What is the typical upstream in MB/s in an Apple Retail Store in 2020?

Hey, I was wondering whats the typical upstream in MB/s in an Apple Retail Store in 2020?

Do you guys have any data on that or is there some page to look it up. I always hear upload speeds are so fast in an Apple store. Not living in the US and where I am located now there is no Apple Retail store so I cannot test it myself.

Cheers

I sincerely doubt you’ll ever get a valid answer to this question and I suspect different stores get different speeds.

Why do you ask? I mean, really, why? I read your post but it’s such an odd question to ask.

The only people who’ll be truly be able to answer are employees, and I’m pretty sure they’re under some form of NDA.

This could easily be crowd-sourced - let people run some simple test like https://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ at their local Apple store and post the results. It could be fun.

From home, I get

​

from that website.

And it would be better for everyone to use the same tool - some report in Bytes per second, some in bits per second, some in binary notation, some in decimal notation. Some report the network traffic (which includes network overhead that is often around 10%), and others report the payload traffic without the overhead.

Also, some ISPs allow brief "turbo" modes where speeds much higher than the rated bandwidth can happen for brief periods before throttling back to what you paid for.

Also note that using your own device on the "guest" network might get far lower numbers than running on a display system - the guest network could be throttled. Apple wants you to see how much faster the new systems on display are than the one you have.

I dont think its an odd question. It's just interesting to know. If you have lots of stuff to upload to a Cloud Service and the upload speed is significantly faster in an Apple Store than at home then its worth going there to upload stuff.

Ya, but its not like upload speeds are secretive

You'd be surprised...

It seems like the time that it would take to drive to/from the Apple store would negate any time savings from uploading files at that establishment, rather than at home.

I can say that downloading was nothing spectacular the one time I used it. I had an iPhone replaced there & didn't feel like the person who helped me knew much. I stayed at the store to restore my new phone from my old backup & it took forever, much longer than it would have taken to do it at home. (I left after around 90 minutes, and when I got home wrapped up the rest of the restore very quickly.)
