How is this even possible in 2024? I realize Rochester isn’t exactly a major metropolis, but we’re in the middle of town! It’s not like they’re relying on Hughesnet or something.
I would do my impression of a dialup modem but can’t convey those sounds.
Is this the ISP saying “you may experience speeds up to” and then gives you this?
Can you plug in? May be better.
I’m guessing the problem is that the access point in some terrible location or on another floor. When signal first through Sheetrock it loses half its signal strength or 15/16 loss of going through concrete
The problem is more likely the wireless internet provider.
Pretty sure that’s against the Geneva Convention.
I both love and hate that app because it has shown me how absolutely abysmal cellular speeds are at “peak” hours (which recently has expanded to most of the waking hours). Some days the test can’t even progress because the towers (I’m guessing) are so congested with other people trying to enjoy their lunch break. On the other hand, I love seeing the 5G-UW pop up on the phone and getting 2gb download speeds. I don’t see it often enough.
QoS maybe?

Is the signal strength really low?

No. Quite strong in fact. 75% strength according to Mint’s WiFi menu thingie that shows signal strength.
