Hey everyone,
We recently switched over to the Rogers gigabit service and I am having a weird situation while testing speed of this Hitron modem/router. This is all performed using a Cat6 ethernet cable, Windows 10, disabled wifi on a GL552VW laptop on a Firefox browser in incognito. All servers used for the speed test are manually selected nearest to me. So:
- Rogers.com/speedtest is the only one which shows a value close to what I am paying for, speed test: +900Mbps
- Netflix's Fast.com speedtest shows ~300Mbps but for some weird reason, if I do the test , immediately switch to another tab, come back after 30 seconds, Fast.com shows speed results anywhere between 800Mbps-1Gbps
- Using Google's speed test, Speedtest.net (by Ookla), Bell Canada's speed test, and DSLReport's speed test, they all always show results between 240-290Mbps
I do not know who to believe or what speeds we are actually receiving. Only Rogers' speed test shows results in line with gigabit service but every other speed test company shows a value of 250-300Mbps
Also, when I perform all the speed tests using Chrome browser in incognito (with all extensions disabled), speed test results are between 260-450Mbps, even the Rogers.com that goes up to 950 when on Firefox... Why is the speed limited while on Chrome?
