I recently upgraded to Bigpipe gigabit plan and have done series of speed tests with the Speedtest app on a MBP, first three tests were ethernet cable to edgerouter4 to ONT…, awesome results I am happy with.

Next tests were MPB wireless to UniFi nanoHD to EdgeSwitch 10XP to Edgrouter4 to ONT…, Question is why is the download to Wellington and Auckland tests crap ? (Yes I know on wireless I will max out about 600Mbps)

No its not although I thought gigabit plan would be a big step up from 200/20 plan but in reality the upload speed is the only improvement

To the Christchurch server yes but I would have thought the download to Wellington and Auckland would have been the same just higher ping considering the wireless maxs out at 600Mbps the upload is fine.

600Mbp/s in perfect radio conditions and no one else around you using Wi-Fi as it's a shared resource

True, the results were just single user on the nanoHD what I having trouble with is if I get 900+ download on ethernet, 500+ on wireless to Christchurch servers and 700+ download on ethernet to Auckland surely the wireless should still be 500+ to Auckland ?
