We have recently had fibre installed at home and switched to the Slingshot Gigantic fibre service to get the most out of our fibre connection. So after the service was connected, I used Speedtest to see how fast the connection really was. I was disappointed to find it said under 300 Mbps download. Gigantic was advertised as between 700-900Mbps.I contacted Slingshot and went through several hours of turn modem off/on, check wifi is off, check the computers network card, Ethernet cable etc. Before they finally got me to run a linetest program. It said 774.0 Mbps download. Why such a huge discrepancy between speeds? Several weeks have gone by and I have retested with speedtest to find a poultry 239.76 Mbps download. Is speedtest not an accurate way of testing internet speed? I tested on an ethernet cable as I understand you can't get those speeds over wifi. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
