josh123 Posted February 3, 2017 CID Share Posted February 3, 2017 Hi. I am new to the forum and have a question about my internet speed. I just had fiber installed to my home by Telus which is in B.C.. I subscribed to internet 150 Mbps download and 150 upload. On speedtest.net I get around 168 Mbps up and down consistently which seems great. So today I did a speed test on this site (testmy.net) and I am only getting 40 Mbps upload and download now. If this is my true speed is there anything I can do about it ? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pgoodwin1 Posted February 3, 2017 CID Share Posted February 3, 2017 It looks like the test server you were using during testing was in Dallas, which is a long distance from B.C. Try using the San Francisco test server - link at top on right side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh123 Posted February 3, 2017 Author CID Share Posted February 3, 2017 I just did the test again using the San Francisco test server. My download is still only 57.9 Mbps. My upload was 105 Mbps. Even on speedtest.net I ran some more tests and the only ones that are matching my 150 service are the servers very close to me. The further servers tested much slower also.
