I was getting slow speeds on some downloads so I ran a speedtest through UPC, I could not believe what I was seeing, 85Mbs on my old scientific atlanta router, So I decided to check the speed on the Magnet speedtest website and was getting about the same speed, luckily I also have a bandwidth monitor and was able to see that my speeds never went above the 30Mbs so I knew the results were misleading + my understanding is that the scientific atlanta router cannot achieve above 30Mbs.
I emptied the web browser cache before each test.
While the tests were downloading they seem to start of slow (bandwidth monitor was showing full speed of 30Mbs straight away) then near the end the speed would fly up.
Is anybody else seeing this?
As can be seen in the pictures bellow the bandwidth monitor max never goes above 3.9MBs
