Google Fiber false speed test results

Rocdivershop — Tue, 31 Jan 2023 21:37:23 GMT

Hello Community,

I currently have Google Fiber. The data speed when first installed was extremely fast. In fact, lightning speed as the YouTube videos plays immediately. It was amazing.

In response, I have been using other 3rd party internet tests to measure the Google Fiber bandwidth. Google Home always represents that the internet speed is blazing. However, the internet speed tests from other sources says otherwise.

Is Google Fiber falsifying bandwidth results? My findings seems to just so.

What are your findings?

Hey @Rocdivershop .

What other speed tests are you using? What are the speed differences between the Google Home app and those other speed tests?

Less than 300 Mbps. Please advise. Thank you.

Thanks @Rocdivershop .

One more question...how are the devices connected that are showing speeds less than what the Google Home app is showing?

Hello Rocdivershop,

Just one quick final check in here since activity has slowed down. We'll be locking the thread in the next 24 hours, but if you still need help, I would be happy to keep it open. If there's more we can do, just let me know.
