When I got my install done last week, the installation tech did some tests with his laptop & phone, showing over 300Mbps both down & up. (I have 300 package)
I couldn't switch over right away because I was in the middle of a work day & so finished the day on my wireless ISP (MCSnet). After work I connected a cat6 cable to from the NH20A to my nearest switch, disconnected the MCSnet modem to run my own tests.
On speedtest.net I was over 300 both directions, so I went to my usual speed testing site https://testmy.net and ran some combined tests.
Generally I find testmy.net a little slower than other sites, but the download/upload ratio is usually around the same. For example on speedtest.net I might get around 32 down & 15 up on MCSnet, and on testmy.net I'd consistently get between 25-30 down & 10 up. I was told testmy.net was a more accurate portrayal of real life speeds because it is html5 & php based, and is a more thorough test, and also does not use multithreading by default (it can be turned on)
However with my new fibre, the results are wildly different, showing between 100-150 down and upload is usually in single digits, or even on occasion Kbps they are so slow. I don't know if this is because fibre has just been brought into this area and they are still doing many installs in the area & they have fine tuning to do, issues to iron out etc. - or if it's just how my home LAN is configured.
I also tried another html5 site https://speedsmart.net and got much better results, 241 down & 314 up, but I don't think they upload & download different sized packets like testmy.net does.
speedof.me is also html5 I believe and also uses incrementally larger file sizes until it finds one that takes 8 seconds, and I get much better results from it, but still nowhere near the speeds the Telus tech was getting.
Results: ping, up, down (servers all in Seattle, except for testmy.net latency test, which averages over many different servers)
speedtest.net 5-276-318
speedsmart.net 36-231-276
testmy.net 182-136-442Kbps
speedof.me 39-95-295
