Question

Last-mile providers often advertise very fast speeds, but users rarely see speeds as high as advertised rates. Search online to find a network speed test and try it from your home, office, mobile device, or dorm. How fast is the network? If you’re able to test from home, what bandwidth rates does your ISP advertise? Does this differ from what you experienced? What factors might account for this discrepancy?

Answer 1

I've tested my internet speed using speed test app on app store from my home . I am getting speed of 6.25mbps on both upload and download as my ISP comway internet advertise speed of 50Mbps. It's different from what ISP was advertising and giving. As there are many factors that can be taken in consideration first of all it's the misunderstanding and loophole in advertising as all the provider advertise it in Mbps but we see speeds in MBps as Mb is for megabits and MB is for megabytes and conversion rate according Mb chart it's 1 byte=8 bits also known as 80/80 measurements. So if you download speed is 50Mbps it will be around 6-7Mbps like in my case. Other factors also depends like your wifi router, cable quality, bandwidth management from ISP, geographical location of your area, distance from ISP's hardware, congestion in network, time of day when using internet, throttling even after unlimited usage, issues from server, place where you've kept your router to your device etc.
