I have a Ubiquity/Unifi set up at home (so definitely considered 'powerful' - USG for the traffic, mesh for Wifi), and own many devices on my home network that are more than capable of achieving the full 1Gbps (between recent Macbooks, recent iPhone X/XS, Apple TV, etc) However, my tests have primilary been done hard wired directly (through a CAT6e cable) to a PC with a full, dedicated 1Gbps Ethernet port, and even still, I can't consistently get even 500mbps, much less ~1Gbps. I do not use the Videotron router (but have tried it - and it fails to achieve the giga speeds as well). That said, even across multiple devices, I can't seem to hit more than 550-600mbps max (and even that much is a stretch). Thanks! I was looking for proof that someone had actually achieved the ~940mbps that at least one tech had claimed to have seen (while the other techs who visited told me that this speed was impossible to see, and was achievable only across multiple devices, not across any single one - which I found hard to believe, since Videotron likely then wouldn't market this connection the way they do). It's useful when you have multiple devices that are using the connection at the same time. That said, gigabit internet for a single device is not that useful. servers are often not keeping up with the full gigabit speed.īell Canada, Bell Mobility, Telus, fibrenoire and connect it networks are often the servers that give me the best results. It's the wireless card that is limited in this case.
Download speed test videotron pro#
My "old" MacBook pro and my wife's asus laptop are maxing out at +/- 250mbps download speed on wifi. 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. Not sure if videotron's router is considered "powerfull".Īlso, 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). To get the full speed, you need a somewhat powerfull router. Here's a speedtest done on videotron posted elsewhere : It looks like that +/- 940mbits is the maximum download speed.
