Hello! Ever since moving into a new house, I’ve haven’t been getting the speeds I’ve expecting. Specifically, videos and websites will fail to load or load extremely slowly most of the time. The odd thing is, when running a speed test (tested using both testmy.net and speedtest.net on Firefox with my laptop wired via ethernet), I’ll get 5 mbs down on the first test, 100 mbs on the second test, then back down to 15…

Another speed test site is https://testmy.net The site claims superior accuracy (which I can’t confirm but probably someone here can evaluate one way or the other). The site offers a number of test options and other amenities. I’ll have to try these other sites to see how they compare.

T-Mobile – 5G WI-FI decently priced… If it only worked! Below I’ll post my results from a few hours of a test I did today using Testmy.net. This is an every day occurrence. You could be watching a YouTube video at a nice 1080p60, but then it’ll switch to buffering for about 5-15 minutes on average. Or you can watch it on 144p or 240p “with some buffering”. The longest downtime was for about 45 minutes to date.

Go to testmy.net and test it, what are the scores there?

Superloop: straight away I was hit with high latency, speed consistency issues.

Using testmy.net I’m constantly hitting spikes of 3000ms.

You’re more than likely eating tons of packet loss. You can test easily at https://packetlosstest.com/. As others have said try https://testmy.net/ for speed tests. You’ll get a much clearer picture of actual speeds. ISP often prioritize speedtest.net and other ones as well to bloat the numbers.

I like to use “testmy.net” to test speed btw.

It is HG8145V5. If that’s the case, then why would the Tech support rep come to that conclusion? Di ko rin pala namention na I went to my friend’s house and tested the same modem, 400 Mbps din plan niya and it also got the same speedtest result (testmy.net, speedtest by ookla etc.). The tech mentioned something about the modem not being compatible for fiber (or it’s for fiber but my line wasnt, vice versa, I cant…

My neighbor and I have been experiencing highly variable download speeds. I ran a test with testmy.net yesterday using my desktop connected by ethernet to my modem. It goes from about 250 mbps to near 0. I ran another test this morning and it was the same. Any thoughts on what might be the issue?

Also: try an internet speed test on the Switch (connection test under system settings), I doubt you are actually getting 25 mbps. Use a reliable speed test like https://testmy.net/ to see how fast your Internet really is, other speed tests use multi threaded downloads and get priority traffic on ISPs to give you an inflated network speed result.

I have Dishhome Fibernet and two things I love the most about it are affordability and reliable internet speed. I bought 100 Mbps internet at Rs. 800 / month and the speeds at any time on fast.com is 120 Mbps+. It is similar on speedtest.net. On testmy.net which uses internet servers like from Singapore or Florida, it is less but wayy better than other ISPs. It is normally 90 – 95 Mbps there. On ISPs like…

These tests aren’t accurate… Try this site, they actually download random bites and test the speed this way.

I am having issues ever since obtaining spectrum. I pay for the “up to 300MBps” speed plan. My download speed can barely scratch 1MBps according to testmy.net and doing a google speed test. I have the standard modem and router that they provided and have only seen my speeds go above 2 a handful of times. I have witnessed it go above 30MBps but only 1 time in the past.

Use testmy.net to see the speed its more consistant and fast.com makes your speed looks bad :).

One device connected to the router/modem. Tbh is a nice speed is showing but at the time to stream to twitch thats when everything goes wrong also try to testmy.net since is one the best speed test that I have try.

I have a Dell 5530 supplied by my work, built by our desktop guys (I’m in network/server support). At home, I’ve had 900MB FTTP installed, and after some issues with the speeds anyway, I’ve now discovered that running any speedtest (testmy.net, speedtest.net, fast.com, etc) on the 5530 shows the speeds reversed, i.e. I’m getting 100MB download and 800MB+ upload, and it’s only on the laptop, all other devices show…

Please use something that actually uploads and downloads packets like Testmy.net. ISP-recommended speed tests (like those provided by Ookla) are notoriously unreliable and inaccurate.

You can try https://testmy.net/ to see if the results are the same.

Tested my download speed at fast.com and testmy.net, both show me that my download speed is 200-300 Mbps, but when I try downloading any file in my PC’s browser (Edge) or from my phone’s browser (Chrome) it goes down to 100Kbps or less, and when I try downloading something from an app store like Microsoft Store or Play Store I can download a 100MB app in less than a minute. How can I solve this? Are the browsers…

Whenever I consume 20gb per day, my ISP throttles the speed down to 1mbps, except on social media apps (tiktok, playstore, facebook, etc…) is there any method to trick the ISP into thinking the data is coming from those apps instead of lets say steam, youtube? I tried using a VPN, it doesn’t work. Oookla speedtest and fast.com shows the full speed, while testmy.net shows 1mbps (120kb/s) which is the true speed.
