@Thayer fast.com is generally regarded as one of the more unreliable. I think it tends to read faster than it should
Having said that - I'm getting the same kind of result from speedtest.net and fast.com right now.

@markwalker that's handy to know... thanks! They all seem so different! Getting 300-800 on speedtest, getting 1000 on fast.com and 1100 on realspeed. I'm testing a 1gb connection.
@Thayer You testing via cable or wifi? Wifi adds a bunch more variables into tests that makes it more difficult
@markwalker don't even get me started on wifi, having all sorts of drop out from my mesh placements and device capabilities ahaha
@Thayer 😂 You've got me looking at my network now as I'm only getting 90Mb on my 500Mb line out on the AP I'm on even with the GbE connection to the router.
This is why I try to default to "does it work" network management. If it's working, you're probably ok 😆
@markwalker my issue is a household full of gamers. So speed, ping and uptime is a big deal. And all of my therapy work is over video, so making sure I have a rock solid connection speed is super important... just as someone has a breakthrough... OHAI DOWNTIME.. never happened yet but can you imagine.
@Thayer Yeah that makes sense!
And I've found a slow link in my network! Really hope it's not a bad cable as it's sealed in place 😬
