Re: What should he have? That was to probably a single server where the test site was the bottleneck. See my experience below... |

| So is this the part where we never see 1000Mbps results, saying that the speedtest sites are the culprit? I will then ask, if the speedtest sites cant even measure it, whats the point in having it !?

| Speedtest.net can register 1 gbit. It can also register 300 (from verizon).
Either the guy tested on a really crappy server, or something doesn't add up... |

I'm surprised he even posted it. I chatted with him on another site and he admitted it was the test server limit so I don't know why he's reporting this. Almost comes across as FUD.
A better realworld test would be to use a download manager that can do multiple streams to various sites. |

| Alright, thanks for that lol. |

I get different results on different servers. There are servers i can't get 1Mb down on my tmobile but switching to a different local server and I'll get 20Mb down. So, speedtest.net can help, but it is by no means 100 percent accurate.

If I read correctly, this was from shared WiFi in an internet cafe. It was "n", so should only be limited by the other users. It said that people from Google configured everything, so the router would have been tweaked as much as possible. |

If you remember back a few years ago, some Speedtest.net servers couldnt handle the charter ultra60 and the comcast 50mbps tier, with being the only way to max it out was to open multiple downloads at once. Now, speedtest servers(which are not paid for by speedtest.net) can handle 100mbps just fine, but I can see some of the smaller servers(and just jump servers if you dont believe me, you get wildly different results due to congestion, limits, and other factors) still not having the space to muster a gigabit connection in full. And in all honesty, 176mbps downstream from a shared connection, and wireless at that is pretty damn good. |

While you cant get 1000mbps to just one server, you can get 100mbps to 10 different servers at the same time.
Also if you are transfering files between a friend who is also on google then you would be able to transfer at 1000 mbps.

The owner has to be running a dual band router with 40mhz channels in the 5ghz space for him to even get 177mbps. It would say it's safe to guess he was the only one using the connection at the time otherwise those results would not even be obtainable. |
