I just got a new internet plan (I live in Canada) according to the sales person on the phone this plan has unlimited bandwidth and comes with 150Mbps which will cost $75/month.
Problem is, I tried 3 different speed test websites and my own ISPs tester it averaged around 20 Mbps on the other sites, 40 on ISPs tester.
Does this mean I’m not getting what I signed up for?
Also why is it that the speed is slower if I connect the ethernet cable compared to over the wifi
Thanks
Edit: Thank you for all your replies, I will see what can do, i.e test all the stuff that needs testing or double checking. Then probably contact my ISP if all else fails.
Cheers,

in all internet advertisements it’s “up to xxx Mbps”. and internet speed tests, only tests your connection to and from that one single specific server. it doesn’t mean every server you access is going to give you the same speed. your internet speed is determined by the slower of either you or the server you’re connecting to.
if you’ve run multiple speed tests and they are all low, then contact your provider, maybe something is up. or maybe you just tested it during a peak time when the network is congested.
the internet speed should be faster over Ethernet cable because the ethernet cable provides higher bandwidth and lower latency compared to wifi.
