Been looking for an Airbnb in Japan with fast internet and found this. 814 Mbps?Is this some kind of new high-speed wifi scam?
>>2885168>have gigabit internet>run speed test>shows between 814mbps>put that in listingOP are you retarded? that's pretty normal, I'm in the midwest and 800-900 is what I get on a normal speed test.
>>2885204 That's true for a wired connection, but the Airbnb listing specifically badges it as "Wifi - 814 Mbps." Considering overhead and typical wifi bottlenecks, you'd usually expect real-world speeds to top out around 500 Mbps on a gigabit line.
>>2885222Anon that's just normal speeds for like Wifi 6(6e) or any modern router. I've gotten 800mbps on a speed test from my home router that has 6e to a 1gbps line. >Considering overhead and typical wifi bottlenecks, you'd usually expect real-world speeds to top out around 500 Mbps on a gigabit line.Yeah so read my post again, and see they probably just ran a speed test and marked down the number of whatever it was or what the router said it could go to. WTF are you doing in an airbnb that needs more than 100mbps anyways? Even my largest screenshares with multiple RDP sessions and management consoles up, I might pull ~20mbps.Are you so autistic you can't fathom some non-technical person just did a basic test and wrote down the number they saw on screen?
Honestly, who even needs 814 Mbps at an Airbnb? Only remote workers and hardcore gamers would give a shit. Maybe streamers too, I guess.
Just run the speed test in the official Airbnb app to get the 'Fast Wi-Fi' badge. But yeah, 814 Mbps is total overkill. Pretty much only digital nomads would care about that kind of speed.
I heard some luxury hotel in Abu Dhabi holds the record for the world's fastest hotel wifi at around 1.2 Gbps.
>>2885234>>2885243I digital nomad and work fine on 50/50, I can't imagine needing >150mbps. If I need to DL a big file I'll just start it when I sleep or am out and about in the city
Well, it never hurts to have more speed though.
>>2885272> I NEED HIGHER NUMBER>but anon you only use 10% of it>BUT YEAH WHAT IF THOUnless it's 800mbps for 80 rooms you're fine, even then they most likely have some QoS set up by default so you are never without some internet. Hell even home routers ship with some basic QoS so that one box can't hog the entire WAN link
Where in Japan is this exactly?
>>2885290Near Kyoto.Around the area between Koka and Iga. Showed up when searching for Airbnbs in Kyoto.
>>2885168It's a typo dumbass
>>2885402Where is it? Couldn't find shit. Are you trolling, dumbass?
Did you even look? It shows up right away
Is Japan Airbnb Wi-Fi actually stable enough? Coming back from being out just to find a failed download would ruin my schedule. Legit a bit worried about it.
>>2885780Airbnb doesn't have a standard it's usually just consumer whatever wifi probably the same you have at home if not better.It's fucking Japan you can pay 50 bucks for unlimited 5G as a backup if it's that big a deal
>>2885258The world's fastest internet is in Sweden I think with bredbandbolaget and they put it in an old ladies house. The server in the laundry she uses the heat to dry her laundry It was 10gbit/10gbit or 100gbit/100gbit it's a few years since I knew that news story though
>>2885894Back in 2007, she had a 40Gbps connection—the absolute fastest in the world at the time, downloading an HD movie in like 2 seconds. There were even plans to bump it up to 100Gbps by 2008.But recently, her son downgraded it to only 10Gbps just to save a few bucks on the power bill.
>>2885782I heard most of those "unlimited" tourist SIMs in Japan actually throttle you down to 128kbps if you hit something like 10GB in 3 days. No way in hell I'm traveling back to the ISDN era while on a trip
>>2885904My plan with Nomad never seemed to limit me, besides 10GB is fine in a pinch. Are you one of those retards who when traveling refuses to use wifi and only does their cell service? lol
>>2885721I did look, dumbass
Nobody burns through 10GB in 3 days unless they're binge-watching Netflix or YouTube in high quality outdoors.Besides, what's the point of going to Japan if you're just gonna spend your time watching videos while you're there?
Listing: High-speed Wi-FiReality: Just a home router (5G wireless).This is super common in urban Airbnbs in Japan.The connection gets dogshit slow between 19:00 and 24:00.
>>2885168Multi-gig fiber + a decent router can easily hit 800+ Mbps.
>>2886212Internet/social media addicts justify their hours of video watching each day by calling it “research” on places they want to go. Yknow, instead of just going out and finding stuff on their own they have to watch a bunch of youtube basedfaces telling them about “hidden gems” that every other tourist goes to
>>2886993Thanks for the autobiography.
Airbnb's search system is garbage. You can only search by destination, and the filter only lets you check 'Wi-Fi' in general. Let us filter by 'Fast Wi-Fi' or specific Mbps already, fucking management!
Digital Nomad here, what the FUCK are you guys doing that need that speed. Usually, latency is more the issue than the ISP bandwidth. Like oh no I have to take this one meeting on my phone hotspot because the internet is slow, not a big deal.Multiple remote sessions open+teams meet+maybe a YT video running usually barely breaks 25-30mbps. Been working off 60mbps for the past few months and can't recall a single issue outside having to wait a bit longer to download an *.ova file to test some shit out.
>>2886212Normies are actual retards, one year I shared a room with some friends from the usa. They refused to connect to any and all wifi, even the hotels wifi because "yeah but wut if hacked I don't have nord vpn!". Got slowed to 256kbps and was constantly lost trying to meet up, wouldn't download an e-sim with unlimited 4G speeds either.
>>2887807I hate normalniggers so much it's unreal
People who claim "50Mbps is enough" are always bloggers or lifestyle influencers. No real tech engineer can survive on that. They probably just upload JPEGs and write text all day lmao.
>>2888377Unless you're dealing with constant team daily standups requiring full 1080p for HR karens while also having to take T1 T2 style helldesk requests and screenshare via salesforce+xendesk, yeah 50mbps is plenty. Putty doesn't use shit, RDP just lower the quality to the connection, etc. Most your data should be hosted on the remote server with your laptop simply being the end terminal into that environment where work is secured and processed. If you're unable to complete work on 50mbps you're an edge case or working in a retarded manner. At most you might have some shared folders resync but that should be gmail/onedrive/etc for any professional work, wow set to sync up and go grab a coffee I doubt you're regularly pushing local VMDK/VHD/AutoCAD size files.Never understand what people are doing unless during "work" they also twitch asmongold at 4k60fps while updating steam and downloading some torrents then complaining it's slow for work when teams won't open.
>>2888467>twitch asmongold at 4k60fps while updating steam and downloading some torrentsbased department??
>>2885222Buy new hardware you freakwifi 6 can hit that in good conditionswifi 7 is not even a question
In Japan, getting a stable 30 Mbps on hotel Wi-Fi is rare, let alone 50 Mbps
>>2888947>i am poorthe post
Multi-gigabit internet is pretty standard in Japan for around $45/mo. If you look on Airbnb, it's pretty easy to find places where the Wi-Fi hits 300 to 600 Mbps.
>>2885222most people use the word "wifi" when they actually mean "internet connection", anonget used to it, but also wifi 6e exists
can't write off Airbnb entirely when places like this exist.
>>28901807Gbps upload LmaoIs this the real scam?
>>2885168>>2885222stop overcomplicating this retard the person clearly just ran a speed test on their wifi, got 814 mbps, and put that in the ad
