ISPs give special preference to speedtest.net, so that their metrics will look better. Which means it rarely reflects actual reality. Theres a good chance this test is closer to the actual speeds you’re getting everywhere but on speedtest.net.
Certainly true in regards to real life use, but it’s a good way to check that there isn’t some issue on my end that’s limiting the speed I am paying for
Fiber to the home is pretty neat. I could actually more than double the speed to 3Gb/s symmetrical for about $14 more per month, but frankly even the current speed is way more than I need. Will probably step it down a bit when my promotional discount ends.

Forgot to mention earlier, Steam is an example of a real world situation where I do actually hit around 1.5 Gb/s down
Steam, well populated torrents, and the Star Citizen patcher are the only things I’ve experienced my full downstream of 1.5Gbps with.
You should run i2p and a Tor relay

Depending on the country, if they don’t give special preference to speedtest.net, they might just block it.
1611Mbps, do you live inside AWS‽

It varies on your location. Also speed test.net is rigged and fully of bullshit
Speedtest.net isn’t rigged, I can exceed the speed I get on it with steam.
10.4 down / 3.13 up
14 down, 1.18 up 🙃
