Here's a SpeedTest result that I think few people can recreate:

 

 

 

 

Before reaching out and calling it a fake, I have to assure you this is an actual Speed Test. It has been performed from the same computer hosting the SpeedTest server (Yes, I run my own Speed Test Server). I do not know why the download isn't that good since it's essentially localhost but the upload is nice. My guess is that since I've stated this server has 10 GbE connectivity to the Internet, it attempts to download a relatively large file (let's say 500 MB) but the file is "downloaded" before it reaches peak speed. The program then takes this as an input (feedback) for the upload test and uploads an even larger file at which point is takes longer to reach peak speed, but still not enough probably. Again this is just a guess so enjoy anyways.. :-)

 

 

UPDATE 1:

Speedtest.net employs an "Anti-Cheat" mechanism. Since I stated that this server has a 10 GbE connection to the Internet, if it sees the Download or Upload result greater that this it does not save the Speed Test and returns a speedtest ID of 0, which means I can't get this little nice image to embed.

 

UPDATE 2:

Yes, I have a Speedtest server in my LAN.

This is as legit as this:

Either it's a fake or you have really shitty network equipment, and really bad excuses

Scroll your map over to Greece, in Europe and look in the North for a server in "Veria" and read me its name.. :-)

I never claimed you didn't host a speedtest server, I claimed that the result was incorrect/fake...

 

Also: I get this result to your server via gigabit: 4757987581.png

The joy of living a few miles outside of a town in Scotland, unable to access that lovely Fibre. Initially I agreed to pay Talk Talk Business £27 inc VAT per month for this slow speeds, but they've managed to trash the deal by increasing the price to £29 + VAT, so now the bill is something like £35 a month.

I'm going to be having a look at swapping due to Talk Talk raising the damn prices again and again despite that not being the deal. It'll mean a cancellation fee, but so be it.

Sadly I've performed speed estimate checks with a load of different ISPs and they all tell me estimated speed is 4-4.5Mb/s. My only option would be to pay for them to put in fibre, which just isn't affordable for me.

Meanwhile three miles down the road my local town can get speeds of 25-30Mb/s.

This is not google fiber, but it's pretty darn close.

 

This is from my university.

Even if you don't get better speeds you can always spend less on your internet.

Some classic adsl 2+ right here

and very good adsl2+ at that. I average 12/1 on my adsl2+ connection and know others that get a lot less.

I remember a certain game that playing over the LAN on Wifi was about 2000 ms of lag... just slightly faster than if the server was on the moon

 

nah

wait, what?  I feel like the ping and downspeed have blended together...

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

that's what it looks like, yeah. The actual speed is 1988 ping and 0.22 download. I remember that connection was ridiculously slow, and had trouble loading Google and not timing out.

oh god... were they bouncing your signal off a server on the moon?

TF? here in Belgium they would charge me 75 EUR/month 250/25 for bisiness fibernet ethernet like thats BS...

 

I wonder if this is Bisiness Ethernet since its 1MS latancy and faster than 99% of your country... than i would absolutely facepalm since thats some fucking cheap price for bisiness ethernet tho...

 

I atually have consumer Ethernet the fibernet (Whoppa) stupit name but i call it Fibernet and they promize me 200Mbps DOWN MAX 12Mbps UP MAX 

 

Whoppa is atually the full package for me wich is Ethernet, Digital TV, HOME PHONE for just a great price here its just 76,99EUR/month

maybe... 

 

I think it was a lack of total bandwith, Once I stopped downloading things it went back to normal levels but it's still really bad.
