Hey there,

 

I am from Canada and i use Bell's GigaHub 3000 (3000mbps download/upload). I also have a Cat7 cable (supposedly 10,000mbps/s speeds). My motherboard is the Gigabyte AeroG Z690 DDR4 with a 2.5gb Ethernet port on the IO.

When i do speed test on google or Ookla, i only get around 980mbp/s speeds, but on the Hub i get the 3000mbps speeds. 

 

Can someone help me solve my internet issues and get what i pay for?

 

Thank You,

The Hub likely transmits data locally at 3000/mbps, so interdevice data transfers on your LAN will be solid. Ookla is measuring speed provided by your ISP, and having a router that can transmit data at a higher frequency doesnt equate to faster internet speeds. 

Your internet is as fast your internet is, regardless of your home equipment. 

An aside to that

Sometimes equipment can be underpar and not be up to the transfer speeds that are attempted to push through a network. This likely isnt your issue but can happen.
an additional note is Im wary of CAT ratings on cables both consumer and commercial. Having used a 20k FLUKE Tester, Ive found most cables dont live up to their claimed rating.

Because the GigaHub/HomeHub 3000 only has 1000Mbps (1Gbps) ports, don't you love when they sell you something you cannot make full use of 🙂

Bell sells 3Gbps internet plans but only provides equipment that can do 1Gbps per port 🙂

The HomeHub 4000 which does have a single 10GBase-T port but, and I remember someone asking before, it cannot do mGig (2.5 and 5) only 1/10G so OP would need a switch with a 10G copper port and then 2.5G downlink ports at a minimum to get close to this in addition to chewing out their ISP and hoping they'll provide the 4000 series model.
