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...
it looks like that +/- 940mbits is the maximum download speed...
here's a speedtest done on videotron posted elsewhere :

To get the full speed, you need a somewhat powerfull router. Not sure if videotron's router is considered "powerfull".
Also, you need to be either hardwared or wifi connected speed of at least 1300mbits (only 3 or 4 antennas device on AC can offer that kind of speed if you are right next to the router).
On my 400/50 plan, I only able to get the full speed on my apple tv and mac mini (wifi AC) and sometime on my iPhone XS max and iPad 6th gen.
My "old" MacBook pro and my wife's asus laptop are maxing out at +/- 250mbps download speed on wifi.
It's the wireless card that is limited in this case.
Speedtest.net servers are often not keeping up with the full gigabit speed...
Bell Canada, Bell Mobility, Telus, fibrenoire and connect it networks are often the servers that give me the best results.
that said, gigabit internet for a single device is not that useful...
it's useful when you have multiple devices that are using the connection at the same time.
Where are you located? Going to take a wild stab and guess Southshore of Montreal? I've heard of 3 people in the Southshore with the exact same issue so far
Also, what modem do you have?
