Is this a good speed test?

I ran my Internet provider's speed test:

It depends. Is the device connected using a wired Ethernet or wireless Wi-Fi? If Ethernet then the speed should be close to expected speed. If Wi-Fi then it depends upon the capability. If Wi-Fi is it 2.4GHz or 5GHz? Then is it capable of 802.11n, 802.11ac, 802.11ax, or what?

 

[debodun]

Wired Ethernet.

The images kind of implies that you're using your ISP own website to measure your speed. Never do this.
They have all sort of reasons to lie to you, as you pay them for your access.

Always use third party test sites, and compare them to your actual contracted speed. If they're close enough, that's a good test! But if you're far off your theoretical speed, then you (or your ISP) have a problem.

Try downloading and using the Speedtest app

Speedtest apps
Speedtest for Windows: Internet speed test for Windows




Here is an example of running the Speedtest app on My Computer (System Two) with Windows 7 Pro

I use Samknows, it ALSO shows the speed between the Router and your comps
was pleasently surprised that my Wifi6 connection was only 1mb down

I tried Samknows RealSpeed. It is not compatible with my Xfinity gateway.

Comcast probably doesn't care. They are the fourth-largest broadcasting and cable television company worldwide by revenue (behind China Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T). It is the third-largest pay-TV company, the second-largest cable TV company by subscribers, and the largest home Internet service provider in the United States.

I tried again at testmy.net and this was the result:

Is your ISP a cable (such as Comcast) or fiber (ONT) company?

my experience,
1. same specs, fiber ISP runs higher speed. your specs 400. fiber can go 420, while cable may be 380.
2. fiber ISP. down/up load speeds are similar/even. no big difference. but cable ISP can download 380, upload 20-50. i.e. significant difference. (right like your last post)

ISP is cable.
