Just had full fibre installed yesterday, and I am aware you can't see the up and down load speeds via the router like we used to. Apart from a speed test, how do we see what we are getting? I ask as was told would take a few days to settle and when running speed tests getting from 7mb to 520mb depending on when I do the test.

On GPON your 'sync' rates are always fixed - 2.488 Gbps downstream and 1.244 Gbps upstream.
The ONT is either connected or not connected, these rates do not vary and thus there is nothing to measure and display.

Are you checking speeds via Wi-Fi ? If you can connect a pc/laptop directly to the router via Ethernet then a Speedtest will tell you what speed the router is receiving.
wifi speeds around the home will generally be lower.
I get 930 Mb when connected with Ethernet (Sky Gigafast) but when measuring via Wi-Fi the max I get is around 650 Mb

Im more wanting to know how you check instead of running a test. I ask as I used to have a lot of uses with ADSL and so kept an eye on what the DL/UL was via the router settings. As this is now not there how is the best way to check?
I get about the speed tests etc via Ethernet, but in my house we don't have a laptop, just iPhones and iPad. I do have Xbox wired up via Ethernet so that can do a test but as only on 500mb anyway so is about the same as Wi-Fi.

Think that kind of answers it. Thank you
