Speed Tests With Fibre To The Premises - Caution Needed

pintosal
4: Newbie

Having recently switched to Gigafast I tested my speed. But I found that I was measuring significantly different download and upload speeds on my Gigafast connection. The tests were showing download 900 vs 120 upload.

When using speed testing sites, eg google's fiber (us spell) or ookla. you can select the site, eg Vodafone Bracknell.

For regular VDSL, these sites are consistent.

However, with high speed fibre, eg Gigafast, some testing sites appear to throttle the upload speed.

So, with VF and some others I was getting the ~900 download and ~120 upload.

However, with some others I was getting the full 900/900.

Moral of the story: Try different sites if the upload (or download) speeds seems slow.
