I know this may sound crazy but I just recently got internet in my home. I started with a 60mgbs plan and a Google WiFi mesh setup. Modem is Arris surfboard sb8200.
At 60mgbs and using the Google WiFi app I was seeing very consistent speeds between 65-70 down.
Then came the offer I couldn’t refuse...Gigabit Speed (Xfinity)
Now ever time I do a speed test through the Google app I see speed swings on the download side. I would guess that around 75% of the time it’s showing between 600-650 down but I have seen as high as 803 and as low as 128.
The upload speed stays consistent at 38-39.
I’m not saying I’m necessarily unhappy about this (unless I should be)
I just don’t understand why there was consistency with a 60mgbs plan and no real consistency with a gigabit plan.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
