• This was with both of us online and me in mid-video-call right now

    Speed tests need to be when your network is quiet. Otherwise you aren't measuring your house to the internet, you're measuring available bandwidth within the house.

    This is why I took multiple measurements and averaged.

  • I know, I just ran it because I was thinking about it and it's why I qualified the test with the notes.

    The others are 'clean' tests. Just now:

    Ping ms 9
    Download Mbps
    86.12
    Upload Mbps
    9.91

  • The biggest reasons to upgrade...

    1. Max upload is 10% of rated download... upload is more of your experience of speed than you realise, especially with video conferencing, etc
    2. Contention is designed to degrades evenly... even if the loop is over subscribed a higher download speed will ensure more of it is available to you when congestion occurs
