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

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

(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

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

So: SAB and Curl agree on the speed.
With the curl speed ... maybe contact your ISP why you don't get 1 Gbps?

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.
