    SpeedTest.net will never show you a true internet speed. To understand why TestMy.net gives a a much more realistic indication, read all the tabs here:  https://testmy.net/legit-speed-test.php

    Speed test.net is Flash based. It tends to inflate your speed by 20-30%. Test my.net is HTML based. Much more accurate.

    Hi! Thank you both for your help.
    I solved this issue 2 days ago, I had a problem in my Windows 10 desktop and I investigated it for a few days till I found this:
     
    https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10694244/sending-data-from-windows-is-slow-over-any-network-with-high-latency-but-linux-i
     
    I wrote this on my CMD: netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal
    And it worked!
    Now if I run the test on my desktop pc I have more than 30Mbps and before I had 3. I don't know why Windows was configured in that way.

    Have a nice day and thank you for your time!

    Is your laptop also Windows 10?  I'm trying to differentiate your results.  If you go to https://testmy.net/mysettings you can select an identifier.  Do this on your laptop and desktop to help sort the results.
     
    Unless your problem has been resolved I'm going to guess that this is your laptop...
     
    TestMy.net Test ID : Qdf6F52b4
     
    ... and this is your desktop...
     
    TestMy.net Test ID : otO225XBt
     
    Looks like you're in Buenos Aires, is that correct?
     
    How old is that desktop computer?  Similar in age to the laptop?  Have you seen connection speeds that you'd expect to see using that computer in the past?
     
    You mention antivirus... have you tried disabling all of that stuff to see if maybe that's the thing holding you back?
     
    When all else fails you can try a refresh, reset or restore.  [Please read and understand what you're doing first.]  I would suspect software issues before I'd look to the controller, cables port or router. (based on the info you expertly provided)  Personally, I like to do a complete re-install of windows every 6 months to a year... even if I don't have issues.  As windows takes on some of the changes slated into the future I don't see this being necessary moving forward.  But right now... it still benefits from a fresh install.  Especially if you use that machine a lot.  Windows just becomes a steaming garbage pile after enough use...... again, I don't see this being an issue in the future with the changes windows has in the works.  But we aren't in the future, yet.   ... OSX and linux don't have that issue.  100% of my OSX fleet have never had the OS re-installed.  Some still working perfectly snappy for well over a decade.  My windows machines are constantly being re-installed, otherwise I feel it.
     
    And I'm not anti-windows or pro-mac... in fact I have a big fat bar of black tape covering the glowing Apple logo on the laptop I'm using right now.  I'm just pro-having a computer that works correctly.  Windows has done that for me in the past, Apple does that for me in the present but I have no allegiance to either into the future.  If the SchwettyBalls Pro (or whatever) came out and made my job/life easier I wouldn't care what the name is... as long as it does exactly what I tell it to do better than the others.
     
    Please let us know if this helps.

    Hi there,
     
    I'm a Telecoms Engineer for Wightfibre, based on the Isle of Wight.
     
    We have been rolling out our own fibre optic network for the past two years.
     
    I'm currently testing 10G to my home, which was installed with fibre not long ago.
     
     
     
    This is the fastest test I could do until it told me it was fake! (Rate limiting)

    No problem, this is going to take a little time to fully catch up on all that's written.  You have quite the case here.
     
    Right now (after cleaning out the responses that hughesnet people posted on this topic for some reason) I'm reading into your communication logs with your ISP.
     
    At this part,
     
     
    Uhhhhhh... that person is a moron.  35GB, over 24 hours... off the top of my head, you don't need very much to do that.  Let's do some basic math (a subject apparently unknown to that rep) for fun.
     
    35 * 1024 = 35840 MB
    35840 / 24 = 1493 MB per hour
    1493 / 60 = 25 MB per minute (rounding up)
    25 / 60 = 0.42 MB per second
    0.42 * 8 = 3.36 Mbps consistently is all it takes to push 35 GB per day in bandwidth.  So early on I'm getting an idea of who you're dealing with on the other end.  Frustrating.
     
    ... getting back to it.

    Thank you @Pgoodwin1 for the heads up
     
    @dnjSerran I changed your username.  The issue was with the "&" symbol in your username.  This character is actually disallowed in registration... not sure how it got through so I'm going to have to do a check up on that part of the registration process.
     
    Sorry my response took longer than normal.
     
    If you'd like a different username please let me know what you'd like me to change it to.  I'm happy to help.
     
    What was happening is when you were visiting your stats it was encountering that illegal character... it looks like it was using what it could up to the point of that illegal character.  So you were pulling stats for the member "David" instead of "David & J...".
     
    For your own privacy this username is better anyways.  When I notice usernames that have real people's names I usually contact the member to ask if they'd like it changed.
     
    A reminder for anyone who needs a username change.  Simply send me a private message saying "I'd like to change my username." with the new username.  These requests are usually fulfilled within 24H.

    I eventually got a hold of a supervisor. He reluctantly admitted that with everyone on quarantine and at home streaming Netflix and whatnot, that my area is legitimately out of bandwidth. 
    Once this is all over with, we;ll see if that's true. ?

    That's not surprising. I'm seeing the same at my data-center. They're running several 100Gbit connections, but they also host a bunch of infrastructure for Netflix and Hulu, and they told me that "due to the significant amount of traffic to several of our customers, you may see bandwidth impacts." I got another ticket this week that said they're recarving up their bandwidth to limit those two in particular. Going to be interesting to see how that goes.

    It’s a pain to have to go thru this stuff I know. I suggest you call them instead of emailing. Be polite but persistent. If you don’t get satisfaction from talking to their first level support person, ask to speak to a supervisor. I assume you have some kind of problem ticket number that your emails are posting to.

    To fluctuate between 6 and 18 Mbps... that's pretty heavy.

    I was curious when the multithread test started, ended up being a year earlier than I remember.  June 2013.

    I don’t know what kind of average and stability you should expect at those high speeds. Maybe someone with experience at those type speeds will chime in and comment. There’s a lot of things that have to be perfect to attain near-gigabit speeds.

    No. It’s not normal. You should be getting a pretty consistent speed of 90 - 100 and maybe a little higher

    I noticed that Hughes average upload speed has been consistently slower (0.7 Mbps) since 3/16/2020.  About half of the long running average. 
     

     
    HughesNet upload speed hasn't been this slow since Feb 2017.
     

     
    But even with HughesNet upload averages running at half... you're personally running at less than half of that already low average.
     
    If I had to guess, Hughes is having a hard time with the influx of extra traffic since 3/16/2020.

    Go to The Database pop up above. Select Provider Results and Select Hughes. Select last 100 results. Avg download speed on TestMy is 16.1 Mbps. You can play around with the number of test results to see more history
