WFH and just upgraded my WiFi, on checking speeds hoping a tech minded person on this thread can explain how/what have my work done to the (work) computer/network to confuse the tests on the upload speeds, I either get nothing reported of speeds beyond the physical capabilities of the kit/physics? I would have thought these tests were fairly simple based on timing test packets?

Some sort of VPN accelerator that is caching the payload that gets transferred repeatedly?

What test site are you using? fast.com almost always works for me and is lovely and simple.

must be something like that, issue I think persists even with vpn off, fast.com shown below (a nice site), I believe(?) the download is correct having upgraded to 500 MB/s so it is the upload, only an issue if I want to query/complain about average speeds or trouble shoot when things go wrong.
