TomiD Posted November 18, 2018 CID Share Posted November 18, 2018 Been going crazy trying to figure out why the test is so much slower here than everywhere else. I know that here it is a linear test and other sites will skew the numbers/closer servers to beef them up a bit but the difference seems too high for everything to be ok. I've gone through the troubleshooting guides everywhere with no luck. Here are some results from just now. Testmynet GoogleFiber speedtest.net AT&Ts speed test (my ISP) shows 900+ ... lol. So any advice for me or is it time to call my ISP ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pgoodwin1 Posted November 18, 2018 CID Share Posted November 18, 2018 What’s your plan download max advertised as? i noticed on Nov 18, four of your tests were close to 200, and the rest very low. We’re all the tests taken on the same machine? Are you testing via wireless or Ethernet. If wireless, see if things behave the same using Ethernet if you can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomiD Posted November 18, 2018 Author CID Share Posted November 18, 2018 1000 mbps advertised. I am testing via ethernet already, some of the earlier tests may have been over wireless. All tests are being taken on the same machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomiD Posted November 19, 2018 Author CID Share Posted November 19, 2018 Update: I purchased a Thunderport ethernet adapter today and since i plugged that in I have seen dramatic increase in stability and overall speed. I know this isnt an option for some computers but figured I'd let anyone reading know. Still not anywhere near advertised speeds though...

Pgoodwin1 Posted November 19, 2018 CID Share Posted November 19, 2018 That sure helped a lot. I only have a 200/10 Mbps plan, so I don’t know what things make a system reach significantly above what you’re getting now. Your recent plots look a lot like what I see with my system using Spectrum (Time Warner). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
