other possibility is windows updates , with more security measure, it could slow down my internet? that could explain different results between windows and IOS. my plan is 120/20. So if Fizz or videotron decides to reduce 20% quality, i wouldn't notice at all without speedtest!
-
nothing changed except modem when i left videotron for Fizz. I use Fizz modem as bridge, have my own router like before.
-
it could be Fizz modem too. I had very fast stable speed with TC4400 from videotron. Too bad they don't allow us to use our own modem!
-
when i was with videotron, the results was very stable, whatever the device was. Fizz belongs to videotron, they should take some quality out to give good price, maybe not the same quality servers?

thank you all for your participation. I won't change my mind. No absolute truth here

I agree with this explanation "ISP congestion: there's no such thing as infinite internet for everyone. There are some moments, specially during the day, where more people are using Internet, where ISP (Fizz, Videotron, Bell, etc) can be busy, congestioned. To avoid issues in peak hours they do a traffic shapping (limiting…

Once, on windows 10, it gave 68 down, on ipad 135 down!!! How do you explain that ???? if i bring those number to Fizz, what could they do ? Could i even complain ? They would ask me to to reboot the modem , and at worst to factory reset my modem!!!! Not interested.
-
no i don't expect it to give the same number, but at least in the same RANGE, no BIG variation, but it's not my case. Once, on windows 10, it gave 68 down, on ipad 135 down!!! How do you explain that ????

if you drive a car, and your speedometer jumps up and down , and you know that you drive the same way, you don't push gas pedal or breaks, draw your own conclusion: reliability or difficulty to measure?
-
Because there're too MANY factors affecting the results, that's WHY it's not reliable, whether ISP provider, router, modem, OS, etc ... or even bug in the codes of speedtest too, who knows ?
-
my posiiton is the same: Not reliable, whatever the causes are. Very simple test: same device, same location, run speedtest several times, different results with some BIG differences
-
all your answers confirm my point: speedtest is not reliable!
-
With ipad the results are more stable, not with windows 10. try your tests several times and you’ll see that will change, and that’s normal. What is not normal is when the difference is too big, on the same pc, tablets, or when compare different devices. i use my own router, 5ghz on wifi, on every device.
-
FYI Each time you reboot your modem, Fizz registers that event according to Fizz support. Not sure when your modem loses connection (no internet) and you don’t reboot yet, that event is registered or not!

no problem since 2021-02-19
-
i use my own router, very good router, never had any wifi issue for years. Just reboot Fizz modem and that worked, so the problem is Fizz!
-
my point is : does Fizz register my modem disconnection ? Answer Yes or No ?

Thanks all for your help!
