¿is there a gigabit internet speed test available to test my new internet connection? they all cap at 350mbit

[bug]

How do i see it? With task manager?

Yup.

You are never going to get figures close to 1 Gbps except with a close by server (<100km), you are wasting your time.

but when I try it myself not with their machines and servers I only get a max of 600mbits at best using google fiber optic servers in los angeles I tried other servers websites and I get less cause their testing system is even more capped.

That's why this happens.

hi I just got century link fiber optic and they showed me they tested internet in my house and it says is 940mbit up and down. but when I try it myself not with their machines and servers I only get a max of 600mbits at best using google fiber optic servers in los angeles I tried other servers websites and I get less cause their testing system is even more capped. Is there someone here from utah with gigabit internet to do a simple speed test of uploading and downloading from like a ftp server I'll set up myself? or is there a public website for testing that is fast and preferably in utah?

Sounds like the problem I often have with my VTel FTTH, when I'm using the router! The solution, was to plug the cat cable that comes straight from the ONT to the PC.

At Speedtest, I of course, often get 946 Mbps for upload. Download is usually around 915 Mbps for some reason.

This is actually a really good point. I have experienced this with slower internet speeds where the CPU on the router simply couldn't handle the traffic. Obviously with older routers, but this definitely could be a thing if the behavior is the same. I noticed this when I started using DD-WRT on my E4200 and noticing how running a speed test would cause the CPU to hit 100% a while back.

Yo guys I get even excess of 1000mbit depending on the server. Wasabi gives me excellent upload speeds when storing disk images and anything. Is even faster than google drive, I don't need speed test no moar.

What did you do to fix it?

 

[Miguel2013]

On Ubuntu when I use the wasabi site to upload to their location buckets I get sometimes 120MB/s then on the same pc same link but on Windows 10 I can't get past 400mbit using the same site.

I used the command netsh int tcp show global to see what I can do but nothing seems to help on Windows 10 so, if I wanna upload big files such as disk images I switch to Ubuntu.

 

[Mussels]

Gigabit (1000Mb/s) equals 125MB/s, so you were rather wrong on your comment of getting faster than gigabit speeds.

Nice that you're getting that fast at all, but yeah i guess your issue lies with windows.

 

[Miguel2013]

I guess I should make a new thread about that cause I rather use windows.

 

[Aquinus]

guess your issue lies with windows.

When in doubt, do a clean install with up to date drivers. Funny how I almost never need to do this with Linux or OS X.

I've had no issues with my connection and windows 10 for the last few builds so it something specific on his end.

I wish I had your experience with Windows. There is a reason why I only use Linux and OS X these days. Mainly because updates don't brick my system.

like what? both my pcs with windows10 have this limitation, is a problem with windows 10 with their http or tcp handling I feel.

No, you probably have something jacked up with your network that you toyed with causing this.

you mean with my network settings on windows 10? cause is not physical, the same link does 1gbit just by going to ubuntu, either my fault or not something in windows 10 must be fixed to increase speed and I'm hoping and waiting someone to tell me.

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
Even local file transfer is faster on linux mint 20

You don't got a network traffic program of some sort to prioritize what applications that using network?

Plus which browser are you testing with because I had issues with some browsers wasn't able to get gigabit speeds so I usually use the Speedtest application from their website and not the Windows store version because it sucks.

My ISP earlier had some issues and still not getting my full gigabit up and down but it's getting better

Actually, gigabit is ~100MB/s in practice, the rest is just tcp/ip overhead.
However, you can see over 100MB/s in the client, if compression is involved.

No... Gigabit (1000Mb) divided by 8 is 125MB

Just because its often not seen, doesn't mean thats now how simple math works.

Something is affecting or slowing down those windows installs, and the only way to know is to compare vs a clean install with no end user software installed. The hardware seems capable, since it can be done in linux despite its age.

I use https://testmy.net/ they can test your upload and download speed. its also very accurate. and when you got your internet they said UP TO 1000mbps. that means most likely youre never going to get much more than 6 or 700 no matter what. but 300 is insanely low. the pic is what i just got on gigabit ethernet through my cable company. but im also downloading forza horizon 4 from the microsoft store and have that allocated as a high priority program. and i run a cat 8 ethernet cable that can handle waaaayyyy more than 1 gigabit.

Yes, but his point is that because of packet overhead, the amount of actual data that can be sent over a 1Gbps connection is less than 1Gbps. There is something like 5% overhead, which brings the actual maximum down to something like 118MBps.

The first thing I would try is updating the network card drivers. I've seen the ones that come with Windows cause issues a bunch of times.

I can now upload to gigabit speeds from windows 10 to the wasabi console server, I installed Opera and Chrome, Firefox on windows 10 limits my upload speed to wasabi to 400mbit, on Ubuntu I used firefox but it worked faster there. Plus I just found out that Chrome is faster loading into memory than those 2 and uses a lot less ram than firefox.

LOL, that sounds like the issue I had with the old-pre-Chromium Opera, with good 'ol Presto-based Opera. The upload speed would be insanely slow with Presto Opera.
