Cisco real speed samknows results

I have a solid PC & have up to date network drivers Realtek ethernet 2.5gbe 

Just today ive ran cat 8 cables from the router to PC and still getting these results on samknows real speed? Speedtest.net and other speedtest sites show atleast 900mbps download?

Any ideas?

    The PC element of the Realspeed test is performed in the web browser. 

    Does the result differ if run in Firefox vs Edge vs Chrome ?

    real speed to hub is to other servers (if the test is real) the speed test on your device is limited so if Speedtest.net show better the problem is samknows  speed test server for us to test are speed.

    Cat 8 cables are a waste of money. Cat 6 is good enough even for short runs of 10Gb.

  • Hi Kempzo,

    Thank you for your post and welcome to the community. 

    I'm very sorry for any issue with your broadband speed. 

    Have you been able to try via another web browser?
