You are right, just kidding. Technically, it is possible to surpass 1gbps if there is compression during transmission. Steam actually does that. It’s usually compress during transmission and it’s decompressed on the user end. I understand it’s not related to this. But it is a known fact.

In this instance yes, its inaccuracies, would recommend using another speed test like Speedtest.net
