 4GLTE

Ping 178 ms Download 5.46 Mbps Upload 5.10 Mbps

They both seem fast the me with the 4Glte being faster.

Can someone tell me how these stack up?
You're good although a little slow for 4G. If you get 2mbps down you can do pretty much anything plenty fast.

7.3 on wifi seems slow but your 4g seems about right.

I have to disagree


*Edit
I agree with you after all:
Didn't look at the post close enough and thought it was listed in kbps

Wifi is based on the Internet connect & distance from router. I get less on wifi than my AT&T 3.5G. My iPhone gets about the same as his 4G phone.

Normally my 4G is around 25Mbps DL and between 11 and 15Mbps UP, but for the last fifteen minutes it has been closer to his. I think Big Red is having some issues right now...

I realize that, but its still slow for wifi. Unless its some "free" business wifi. There's no reason for wifi at home to be that slow.

My max speed is a little over 3mbps with cable. I run a ps3, laptop, & 3 iPhones no problem.

I understand 4G is usually faster but I was responding to his 5mbps. My iPhone gets that & more.

That's bad. Like I hope you aren't paying for that bad.

It does the job. I have a friend with Charter. I think people get caught up in the speed & go for overkill.

I know - I was comparing to the 4G I get --> this portion of his post:

I was thinking that if my 4G just dipped significantly in an area that I usually have great connection/speed, VZW could be having some issues, possibly contributing to his low speed.

Forgive the lack of clarity.
