Problem with internet connection not functioning properly.
Problem with internet connection not functioning properly.
Hi, I understand your situation. You're using a high-speed connection from Bell's GigaHub 3000 and a Cat7 cable, but your speed tests show much lower results. It might be due to network congestion, ISP throttling, or the actual speeds not reaching your device. Check your connection stability, try different ports, and consider contacting your internet provider for further assistance. Let me know if you need more help!
The hub probably sends data locally at 3000/mbps, ensuring smooth data movement between devices on your local network. Ookla is tracking the speed your ISP provides, and using a router that handles higher frequencies doesn’t always mean faster internet. Your connection speed depends on your actual setup, not just your equipment. A note here: sometimes devices fall short of expected transfer rates due to limitations in hardware. This isn’t usually your problem but can occur. Another point is caution with CAT ratings for cables—both consumer and commercial ones often don’t meet advertised speeds. I’ve tested a 20k FLUKE Tester and noticed many cables underperform their claims.
Since the GigaHub/HomeHub 3000 only offers 1000Mbps (1Gbps) ports, it's surprising how they market products that don't fully utilize https://www.dslreports.com/hardware/Sage...5566-h4553
Bell offers 3Gbps internet options but supplies gear limited to 1Gbps per port. The HomeHub 4000 includes one 10GBASE-T port, though it doesn’t support mGig speeds (2.5 or 5). To approach higher bandwidths, an operator would likely need a switch with a 10G copper port and additional 2.5G downlink ports. It would also require negotiating with the ISP to get the 4000 series model.
