I only have a 1 gigabit connection and my router is 1 gigabit. How does this happen? (alien.top)

Fast.com is really inaccurate in my experience

Fun fact: if your company throttles video bandwidth fast.com gets that. We throttle at 2mbs and fast shows exactly that.

I do belive that was the initial reason for the site, it was during the whole ISPs getting caught lying and throttling hence why it's a Netflix owned site.

I feel like thats a bit ironic because it was made because speedtest wasn't giving accurate numbers for a time because the site would optimize for certain ISPs like comcast instead of giving realistic speeds

Same here. I have 500Mbps service and speedtest more or less agrees. Fast consistently says it's running at 700Mbps.
