Openserve speeds higher than line speed

[JayM]

Something's happened in the past few days - I consistently get 110Mb/s on a 100/50 line. Previously I could only get 98Mb/s - anyone else noticing this on their Openserve connection? This is happening on multiple different ISP accounts (Webafrica and Vox).

They probably set it higher to compensate.

Am I'm here happy with getting a 12meg sync on a 10meg line :/

Not fair, you get 20% more and I only got 12% more!

When I do a speedtest (Openserve / Afrihost, 200/100), it would start off at like 210mbps and then settles at like 194mbps by the time the speedtest completes. Never seen the upload going more than 100mbps though.

when I see people post about their high speed fibre lines, my happiness level goes from 200Mbps Fibre speed to 10Mbps ADSL speed

thank you all and have a merry xmas

Don't worry I went from 500mbps fibre (in Kuala Lumpur) to 0.5mbps RAIN LTE..
But lucky they installed fibre recently and went live about a week ago.

lucky. I know Frogfoot and MTN lines generally go above the actual speed by a bit.. my OS line always peaks 2-5mb below the speed (other than the few second speedtest spikes of slightly above that others have mentioned)

I recently downgraded from 1000/100 to 10/10. You would be surprised at how much internet speed you need to actually do stuff lol. streaming 1080p smoothly no issues at all. I only needed the faster line speed for downloads but other than that everything else is just the same lol. Who would have thought?
