Broadband Speed Tests
Posted: Tue Apr 18, 2017 4:22 pm
Hi All
A quick one hopefully.
I've been challenged by a broadband speed test (www.speedtest.net) reporting much slower speeds than that of the MikroTik bandwidth test and could do with understanding how it works...
So a bit of background...We have a WISP network running and very nicely infact, to validate speeds i've setup a MikroTik CHR in our datacentre, plenty of resource and bandwidth to act as a bandwidth speed test server; totally separate from the WISP network, just on the internet.
When I run a speed test from a client site on the WISP to the MikroTik CHR I am getting a nice consistent 70Mbps and its barely tickling the CPU of the CHR (lots of resource)...when we run a speedtest using speed www.speedtest.net we are getting 20Mbps...am I missing something?
