Videotron Giga Speeds
Can those with the Videotron GIGA plan confirm what the FASTEST SPEED is that they've achieved (whether on a single device, or across multiple devices)? I've had techs come to 'fix' the speeds severa...
I had the giga package for a few month. but since I was not using the full speed most of the time, I decided to save some money and went back to the 200 mbps service.
I was able to run some speed tests over 900 mbps as you can see in the dsl reports link Anonyme sent but most of the time, the speed test on a single computer is CPU limited. Check your task manager while you're runing a speed test in your browser and you'll see what I mean :)
A real world speed test would be best: a good router, 2 computers downloading from fast servers at the same time.
As Anonyme said, 400 mbps services and over are made to be shared between multiple devices. As long as you have a good router, it should not be a problem. BTW, I have the ZyXel router from Videotron. It is able to handle giga speeds.
I really didn't want this thread to become a "whether you actually need gigabit or not" -- whether they're 'made to be' shared between multiple devices or not, I got the service myself to see the full gigabit (940mbps) on a single device. I see now, through various threads, that others have been able to achieve this speed on a single device, so now I'm on the hunt for a fix on how to get the same on my connection.
I'm an IT guy :)My issues are not related to CPU usage, or lack of I/O capable of writing to disk at the 1gbps (or, again, 940mbps) speed -- my issues are of the modem not being able to provide the full 940mbps across a single OR multiple devices -- confirmed by the multiple Videotron techs who have visited my place and used their own devices (as well as mine) to confirm speeds
Appreciate the replies -- hoping someone has a suggestion on what can be done to fix my speed limitation issue
