XR500 Internet Speeds / Latency (Connection)
Hello - I currently have 1 GIG internet thru my ISP. When I run the connection benchmark it will only go to 320 - 400 and that's it and give the internet speed a D. I can't figure out the issue on why it's not getting the full download speed from the modem. When I run a speedtest on speedtest.net it's typically 940/45 with 12 MS. The XR on connection benchmark is 25+ and on my xbox it's 40+. There is a serious issue and i'm not entirely sure on how to fix it or what the exact problem is. Any help would be appreciated.

- Netduma-FraserNetDuma PartnerWe're still improving the results shown by Benchmark so you can ignore that, as you're getting the expected speeds through Speedtest.net it's all working fine.

Would there be a reason why my ping is so high during online gaming - terrible latency.
- Netduma-FraserNetDuma PartnerWhat does the Geo-Filter say the ping is and what does the in game ping say?

Netduma-Fraser Is this still a known issue. When going through a web based speed test I am getting roughly 900/900, but when I use the internal connection testing it is around 450/450. I am running V2.3.2.130
- Netduma-FraserNetDuma PartnerFudien we're still improving the results from Benchmark but don't worry, if the other test is saying 900/900 that is what you will be getting
