So my house finally got fibre to the house . Gone from having a 30mb connection to a 1gb connection. My question is if I have a 1gb broadband plan should I be getting fairly close the 1gb speed fairly consistent? So maybe 900mb consistently? So when I first got it for the first few days I was hitting between 800-980mb consistently. But now I only get 500-600 at best throughout the day. I know the old "copper"cable was “up to” 100mb. And you got whatever you got. But with fibre I assumed you would always get pretty close to the advertised speed or am I wrong? Thinking of changing to 500mb as it’s cheaper and I’m technically only getting 500mb now anyway. Tested speeds are wired with cat 6 cable on a laptop.
It may be purely coincidental but once I upgraded to fiber I was behind a cgnat. I wasn’t able to share self hosted services. I was consistently getting only 500-600 Mbps. I had to purchase a static IP from my ISP and from there I was able to achieve 800-900 consistently. Might be an option.
