So my house finally got fibre to the house . Gone from having a 30mb connection to a 1gb connection. My question is if I have a 1gb broadband plan should I be getting fairly close the 1gb speed fairly consistent? So maybe 900mb consistently? So when I first got it for the first few days I was hitting between 800-980mb consistently. But now I only get 500-600 at best throughout the day. I know the old "copper"cable was “up to” 100mb. And you got whatever you got. But with fibre I assumed you would always get pretty close to the advertised speed or am I wrong? Thinking of changing to 500mb as it’s cheaper and I’m technically only getting 500mb now anyway. Tested speeds are wired with cat 6 cable on a laptop.
I use wifiman.com, it’s a Ubiqity website. Fiber is still “up to” speeds. Like other people have stated there are a lot of variables in the signal. But still should be pretty consistent. But unless you have multiple people gaming at the same time you do not need Gigabit speeds. No media take that much speed. 4K movies only need on average 40Mgb.
