Why is 1000mbps internet only guaranteed at 900mbps and what’s the equipment needed to get the 1000mbps advertised?
In: 90
The speed of your connection is determined by the weakest links in your chain to the remote site you are connecting to, and that can be in your local wifi, in the connection between your home and your Internet Service Provider, or further away on the remote legs of the internet all the way up until the site you are connecting to. As such for many people reaching the speed specified in their internet contract, which only specified for the speed locally between yourself and the Internet Service Provider, is something that happens now and then, or may even be a bit of a pipe dream if your line quality is poor.
Although you can work towards your maximum speed by removing weaker links such as ensuring your wifi is faster than your internet connection or using a CAT6 cable, or having the internet provider correct any issues there may be on the line, the most reliable way to get 1000mbps is to pay for a connection that is somewhat faster than 1000mbps while downloading from local sources that don’t have bandwidth congestion.
