Hello,

I recently updated to gigabit internet connection last month. Everything seems fine but I randomly decided to run the Speedtest by Ookla and I'm getting:

157 mbps download
927 upload.

The odd thing to me is I ran the same speedtest the day I had it installed and I was getting something like 902mbps download with 950 upload.

Is this normal? I just want to be sure I'm getting what I'm paying for every month, I tried downloading a few major files and applications and things still seem fast but like I said I want to be sure I'm getting the most out of it.

Thank you.
 
Solution
No matter what you pay for, you are probably not guaranteed that as a constant rate. They probably use a multiplexer on the line and over-sell the capacity a little. Contact your ISP.
