Who is right reading my Broadband speed

[skyqkid]

This week had the Fibre 35 installed and running.

Just by curiosity I did a speed test using SpeedTest.net

They give a download speed of between 3Mbps to 21Mbps and upload of betwwen 7BMbps to 9Mbps.

Tried this several times, sometimes higher or the same. But not Between the 25Mbps and 35Mbps.

Yet if I run Skys Broadband check, all is ok

So which do I believe

@skyqkid the two are measuring dufferent things. Sky's test measures the speed the hub is connected to the line. Speedtest.net measures speed at the device which should be up to 92% of the speed of the hub if nothing else is using the connection AND the wifi speed is higher which it often isn't. The only truely reliable Speedtest should be run over ethernetvwith only tgat device connected. The odd 8% is down to network overheads.

The connection speed at the hub will be up to 40Mb/s on a Fibre 35 connection but can be lower if your line is quite long. If you post your Hub's connection stats somebody can tell you what is going on. See Find your Sky Broadband router statistics

@skyqkid 

Wireless is the weakest link and Sky only guarantees the speed to the ONT/router. If you test the speed over a wired ethernet-connected device you'll find everything accordingly correct with the throughput speed after overheads, eg: about 32Mbps downstream.

Unfortunately a Sky Broadband Hub behind an Openreach ONT (FTTP connection) will always show 0 kbps for both Downstream and Upstream
