Basically, I’m absolutely happy with the speed. My only concern is that I don’t pay more than makes sense. And the question remains, why are the results of the Swisscom Speedtest two decimal places higher? This has a very bitter aftertaste for me. I hardly believe there is an error in the representation.

    Hello @Keutzobith53

    I doubt that you have a 10 Gb network card installed in your computers. This means you have a Anschluss that is at least a factor of 10 or 100 lower.

    In contrast to most computers, the router is connected to the fiber optic network with 10 Gb, the computer is usually only connected with 100 Mb or 1 Gb.

    That’s why for me 10 GB is just a marketing size, it’s offered because it’s possible, not because it’s really needed. At least from most customers, that doesn’t mean that such a need isn’t real. E.g. with Anschluss of many devices with high throughput.

    My speed tests show exactly the value that the router shows. My Anschluss is far below what my computer can do.

    I myself have subscribed to exactly what my Anschluss offers, but I would never pay for more than 1 GB if it were to be upgraded.

    Hi Keutzobith53

    I’m basically absolutely satisfied with the speed. My only concern is that I don’t pay more than is reasonable.

    Then you have just answered the question yourself 😉.

    With a speed test on the PC via cable you should achieve a little less than 1 gigabit/s.

    I would suspect a defective/old cable/house installation between the Internet box and PC. (unless your PC is so old that it only has a 100 Mbit/s network card).

    You can check how fast the connection to the PC is on https://internetbox.swisscom.ch:

    1. Register

    2. Click on “Wired Devices”:

    If it says 100 Mbit/s, then the child has fallen into the well.

    You can also check your current total consumption there:

    1. Activate expert mode at the bottom left

    2. Scroll down under Diagnosis

    Then you can see your effective “speed consumption” in the last 10 minutes.

    In practice, the needs analysis for the different blue Internet subscriptions can actually be assigned quite well to individual user profiles:

    Internet S = normal household with any number of members

    Internet M = for power users and other special needs

    Internet L = for pure speed test freaks who simply enjoy big numbers and impressive diagrams and/or for server locations with a consistent 10 Gbit-capable network installation and corresponding high-speed hardware with 10 Gbit-capable LAN adapters

    If you don’t really trust your own needs assessment, you can easily switch your Internet subscription back and forth within mySwisscom, even several times a day.

    Each change in level only takes about 5 minutes to take effect and works perfectly like switching gears without having to restart the router.

    Billing is always done on a daily basis, so there are no real cost risks for short-term stays in more expensive subscription levels.

    By the way, if most pure speed test freaks weren’t so technically incompetent at the same time, they would probably only turn on the L subscription for a short time during their apparently urgently needed speed tests 🙂

    The almost exactly 100Mbit down and up indicate 100Mbit cabling (only 4 wires) or network card.

    Can you check the speed at which the network card synchronizes with the Swisscom router in your operating system? It’s best to take a screenshot for us.

    I slowed down to 350 MB/s, which is enough 🙂

    1GB or 10GB needs fiber optic! (I didn’t 😞 House is too old to upgrade)!

    and remember everything will be more expensive 😞

    I don’t have to watch real-time cameras!

    My games still work even after 20 years 🙂

    What do you want to say with the Speedtest Link? In order to see your speed data you have to put the result as an image here, see example image below.

    _N.b. The age of the house is not necessarily the problem, but rather what comes in from outside.

    You don’t even get 1GB in 😞

    so what do you want with 10GB???

    Wifi is not that strong, cable is stronger 🙂

    There is another problem…how strong/weak is your built-in modem???

    Ah sorry 8000 sind 8 GB 😞 grrrrrr

    Which ones for example???
