Interestingly, for me, it's reporting significantly higher speeds than I'm paying for, and than other speed tests report.

I'm paying for 100 Mbps down / 100 Mbps up, and every speedtest always comes very close. Upload usually a little higher. From experience the actual maximum speed is also roughly 12 to 13 MBps.

Cloudflare is reporting 667 Mbps down / 220 Mbps up.



It depends how it's tested. Clearly short burst test produces high numbers, because it gets really high, before traffic shaping (throttling) kicks in. In my case cloudflare reports almost 10x the speed I'm actually getting for prolonged downloads. Of course burst speed is much higher.


It's also showing higher speeds, for me. Though only ~20Mbps higher on Cloudfare's speed test vs. other speed tests (and what I'm paying for).
