Yes, Speedtest.net by Oookla

When I get home from work I'll try the Fiber test.

The old router was a Verizon unit which was probably close to 5 years old...I don't think I've had FIOS quite 5 years I can't tell you exactly abou the old router because I had to send it back. The new router was supplied by Verizon. The tech who installed everything had to run new ethernet into my house...said the existing coax could stay but wasn't fast enough for gigabit.Before he left he did a speeed test using wireless and ethernet, and seemend to think waht I was seeing was all I could expect. He blamed it all on my computer, wchich is only 3 months old and has an AC-version 802 card in it.

Anyone have FIOS Gigabit internet? -- hookie 11/06/2017 12:36PM

They will never guarantee speed, and their claims are likely only valid -- Baltimore Hokie 11/06/2017 3:16PM

First you need to narrow down the issue.... -- HokieForever 11/06/2017 2:52PM

100 means you are probably limited by some hardware in your house -- hoosnowahokie 11/06/2017 2:07PM

What site are you using to test? Speedtest.net? -- jmanatVT 11/06/2017 1:36PM

It's good they ran the ethernet because he's exactly right -- jmanatVT 11/06/2017 3:38PM

I remembered to run the Google fiber test today -- hookie 11/07/2017 5:08PM

Down still seems low on wifi, but isn't totally unreasonable -- jmanatVT 11/07/2017 11:07PM

I tried some of your ideas... -- hookie 11/08/2017 8:51PM

Make sure your router is broadcasting on 5Ghz, required for AC speeds. -- HokieinTampa 11/06/2017 2:48PM
