Hi

 

Im with Skinny 300/100 Fibre

 

I was testing my Skinny Fibre speed on Fast.com Netflix and noticed the speed I got was 640Mbps and upload 130Mbps which is much faster than the advertised speed.

 

Is the fast Fibre speed I get due to using Cloudflare DNS? or its something else?

DNS will have minimum impact on speed and even so only at the start of a connection.

 

Something else is happening here.
