Wifi Speeds on a gigabyte ISP connection

Curious to know what kinds of download/upload speeds people are getting, if they have gigabyte internet service...

This is testing on-net via (speedtest.xfinity.com):

And this one is using www.dslreports.com/speedtest, with a combination of servers around the east coast:

For both of these, I was connected via WiFI to an RBS50 satellite.

      Oh, bother. The images show up fine for me, but not when I log out. Perhaps image uploads are being moderated/approved before they show up.

       

      At any rate, when I test via speedtest.xfintiy.com (which is on-net, given that I am an Xfinity subscriber), my sample test shows ~588 Mbps down, and ~42 Mbps up.

      The test that I did on dslreports.com (which uses servers that are off the Comcast network), the test got ~415 down, and ~35 up.

        yeah, they are probably moderating them..

        what speed up and down do you pay for?

        thanks
