Speed Tests - Speed - Slow Speed

These are speed tests. I have a 1Gbit speed at home and during other speed tests I easily get 900Mbit easily on all tests. I have no idea on what to do.

Have you looked and asked at the support thread for that plugin?

I didn't even think it would be the plug-in itself so I ran the GUI and came back with similar results.

With a 1Gbit service and speaking to a couple Comcast engineers I should be getting 700-800 Mbit consistently.

Isn't this a question you should be asking your service provider?

Not at all, because if I hook up a Windows desktop to that same line/node I get 700-900 Mbps on all speed tests. I have to try to make sure the speed test is using an SSD drive and not a mechanical.

Strangely enough, I've noticed this as well.  First I thought it had something to do with the bonding I have set up with my 4 intel NICs.  I've dropped them, rebuilt them, moved them around my switch, switch switches, and tested connecting 1, 2, and all 4, directly to my home's core switch.  Same results.  I'm debating on rolling back, but I have hesitations doing so.

 

Nevertheless, I'm extremely interested in any resolutions to this situation. 

 

Oh yeah, I too have 1Gbps service to my residence.  Can confirm all other devices on the network can achieve at least 850+Mbps...

Same thing here! I have a Gigabit Internet Connection which works on all devices. But to add more confusion to the whole situation my setup behaves in strange ways...

  • Nextcloud (Docker installation, bridge mode)
    • Downloads: Gigabit speed internally (server with local ip --> client pc)
    • Downloads: only 30 mbit/s over the internet (public ip --> client pc)
  • Plex Media Server (Docker installtion, bridge mode)
    • Sync works at over 100 mbit/s over internet
  • Speedtest plugin
    • The same 30 - 40 mbit/s for upload (like Nextcloud Docker)
    • and only around 500 mbit/s for download
    • image.thumb.png.e517cc83bf986efad4a28470bdb33f1a.png
  • Windows 10 (VM)
    • gets Gigabit speeds in speed tests over the same bloody network interface
  • FTP
    • 300 to 400 Mbit/s via Internet
    • Gigabit via local network

And to reply to the most common responses beforehand...

  • Yes, my ISP speeds are indeed confirmed working via Speedtests and external testing
  • The network infrastructure is working (otherwise I woudn't be getting 1000 mbit/s internally when using FTP/SMB)
  • The system is not under-powered 
    • i7-4790k
    • 24 GB of RAM
    • Gigabit Ethernet Port
    • SSD for Cache (pretty much empty)
  • Docker Image and all appdata is on an unassigned SSD

 

So with all of this out of the way...where on earth is the damn bottleneck in my system?!

Update:

After fiddling around with reverse proxies and ssl, I apparently got Nextcloud working as intended....

 

I setup the "Nginx Proxy Manager"-Docker and added the SSL-Certificates and the host proxies and now everything seems to be working great.
+ I can use subdomains on a single port instead of having everything port forwarded :D

Glad to hear that you got this sorted (saw your email about this as well).  Just for future reference, if there is ever a bottleneck like this that is only seen over the WAN but never the LAN, Unraid is very unlikely to be the culprit.  It is more than likely either an issue with the application you're using, the network, or your ISP.  With gigabit Internet connections, Speedtests can be unreliable as some providers don't have the ability to support 1gbps tests reliably/consistently.  That's a lot of bandwidth!  Another issue can be the use of proxies.  If you don't have port forwarding configured properly, you can easily end up in a situation where you're transmitting all your data through a proxy service which then limits the speed at which the endpoint can receive the data.
