Wow, I thought they were known for being terrible?  That actually looks really good... assuming it's not like $150 per month or something :)

That's an alright speed, but considering I am supposed to be getting TalkTalk Super Fast Fiber which has an acceptable range of 27 - 38 Mb/s according to technical support its still poor.  I bet if I call them they will direct me to a TalkTalk optimized speed test again and say I have 30 Mb/s.

@multitasker451

shouldn't you get like 1Gbps?

Or is that on WiFi (ping is too good to be wifi)

You can get 1 ms ping on wifi, but yeah that speed is pitiful... my friend's plan is one tenth as fast as google fiber and is getting higher speeds than that:

Think i've won this:

lucky that's fast compared to my sub par verizon internet. supposed to get 7.1 mbps but they constantly throttle it down to 35 kbps until i do a speed test. 

thanks net neutrality

If you think all console gamers are "console peasants" then you dont belong to the pc master race

 

but the fan boys on the other hand...

I just did it again.  Results are different:

Seriously, what's wrong with it?  I thought it was supposed to be gigabit?

If he's wired those speeds would be pretty odd and could perhaps indicate that his device doesn't have a gigabit ethernet nic, the router he's using doesn't have gigabit ports, or that the ethernet cable connecting the device to the router doesn't support gigabit (either a < cat 5 cable or something wrong with the cable).
 
Or perhaps a wiring issue with the ethernet jack where the WAN connection is coming from. I'm not familiar with google's fiber service so I'm not sure if they wire everything with Cat5e, or if they take advantage of existing coax cabling, but assuming everything is wired with ethernet the best way to test if it's an issue with the google fiber connection or not would be to plug the WAN ethernet cable directly into a device that has a gigabit nic and and run a speed test. if that gives gigabit speeds the problem would probably be one of the above.
 
On a wifi connection those results would be pretty typical. In my experience wifi speeds generally range from 20-100 megabit in real world conditions based on distance from the router, sources of wireless interference etc...
 
The second speed test he linked looks like it's most likely on a wifi connection with that 144ms ping...

Fibre in Toronto condo for $45+tax, pretty happy overall. 250 plan is additional $30, but I don't live with anyone so no real point.

You should be happy.  See that little "faster than 98% of Canada".  Yeah, that's not a lie. And PS you're plan is also cheaper than most :)

Hey, you're only 73 ms slower than going to the moon and back; not too shabby! :D
