If you have someone who can help you do caliper testing it's a very cheap and accurate way to measure your BF%.
I bought this last year and it comes with a little booklet on how to properly use it and calculate your BF. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000AN3UB/
Hells yeah. I have the 24 - 70 and 70 - 200 . I just need the 12 - 24 and the holy trinity is completed.
If no luck, you can get it on Amazon.
Amazon (link). Or just get like 7 sets of dice for $10. I believe Mayhem have the same, or very similar, dice for a similar price. If you want to go even cheaper, I'm sure you can get them direct from China via AliExpress or DX.
Check these out:

Is this your modem?
Technically, wouldn't it be more like there in half the time?
>also, how are your skillz?
scratches head Well... ah... I went to your website and it notes not to contact if:
> You're afraid of the Internet.
I am. Also, you add:
>You don't have a laptop
Well, the ones I have now are crap. The one is slower than Congress decided on what to get for lunch, and the other freezes a lot (even when it's warm out). I mean, if you want to get me this laptop here then I am pretty sure* I can overcome my Internet fear thing.
The Gang they Couldn't Catch. Amazon Link
It's the true story of some guys who grew up on the south side and got involved in robbery, eventually making the FBI's most wanted list and pulling off the biggest bank robbery in history (at the time) and getting away with it. Much of it details them growing up in and around Des Moines, details locations like Wakonda golf club, Merle Hay neighborhood, the south-side bottoms, etc.
Less Des Moines but based in Iowa, the Blood Bargain series. Fantasy/Sci-Fi in a post apocalyptic small town Iowa setting.
We have this modem and this router. We replaced lesser models of the same brands just this summer. They are on a shelf in the open in the center of our house on the first floor, not hidden in cabinetry or tucked away in a corner. We have an X-Box, a laptop for the grandchildren, a work laptop and an external hard drive connected to it via Cat 6 cable. Everything that can use 5 ghz uses that band, and everything else uses the 2.4 ghz band.
My laptop, which is on 2.4ghz, right now is blazing along at 49.95/mbps download and 14.41/mbps upload. What makes that even more lovely is that I'm the only one home. No one else is here even using any bandwidth. By this evening when the house is full of Netflix and YouTube users and such, I really don't even like to be online.
In addition to slow speed we have complete signal drops at least three times a week. Sometimes it will come back on its own but sometimes it doesn't cycle the modem and I have to manually reset everything. This isn't new to this modem. It used to happen with the modem before this one and the modem before that one and even back to the modem before that. The problem though, was 10x worse with the modem we had from Mediacom, which is what prompted us to buy our own.
Now, our house is quite old (built in 1899) but as there are a bajillion old houses in Des Moines and in Iowa in general, you would think that Mediacom would know by now if something in the construction of old houses interfered with wifi or cable or something of that nature.
All I know is that it's the same story over and over and over again. We have had Medicacom internet service since the very day it was offered and it has never lived up to the promise. We have had I don't know how many modems, computers, routers, phones, tablets and other devices that use the internet in that time.
Either this house is some kind of signal-jamming device or the speed is just not reaching us.
1.5mbps for $48 a month? You're getting ripped off. I would immediately cancel. I'm at 20mbps for $50 a month through Mediacom, but their modems are total shit, so buy your own
