Hi all,
Recently upgraded to the 1gig internet service and I have some observations and questions surrounding it and wanted to get other's thoughts.
Here are some recent results from various test sites.
Setup:
- Cable: Cat8, 15m
- Network Card: 2.5GbE Realtek PCIe
- Router: Hub5
- CPU: i9-10750K
While I know my speed is generally looking good, particularly when performing real downloads, I have a few questions:
- Why is samknows/realspeed so vastly incorrect? Is it the same for others? I have never seen it go above 300Mbps, yet apparently is the single most important test for Virgin Media when debugging.
- Assuming samknows/realspeed is correct and the router is receiving 1.1Gbps - is there anyway I can get access to that full speed? I've never seen a test go above 900 or a download go above 930ish.
I am directly connected (wired) via the 2.5Gbps port on the Hub5. I have tried Safe mode with Networking and got the same results (to rule out software problems).
Cheers!
