There is an FCC WiFi speed test app for smart phones that logs the speed of your connection with the FCC for them to build a more realistic map of the USA for study. It also gives you a good overview of how your connection is performing. I don't know whether you have a smart phone, but you can also find speed test web sites that will perform the same function.

I was very happy a while back. We have fiber to the wall up here, the local ISP installed it all over the town - if you want it, they'll light it up, otherwise it just sits there. We finally dumped our cable internet provider many years ago and got a 25 megabit connection up/down. A couple of years ago my wife was having a problem getting a VPN connection to work, and while trying to troubleshoot it, we learned that they had silently upgraded our connection to 50/50 with no increase in fee!
