Author Topic: So apparently downtown San Antonio TX has the worst internet speeds in the U.S.  (Read 2373 times)

My family is in San Antonio, Texas, for today and tomorrow, and for some reason the internet here in downtown san antonio is absolutely terrible. I can't upload images to my Imgur because the upload speed is so bad that the image just stops at 5% into the upload and then gives me a red message saying "image failed to upload".

When I try to run a speedtest on speedtest.net, it thinks i'm in Richardson, Texas, which is really far away, and runs a speedtest from a local server there.
I get this result.


So I tell speedtest to run from a server in San Antonio, since that's where I am, and it won't even complete the speedtest. It starts going really fast, then slows to a crawl and won't finish the upload portion of the speed test.


I have no idea how I was able to coax Imgur into uploading that last image, but I personally consider it a miracle. The internet here is just awful.


I don't know what decent internet is like, I barely get 3 MB here on my lucky days.




How do you have such slow upload speed with god-tier download?

"I went to a place for a few days and connected to stuffty hotel wi-fi, and my internet is really slow! It must be the city's fault!"

Please, we can do without the petty insulting sarcasm and strawman. The hotel I am at has good wifi with a good router, but the speeds are still unbelievably slow. The problem is on the ISP's side of things probably.
