maximehinnekens Posted 6 hours ago CID Share Posted 6 hours ago Hi everyone, Here’s my fastest cross-Atlantic run: 4300 Mbps – I stumbled on this site while digging into ISP speeds worldwide, and suddenly I was #1 on the new members leaderboard—everyone else was way behind. No shade, but this is a speedtest forum, right? What’s weird is that on other public tests I get even higher numbers, almost hitting my ISP’s advertised 8.5 Gbps down / 8 Gbps up. In real-world downloads from high-capacity servers (and on my 10 Gbps Thunderbolt adapter via the Archer BE800), I regularly max out. So… are TestMy.net’s servers capping the results? Does anyone know what the max throughput these servers can handle under ideal conditions? Any insights or similar experiences would be awesome. Thanks, Maxime Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/35208-do-i-have-more-bandwidth-than-the-speedtest-servers-new-record-holder/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pgoodwin1 Posted 3 hours ago CID Share Posted 3 hours ago Two probable reasons for the difference. 1. your other speed test servers were very close to you. 2. the other speed tests filter their test data in a way to look better. I.e. excluding the lowest x percent, excluding intermittent dropouts etc. 4Gbps is very fast.

However, this does not explain the speeds i get when downloading from high-speed hosters/servers is around 5000 mbps (probably the disk writing is the bottleneck in those cases). Would downloading from a multi-connections usenet backbone without writing to disk be a good way to rule out the possible bottleneck of the speedtest server in the test? Or can someone verify what the uplink max is on the speedtest servers used by testmy? Idk why, but I trust my ISP somehow that they aren't lying.

Pgoodwin1 Posted 1 hour ago CID Share Posted 1 hour ago I’ll let CA3LE (the site creator) chime in on this. Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/35208-do-i-have-more-bandwidth-than-the-speedtest-servers-new-record-holder/#findComment-361429 Share on other sites More sharing options...
