Weird Bug (ISP Related or Router Related)
Hey Guys! I have a weird situation going on with my UDM Pro and my ISP that even I cannot figure it out.
I pay for 100Mbps internet at home with no data capping. I had a TP-Link Archer AX21 Router before running in PPPoE. I would get the expected 100Mbps down and up speeds as usual.
But, recently I figured out how to get my UDM Pro to play ball with my ISP and also posted a guide on how to get PPPoE working in this subreddit. I also have a U7 lite AP as well for Wi-Fi.
Here's the weird part that is going on which I am having a hard time figuring it out.
- Speed Test on Ookla
I get my 100Mbps speeds as expected. Great!
- Fast.com speed test
For some reason when running a speed test on fast.com my download has shot up to 760Mbps and upload at 180Mbps. This is almost 7 times the download speed I am paying for.
What is also weird that the speedtest on my UDM pro also reports my 100Mbps internet as the same.
Considering real-world tests, it varies a lot. When I try to download stuff, my internet is capped at 100Mbps down. When I am uploading a file to one drive or google drive my internet is capped at 100Mbps up.
But, on steam, when I try to download games, some games will download close to a gigabit and some games will follow the 100Mbps cap. Counter Strike 2 downloaded at 900Mbps while left 4 dead 2, cs source downloaded at 100mbps.
I am still trying to figure it out as to why is that happening.
I spoke with my ISP as well to which he did not have an answer for as to why is that happening. And my ISP also confirmed that I am paying for 100mbps internet and I paid for the entire year. So my bills are also cleared there.
Any reason as to why this is happening?
