How are the results calculated? To calculate your Internet speed, FAST.com performs a series of downloads from and uploads to Netflix servers and calculates the maximum speed your Internet connection can provide. More details are in our blog post.

What can I do if I'm not getting the speed I pay for? If results from FAST.com and other internet speed tests (like dslreports.com or speedtest.net) often show less speed than you have paid for, you can ask your ISP about the results.

I called the ISP but all they could say was, without connecting a portable device to the router with a Ethernet cable and running the speedtest, that 3:30PM is considered peak time, so in my area that's the maximum I could get during peak hours. Reading reviews of other users on this internet plan, however, I should be getting around 900 Mbps even during peak hours...

The speed test function in the nighthawk app will often use the router itself as the client device, thus you are measuring the speed of the WAN connection to the router, and not the speed of the connection to your smartphone or other devices behind the router.

When I run the speed test on Speedtest app (not browser), I get about 700Mbps when I'm in the same room as the router and drops to 400-500Mbps in my bedroom. But for some reason the speed test within the Nighthawk app always clocks 900+ Mbps, no matter which room I'm in or what time of the day it is. It's like the Nighthawk speed test is measuring the speed when a device is connected with an Ethernet cable to Nighthawk.

That's what I suspected. So instead of connecting my device with an Ethernet cable to the router to measure the speed, as often ISPs tell you to do, I can just run the speedtest on Nighthawk app to see the maximum speed I'm getting.

Pretty much, though there are things I have not had a chance to personally rest due to a lack of a fast enough connection. Since the router is using its own CPU to run the speed test application, i am unsure of if it will have a CPU bottlenecks if attempting to perform a speed test on a faster connection such as a 2Gbps connection. Beyond that,it shouldn't have much trouble with a 1 gigabit connection.

He thinks they're the same speeds and it doesn't matter whether we press X (ramming speed) or Square (travel speed) because the ship travels the same speed either way. He says ramming speed is only used in combat mode because you can't use travel speed in combat mode.

I think ramming speed is slightly faster since even your sea mates say they need rest and the player also says to go faster. So obviously wouldn't the ramming speed be faster than travel speed? If they're the same why even have that option there?

For a couple of years our upload and download speed was consistently 120-125 meg up and down - never varied much at all, never had an outage, never noticed a speed issue at all. (We have Fiber 100). In Dec 2018, after noticing some streaming pixelation, I run a test and find download speed would limit to about 48-50 while the upload speed would get the 120+, but in a much more unstable manner -- very bursty -- very unlike the usual ATT fiber consistency we've enjoyed for a few years.

Plugged directly into our seperate Wifi router (Netgear Nighthawk). From the router, the speed was 1/2 down, full up. I then plug into the ATT box, 100% up and down -- so it must be MY router and not ATT....

By dumb luck I reset the new Wifi modem, installed it again and everything was 100%. I happened to be watching it when the IP address of the Netgear Wifi router changed from a private IP to a public IP address -- the ATT box passed the public IP into the LAN. As soon as it switch, the download speed dropped to 50% of normal. It seems that switch happens automatically during the night -- and several hours after everything boots up and runs at 100% for a good while.

So I go into the ATT box, go to LAN DHCP settings, and tell it to force a private IP address for the Netgear box. Won't work because the Netgear modem was in the DMZ -- and has been for years. I take it out of the DMZ and artificially recreate the DMZ by forwarding all ports 1-65535 to the Netgear router. One by one I get messages saying one of the ports I was forwarding was reserved by ATT. I start excluding the ports, about 10 in all, around the 51000 zone (thinking all along this can't be the solution as I've never touched these settings). When I am done, the ATT box will, for the 1st time, allow me to force a private IP address for the Netgear Wifi router.... And it's been about 30 days of flawless operation every since -- rock steady speed, up and down.

That is interesting. Since once computer works and this one is showing slower download speeds, it sounds like the issue may be isolated to this computer. Try testing the computer in safe mode to see if you notice a different in speeds. If so, try disabling some applications or even the virus scanner on your computer to see if that may be causing the issue. If it is still slow, try connecting hard wired if it is not already. Also, if possible, try moving and connecting the computer at the location that is getting a good speed. If the speed improves, then there might be something with the wiring or the area that is causing the slower download speeds. Let us know how it goes.

The speeds are a whole lot variable in Internet as many people are using and unless we have Quality of Service or service guarantee with MPLS networks like in enterprise or corporate networks, ATT Fiber residential are still best effort. I see a consistent 600 Mbps speed and i am more than happy. It is like a road though one can go at 120 mph if there are no cars, we can mostly go at 60-80 mph. At rush hours it is even slower. The HOV lanes and toll based HOV lines try to give some guarantee, but no absolute guarantee in life. Even routers and switches along the way get congested and TCP/IP protocol by nature is a 40 year old protocol.

I hope you're still out there. I have the same problem you experienced, AT&T Fiber 1000 with slow download (100-205mbps) and 2X, 3X, 4X upload vs dowload speeds while connected via ethernet. Wifi is equally horrible with sub 300 speeds up or down. I am short smarts about modem or router settings so I don't quite understand what you've done in your fix. I just learned that the DMZ is not just a place I visited in South Korea AND you can foward as many as ALL ports to it!?!?!?! I thought myself to be pretty "tech savvy" and now I am totally ashamed of my ignorance after reading your post. Could you please walk me through your steps in your forcing a private IP address fix?

I have noticed that my wifi router (i.e., modem/router/wifi equipment provided by ISP) offers full speed of the ISP's offered bandwidth plan. Unfortunately, after optimizing wifi settings, the wifi performance of my iap's (iap205 and iap207 and iap275) do NOT match wifi router speeds...

Is this the limitation of the iap207 (200 series)? the iap275 is not any better despite an ethernet connection. I looked up documentation, but could not find any way to test the speed of the wired connection thru the UI. Is there any way to tweak the port settings to optimize for speed?

the speed hasn't improved beyond 140-145Mbps... slight improvement, but it seems like the bottleneck is at the ethernet connection of the iap (???). HOWEVER, the ethernet port on the switch the iap is connected to tests out to full speed (200+Mbps)... this is the same for all iap-207's that i have used (5 different ones).

are you getting near wifi router speeds when you connect direct? this seems like the limitation of the iap device? I understand that it would be half speed for iap to iap w/a wifi backhaul, but shouldn't be with a wired backhaul to router, right?

At my house, in the same room, my Samsung Galaxy S7 will have data rate multiple times faster than my Jetpack AC791L. I'm on the New Verizon Unlimited Plan where the speed will decrease after a certain amount of data but this phenomenon occurs even when we have full speed access. Any ideas?

The reason why the speed drops off is after 15GB (20GB on Above) of data use, speed goes from 4G to 3G speed. This is so customers like myself on a 2GB plan (any fixed data plan really) isn't left with atrocious service by those trying to use wireless data like it's their personal home internet.

Yes you're right about data versus speed however don't advertise "unlimited data stream away" then penalize people for going over a data cap. For "most people" who have a landline internet source I get it for others like myself who live out in the country wireless internet is our only option other than satellite. Don't be mistaken, they can handle the data load and we're all paying for it by the little fees needed just to have a smartphone. I get the times of congestion but they are localized, there are areas that don't see high work loads yet once your cap is met your automatically throttled. Verizon just swapped one thing for another and it made for good marketing.
