Fast & Speedtest showing incorrect download speeds

My Fast & Speedtest download speeds are being displayed incorrectly.

If I go to fast.com and speedtest websites, the D/L speed is ~210Mbps

However on HA, it shows ~ 90Mbps for both services

Anyone else experience this? How can i get it corrected?

thanks

What are you running HA on? If it’s a Raspberry Pi, remember that the network interface is a 10/100 Mb/s unit, so you can reasonably expect it to max out around 90 Mb/s to 95 Mb/s.

Exactly. I installed an USB Gigabit Ethernet adapter instead, and then my values appear correct.

Try downloading speedtest.py from this github repo - https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli and then run it from the command line and you should get the same result as in HA.

Thanks for the feedback guys - makes absolute sense

May look into the USB Gigabit Ethernet adapter option

cheers
