Speedtest strange results
Since updating to the latest FW (V1.0.4.68_10.1.75) I am getting very slow speeds using the built in speedtest. Last one was 132 down and 16 up. im on Virgin 500 and have always got 190-260 down and...
The built in speedtest through the app doesn't always pick the best server to test off.
With you getting the speeds you expect from your wireless/wired devices, I wouldn't worry about it.
Thanks, i am expecting an upgrade to 600Mb and used to be able to rely on the internal speedtest as you can't rely on WiFi speeds. It now appears the internal test is useless.
I've never trusted it over 400mbps speeds for accurate reporting because I'm on gigabit and rarely see it get anywhere close to gigabit.
My hardwired device have no issue (if I'm on a proper test server)
