Can we get a Wifi Speedtest sticky post on all the ISP forums, might help stop these "why aren't i getting 1000mbps on my wifi" posts........

 

Something along the lines of  " DONT SPEEDTEST YOUR ISP OVER WIFI THEN COMPLAIN - USE ETHERNET"

to be fair MOD's should just make a quick post in the thread then lock it.

 

Have them PM someone when they have a ethernet speedtest and it can be unlocked again

It might be a bit onerous to expect the mods to shut those threads down.

@PeterReader - is this something you can take care of?

I can reply to threads where the OP mention some words - "WiFi" and "test" in the same post for example.

 

But if the OP says "My Speedtest is slow" I won't know it's over WiFi or not. Remember, most OP withhold information until later when people ask "How are you testing?" and then you get the reply starting with "Oh, I forgot to mention" and some explanation about using WiFi because the wireless router is in the garden shed with metal walls because that's where their ONT is but they are sure it's ok because the hill between the house and the garden won't interfere at all.
