Looking to see if its a fing issue or their testing provider...
M-Lab speed Test returns the same.
The Ubiquiti Speed Test reports 350Mbs/100Mbs
BT reports 930Mbs/130Mbs.
So not sure why such a large discrepancy.
We have been in contact earlier 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.

Is Fing testing and/or migrating to the new M-Lab NDT7 protocol that could be fixing this speed test issue with Fingbox?

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.
Please run the speed test from Fing desktop as well to compare the test results with Fing app and M-lab website and share the results with us so I can investigate further? Thanks

@DoomSwitch , did you try @Robin ’s link above for Mlabs and if so what was the output? Did it match what Fing reported?
FingBox v2 (most inaccurate and biggest issue) - This test has NEVER been accurate.
FingDesktop (most accurate)
mLab Website (browser based so, meh.)
SpeedTest Desktop App (my goto and just for comparison)
Still waiting on an official response @Robin

I can confirm that I have tried multiple cables (Cat5e, Cat6) directly connected primary switch (confirmed 1gbps negotiated rate) and I am still seeing the same result.
The Fing app (wireless) will not show similar results as hardwired Fingbox so I am not sure that is a valid test. Other tests as indicated above do reflect different results.
my ISP just upgraded to synchronous 1 Gbps, but fingbox still shows speeds approx 500 Mbps.
