is this app any good. I am on a M4 Mac mini and am connected to the internet through a lan, it claims I am getting 20499.1 Mbps download and 12648.53 Mbps upload with a <1 ms ping. sounds way to high to me.

You are running the test on the website, while running the app on your Mac?
Website https://openspeedtest.com
OpenSpeedTest-Server https://apps.apple.com/app/id1579499874

 

[John Frahm]

yes, is that wrong? From what I read it works on browser, it determines speeds from my computer to there webpage and back. claims that is real world comparison.

To test your Internet speed, use only the website.
Or https://fast.com
To test the speed between computers in your network, use the OpenSpeedTest-Server app.

For most ISPs upload speeds are far lower than download speeds, unless you have fiber to the home. I have a package that has 2Gbps down, but only 75Mbps up.

@John Frahm The upload speed is too slow compared to the download speed. Try to configure your router to use IPv4 instead of IPv6.

thank you, I will try that. I was going to check settings but router was giving me hard time trying to log in, I was using info on back of router to no avail. am going to contact Verizon.
and I am pretty sure I have fiber optic (FIOS) but not certain, I am retired and on disability and live with my son, its his account. THANK EVERYONE FOR THERE RESPONCES!!!
