internet bandwidth not showing 1g

[trillistjay]

fast dot com shows 980mpbs. sabnzbd internet bandwidth shows 387mbps. I have looked through all the settings and I am not sure where I am going wrong. Other stats below. Any help would be great!

What operating system?

On my 1GigE connection, SAB reports:

Internet Bandwidth 149.3 MB/s (1194.4 Mbps)
Internet Bandwidth 94.8 MB/s (758.4 Mbps)
Internet Bandwidth 104.8 MB/s (838.4 Mbps)

So quite OK, IMHO

[trillistjay]

I am running windows 10.

Do you have IPv6 enabled? Easy check: can you reach https://ipv6.google.com/ ?

[trillistjay]

I cannot. Should it be?

[trillistjay]

IPv6 enabled. Still same. Bandwidth ranges from. 328mbps to 380mbps.

(I asked about IPv6 because it case of weird implementations it can slow down things).

OK, now we're getting technical:

Can you install "curl" from https://curl.se/windows/ . Maybe reboot Windows afterwards (I'm not a Windows person)

Then, on the Windows CMD prompt:

Code: Select all

curl  https://sabnzbd.org/tests/internetspeed/20MB.bin  --output NUL

It will report the speed:

Code: Select all

C:\>curl  https://sabnzbd.org/tests/internetspeed/20MB.bin  --output NUL
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
100 20.0M  100 20.0M    0     0  10.4M      0  0:00:01  0:00:01 --:--:-- 10.4M

C:\>

SO ... 10.4MB/s = about 100 Mbps

What do you get?


EDIT

On my Linux, I'm more a fan of wget. Works on Windows too:

Get it from https://eternallybored.org/misc/wget/

Code: Select all

C:\Temp>wget.exe https://sabnzbd.org/tests/internetspeed/20MB.bin -O NUL

[sander]

100 20.0M 100 20.0M 0 0 23.5M 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 23.6M

So 23.6 MB/s. About the same as SABnzbd reported to you?

Let's what another (big) download reports:

Code: Select all

curl https://releases.ubuntu.com/20.04.3/ubuntu-20.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso --output NUL

[trillistjay]

100 2929M 100 2929M 0 0 32.4M 0 0:01:30 0:01:30 --:--:-- 34.4M

right now sab is saying 41mb/s

[sander]

100 2929M 100 2929M 0 0 32.4M 0 0:01:30 0:01:30 --:--:-- 34.4M

right now sab is saying 41mb/s

So: SAB and Curl agree on the speed.

With the curl speed ... maybe contact your ISP why you don't get 1 Gbps?

[sander]

And ... did you contact your ISP?

ISPs can prioritize speedtest sites over real, normal sites. So if you don't get the contracted speed with real download, talk to your ISP.
