Re: Expected internet speed
I’ve been running the speedtest via the telus app which is presumably running it on the router directly and would be the best possible speed. Going to speedtest.net or something else will be affected by your device & wifi etc. Any tests I’ve done (wired or wireless) outside of the telus app are always slower which I think is expected. Not only is it a lot slower than advertised, it’s very inconsistent even though a key advertised feature is that it’s dedicated and not affected by other people on your street.4.3KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Review of Telus 1Gb/s after a couple of weeks….
I just changed from Shaw to telus 1 gig fibre. Shaw was great for me but telus was cheaper and theoretically faster. Unfortunately the wifi speed is constantly lower (450-500) compared to what I had in Shaw (620). Even a wired connection is only 650. A speed test on the modem is 400-900mbps. Very inconsistent and not as fast as advertised.11KViews0likes0CommentsExpected internet speed
I just had 1 gig fibre installed. On a wired connection, I’ve seen 640mbps. On wifi, I can get up to 550mbps sitting in front of the modem with my i7 laptop or iPhone XR. On my previous provider, I would consistently get 640mbps on wifi. If I run a speed test on the modem, I get 400-800mbps. Should I not expect consistent speeds near 1 gig when wired or when doing a test in the modem?4.4KViews0likes4Comments
