Damn son. That's awesome! although those test sizes seem kinda small?

just tried it for shiggles, put me right on?

latency & speed look fine? You sure its a latency problem? Could be the server your playing on, could be pc lag? take a video if possible.

Hell, get the RBR50 and RBS50... then connect a used RAX30 for wifi6 capabilities for the (near by) devices you want to be really fast. Probably get all 3 on the secondary market for like $220.
Bang for your buck.
...Or get the RT-AX82u & have unbelievable speeds in the entire home, (up to 2000 sq ft & 30+ devices), Dual Band WiFi 6, Mesh WiFi, Gaming Port, Adaptive QoS, Port Forwarding, Ai-Protection for under $150?
😅
I can pull over 800 sym. throughout the entire house, and over 600 in the garage/driveway.

You missed the REAL "lowest speeds"... We routinely have drops to below 1 Mbps that last anywhere from a few seconds 'til long enough that the channel loses the connection, OR the Home Internet box crashes. But, it usually only crashes about once per day, so it's better than the first box we had.
And I praised T-Mobile TOO SOON about the miracle... It lasted about 36 HOURS. Between 6:20 and 8 pm last night the network went from the speeds above, back to being where we were BEFORE the improvement... In the last hour, running at 5 minute intervals, the monitor got 4.8, 10.3, 3.3, 0.7, 9.8, 2.3, 28.8, 3.4, 3.8, 5.2 and 5.1 Mbps. So ONE reading over 10 Mbps, 6 of 11 BELOW 5 Mbps. From what I saw on the Internet, an SD TV at 480 P uses around 1.5 Mbps, and one at 720 P is somewhere around 5.5 Mbps. Either way, I'm pretty sure it's more than .7 Mbps, and the 720 P TV is more than all those 3 or 4 Mbps periods. Needless to say there was a LOT of buffering, drop outs, being dumped back to the "Watch Now" screen or the Roku demanding we exit from everything a find a network to connect to.
And YEAH, it's been power cycled - it takes care of that by crashing periodically. How does the Home Internet box handle losing contact with the tower? Does it go looking for somewhere else to connect, sit quietly and wait for the lost tower, or crash and reboot?
Anyhow, for about 2 days it worked well most of the time, and the lows were high enough that browsing, downloads and TVs didn't have any problems. Unfortunately, despite being told very explicitly that the speed improvement WAS PERMANENT, that appears not to be the case.
Wait for some bad weather lol. During/after the hurricane we had here in FL, my T-Mobile service was "down" (other than text messages) for 6½ days. 3 weeks before that I couldn't use my phone at work. had 0 signal. T-Mobile said " there's a known issue, no resolution time given". Its a tough choice because when its good, its pretty damn good. In Tampa, i was pulling over 500-600 mbps on my phone. But when its bad, its bad. Its cellular... its a crap shoot.

Thanks for the reply...
I'm not particularly bothered by the wild fluctuations, as long as the lowest speeds are high enough that everything keeps working. Today, OUR load has been minimal - one computer doing little if anything with Internet data, and one TV at 720p - so basically 1 TV.
Attached (maybe) is the graph from 5 a.m. this morning to 10 pm this evening (not sure where it'll show up, but I uploaded it)...
All night it bounces around like crazy, and at 5 a.m. it jumps from 31 Mbps to 130, then back down to 80. And starts a gradual decline until around 11:00 the lows are below 10 Mbps. And gets worse. Then shortly after noon it goes back up and stays at around 30 Mbps for a while, and around 2 pm, it falls on it's face with a whole BUNCH of values well below 1 Mbps and barely getting into the teens Mbps all the way through 10 pm... So, at LEAST 8 HOURS of miserable performance on a Sunday night. And it looked very much the same most evenings last week. Generally it didn't deteriorate QUITE this early, but once it hit "kids coming home from school" time, it pretty much tanks every day.
We've got three towers the Home Internet uses (according to T-Mobile support). One "has problems" and T-Mobile excluded our gateway from that one (I have no idea HOW they did this, but I was TOLD they did). The tower it's USING (again, according to T-Mobile) is straight South about 2 blocks and I can see it from where the box is. The third one is East and less than 1/4 mile, and again, I can look out the window at it.
Both cell phones act the same way when in 5G. If I turn OFF 5G on the cell phones I get about 180 Mbps at WORST, and generally around 260. This is all using speedtest.net. Unfortunately, the HI box doesn't have the ability to exclude 5G and use LTE. I presume it was the cheapest, simplest device they could come up with to provide at no additional charge. Very little configurability and apparently not smart enough to pick the band/service/whatever that appears to have the most available capacity...
I can live with the wide fluctuations as long as they stay HIGH enough at the worst so the service doesn't get down to the point where it's unusable... I'll try talking to T-Mobile Support again tomorrow, but if this service is going to be this crummy for an extended period, the Home Internet box is going back as we're within the 15-day window through this week.
My buddy has the same T-Mobile box as of current at his apartment.. He averages about 150 mb/s max download and 40 upload.. He lives next tot he airport and should ideally have the best possible outcome since he can throw a rock and hit the tower. It's not the best unfortunately.. There are no guarantees. Oddly enough, I have 5GUC (cell) through T-Mobile and its almost unusable at nights here at home. Well, that may be a bit harsh.. Its usable, just not great.

Small town, south of Minneapolis, MN.
Just started using a 5G T-Mobile Home Internet (Sagemcomm FAST 5688W) gateway a week ago. Speeds seem wildly variable and intermittent extremely low speeds occur daily. Our load is modest with 1 desktop PC, a laptop, 720p tv, and a 480p (SD) tv AT MOST.
I've been intermittently using testmy.net for the last 4-5 days, interval currently set at 10 minutes, download only, to determine when and for how long the slowdowns occur. Is this a reasonable approach? Do I need to set the interval to 5 minutes to more accurately determine the time and duration of the slowdowns?
Honestly with 5G, wide variations in speed will not be addressed as this is to be expected.. its cellular service... similar satellite everything becomes a variable to why speeds fluctuate; weather, location, peak usage times, other interfering devices, etc. There is little, if anything, that they will do for you.

Check that out for example. WIDE spread results are entirely normal unfortunately.

I just thought I'd post something to see if anybody's looking at this forum.
I'm still using AT&T. It serves my needs. I don't ever use but 10% of what's available to me...

Obviously there are still things I want to upgrade Like getting a faster NIC and more memory but it's what I have for now.
Nice setup man!

If your connection is under 50 Mbps (obviously yours is) then QoS might not just help... it might be necessary.
Believe it or not, when I purchased my Asus RT-AX82U router, configured everything & was up and running, my speeds were consistently 500/500. For the life of me I SWORE my ISP screwed up and dropped my tier. Every site, same results..... the most stable 500/500 id evert seen. 😅 I did some google research to see if anyone else had experienced this. in the mean time, I unplugged the main from the router and put it directly to my pc. speeds now were 960/950.😨
So I was like "s**t whys the router so slow.... it was supposed to be a serious gaming router..." Sure enough I found a post where someone stated to "turn off "QOS" & speeds will double!" Surely it couldn't be that easy....? Yes. Yes it was that easy. As soon as i turn off QOS my speeds returned to normal Gigabit, even over Wi-Fi, across the entire home.

I am supposed to be getting 25 Mbps Down and 3 Mbps Up. They told me these would be my minimum speeds. I have only been with HughesNet for a week. I recently had Windstream as well they said I would get Up to 50Mbps down and 12 Mbps up but my average with them was 16 Down and 1.2 Up.
Personally i turned off QOS on my router and it almost doubled my Wi-Fi speeds. As far as overall internet bandwidth, any satellite connection will unfortunately struggle which im sure you are aware.

Going through some old posts & stumbled upon this one.. Would be interesting to see everyone's build! 😊 Post 'em up!
After 5 years I've decided not to purchase a new pc, but rather upgrade my current rig. with the outrageous prices of Pc's today, I found it easier to replace some components than spend gobs of $$$ on a new Pc. Granted, to todays specs.. this rig is (still) outdated. Its not Gen 4 PCIe, it's not DDR5 memory etc.... but for what I use it for now a days....🤷♂️ lol im approaching my 40's is what im saying... 🤣
- Although lightyears behind current parts & speeds, I do have to say, she runs @ or well above 100 FPS on all current games (Fortnite, modern warfare, black ops,forza, beamNG, etc.) , w/ Max/Ultra/Extreme settings!
Pretty happy about that. I failed at getting any decent pics or videos of the rig primarily due to the plexiglass front.. its quite difficult to get anything on camera. In person, she is beautiful though IMHO.

We have an issue on out client, bad speed from us to server in Poland by this provider, i need to check in it
But i found out a solution on speedtest, sorry )
Could you tell u what you have found there that you could not find here???

I would hit that number more then once if the test didn't like to pause for a sec every 20-30%. I hit that number when the test bar didn't pause at all. Idk if the test has issues with the servers or if it is trying to test using multiple files instead of 1 file. If I use Fast or Speedtest I get the same result every time. I think testmy.net needs to update there testing process.
Same. Mine does the same erratic pausing thing as well.
Keep in mind, you cant compare testmy's speed test algorithm with speedtest.net's. testmy shows your real, actual, IRL speeds.. Speedtest.net (ookla) shows your ideal results with overhead via many connections. Ca3le could explain it better if you haven't already read the "TMN vs STN" difference thread.

xs1, when you go to select server, click on multiserver at the bottom and only select the 2 fastest servers by you. Then do a manual 200mb test and retest it a few times. As for upload it doesn't multithread so you can test both servers individually on a 200mb manual test and see what one gives you the best speed.
You are getting close.
😄 I see you've gotten that result once, more than likely an anomaly; I'm satisficed with my result average lol. Plus, im running everything wireless now 🤷♂️

Have you tried a different browser?
Also, Make sure any QoS is disabled in your router

Do you want to upgrade to windows 11, but like me your pc "doesn't qualify" because of various reasons? We have a fix.
My pc missed qualification by a few generations of CPU. Everything else passed. Luckly i found this video! Hope it helps, and remember, as with any OS install, do @ your own risk.
SIDE NOTE! Use a USB drive to do the windows update; Mine failed mid install trying via SSD & almost bricked my system. Luckly, windows recovered.
Total Time: Varies ( 30 min for me)
Difficulty: Moderate
Risk level: Moderate; depends on your PC/OS knowledge;
Watch the video, & if it makes sense to you, I'd strongly recommend.
