When I tested against the same host last night I got around 40Mbps (I
also have 50Mbps), but I'm in Norway, so that doesn't seem so bad. I
tried again right now, and got ~45Mbps.
What do you mean that this is way better than your actual speed? This
_is_ the measured speed to this host :) Do you normally get lower speed
to other hosts?
Your ISP probably doesn't guarantee that you actually get 50Mbps
unless you have a business line, but most likely says "speeds _up to_
50Mbps" or something similar. So that would be normal.
Also try a few online speed tests, like the one at speed.io, and see
what they tell you. Your ISP might also have one.

Yeah, Reco just explained this to me in a different thread. For UDP you
need to specify the target bandwidth, the default is 1Mbps. Use "-b 0"
to set it to unlimited. For earlier versions it needs to be at the end
of the line, don't know about iperf3. See the man page for details.
