First, you only get down from fast.com not up - so the up/down is a bit suspect there.
Second, this is a more 'real world' test than iperf - if you want to ensure that your NIC is operating at the rated speed I'd imagine you'd have the ability to setup an iperf target and check Layer2/Layer3 transfer speeds/etc. Third, you should really look into that if you are 1 hop away and getting that type of speed. Clearly you deserve better. ;-) 80Mbps result (with comparison link if you don't like that one): http://i.imgur.com/Cnr92Ag.png - of course I'm on a 240Mbps WAN connection: *Last Result:* Download Speed: *236960* kbps (29620 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: *22991* kbps (2873.9 KB/sec transfer rate) Latency: *12* ms Jitter: *2* ms 12/5/2016, 10:57:56 AM (Those results are from my provider in the Tampa Bay area at: speedtest.bhn.net). ~Steven On Mon, Dec 5, 2016 at 10:51 AM, Josh Reynolds <j...@kyneticwifi.com> wrote: > A lot of people have crappy performance to those.
