Thank you for the answer

That is the partner we use for speed measurement, so if Fing results are not in line with the ones reported by M-Lab, we definitely have to fix something.We have been in contact with our Speedtest partners, M-Labs. They confirmed that they have recently rolled out an upgraded of their infrastructure & migration of machines to a new platform. This is being done to improve the overall Speedtest performance going forward. By doing this, initially they have cut of the multi-stream download Speedtest that we rely on for our Speedtests. However, they have greatly improved the single stream download Speedtest (previously the single stream download could measure up to 250 Mbps, where now it can measure up to 500+ Mbps). With speeds above this, the measured speed reported will be lower than before, due to the single stream limits.
To note for Fingbox users: this will also affect Fingbox Speedtests. We have released a new firmware version for the Fingbox which will allow single stream download to work again, firmware version 1.14.13 and onwards. If you have not yet received the new release, please power-cycle the Fingbox, this will automatically update the firmware on the Fingbox.
M-Labs are working on re-introducing the mutli speed download speedtest, to include it again in the future. Currently, we have no time-frame on when this will be re-introduced. Unfortunately at this stage, there is no further steps we can take to expedite this process.

Hello, I just did 3 different tests with the site I usually use, yours and directly on the Fingbox
My website (nperf) : DL 937 UP 463
Your link (measurelab.net): DL 730 UP 423
Fingbox: DL 517 UP 456
So we can see that the Fingbox cannot take over about 500 Mb / s. Regarding your site it does not reach 1 Gb / s.0 -

It's the speedtest server, I have Gigabit service and the server M-Labs selects for me is limited to about 350 megabit. I get the same result if visiting M-Labs site as well.
If I test from another source my results are much higher.
I think my earlier reply will cover this then. I will repost the information.
