Unable to use SamKnows real speed

[chris_k97]

I have a hub 4 in a gig1 area but when I try to use https://www.samknows.com/realspeed/  it tells me I don’t have a compatible router, I am connected to the home network in router mode with no VPN running.

We get the same. Some days it works others we get the error message. Hence we also use two other sites, amazing how they can sometimes give very similar results, other days a vast difference.

Try these two - both work fine and are very close. But just speeds to device

Test speeds at

- or

- try on 2 different browsers - as Chrome sometimes gives odd results.

Verify the ISP is Virgin Media & then give it another try.

I had this problem yesterday my download speeds are all over the place, though a reboot of the hub fixed the issue getting it to work my download speeds are still fluctuating way to much.

But still no data shared.

Show the results from these types of test to get VM's attention.

I would not go by Samknows, it always has been crap even before it was added to the HUB's

Just ran it for first time in ages (VM would blame my PC here), even had the exact opposite where it is double digits in and full speed out.

Then I download a 5GB NBZ at 930-940Mb/s, so which would you go by?

It is their buggy software, it is not working for me today, but it is useless anyway.

Use one of many Speedtest sites or grab an actual file for real life use.
