You are getting 950mbit :cautious: not sure what there is to complain about. Realistically you aren't going to get 1024mbit on a speedtest. I get around 920mbit on speedtests but I always get max line speed (Download at around 118MB/s) when I should be getting it...
 
I just wonder why QoS is even needed with 1000Mbit of bandwidth...

Am happily running full speed :D

Your computer's NIC is likely the bottleneck + the TCP overheads... but honestly when people complain about not getting the theoretical number on their screen I just laugh.

I still don't understand how that's possible if international is throttled to 200Mbps?

I don’t understand it either. I just checked again to make sure I’m not just stoned...

At those speeds your HDD and even your CPU can (probably will) bottleneck
 
Ethernet packets 1.5k

1500 - 20 B (IPv4) - 20 B (TCP+checksum) = 1460 B DATA (and 40 B Overhead)

Add 40 B + 14 B (Ethernet) + 4 B (FCS) + 12 B (Interframe gap) + 8 B (preamble) = 78 B Overhead

78 / 1460 * 100 = 5.34% overhead

1460 / ( 1460 + 78) * 100 = 94.93% Throughput/Goodput

1,000,000,000(1Gbit) * 94.93% = 949Mbit/s(0.949Gbit/s)

you measured 941Mbit/s that gives (949 - 941) / 949 * 100 = 0.84 % error between theoretical and actual.

Seems it really is a 'if there is capacity, let it be used' type of deal, hopefully @websquadza keeps it that way haha. I guess the 200Mbit limit is maybe 200Mbit guaranteed, the rest is best effort?

I want to get 950 WITH QOS.
 
I'd run out of things to download with those speeds . . . even streaming won't be funny anymore... ;-)

No SA based VPN will let you come close to that. Not even a privately owned one.

I'm talking about the dude complaining about the line when QoS is disabled. Leave QoS disabled and get him to connect to a VPN - should solve the problem.

Also I can download on ExpressVPN at 60MB/s quite happily, which I'm really surprised about...

Howz your VOIP to china while you're doing that?

Is there a router that can handle 1gbps with QOS or am I asking too much?

Ok well, if it is simple application based QoS you want, a real beefy Asus router might help. If you want any other more advanced level of QoS, ja, good luck, i doubt any consumer router has the power to do that

Thanks, I guess it's going to have to be a pc then.
