Upgraded to PureFibre 1.5 Gbps download but speed remains 1 Gbps (and I think I know what I'm doing)
Telus fiber connection is 1500 Mbps down and 1000 Mbps up. Telus modem is a Technicolor FXA5000 and its port 5 is advertised to be capable of 2500 Mbps. I have Plugable USBC-E2500 2.5 Gbps adapter....
DrPacman Thanks for the info. I reached out to the person on the other thread -- via Reddit chat -- who solved the issue on the other thread, but no response so far 😞 So the jury is out on whether this will solve my issue 😞
I did another speed test late yesterday evening, with the same laptop and everything, got significantly better results:
So why do I suddenly get +150 Mbps? Wouldn't this indicate some type of issue on the side of Telus since my equipment has not changed since the previous tests?
Other thoughts: The diagnostic graph from the Telus FXA5000 modem looks suspicious, or? Why? The 1050 Mbps run is obviously artificially cut off at the top of the graph and becomes a straight line. Whereas looking at the upload graph then instead of being a straight line, it's kind of wavy but flat-ish. During the test then the speed test download Mbps does slowly climb and isn't flat. So I'm wondering if the FXA5000 is configured wrong? Why would it be showing the graph only up to 1070 Mbps on the y axis if the modem is capable of a lot more? This seems like the biggest indicator that the Telus equipment is incorrectly provisioned, or? What do you guys think?

The pictures finally started to show, so I was able to see them. I'm guessing that your connection is working about as well as you may expect now... You will probably see the DL speed increase at different time of the day given network traffic etc... looks like you got the full upload speeds as promised by Telus.
Give it a few days to settle in, and see the results then... Cheers...
