I'm on the M1 500 Mbps plan and I'm only able to hit 140Mbps speed on LAN connection directly to the router RT-AC1200G+. Any ideas why?
I'm using the following laptop to measure, its spec only say Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller 10/100/1000:Could be many things... Faulty cable, faulty router, faulty ont, lowend hardware, misconfigured or broken drivers etc...
How are you measuring? What client device are you using and with what ethernet card (ie built in, usb to ethernet dongle etc)?
How about the router - are there any settings on the router which might be affecting performance - eg aggressive qos, or large numbers of firewall rules etc?I'm using the following laptop to measure, its spec only say Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller 10/100/1000:

I've tried different cable and verified they are 1 Gbps capable (by checking the network status, correct me if this is inaccurate). Router's setting page also shows WAN and LAN connection are 1Gbps.
My WiFi Speedtest (using various phones and laptops) is also capped at around the same speed, which makes me suspect there's something wrong with the ONT actually..
M1 technician visited my place after speed complaint to change ONT. You can try that to see if it helps.I'm on the M1 500 Mbps plan and I'm only able to hit 140Mbps speed on LAN connection directly to the router RT-AC1200G+. Any ideas why?

Damn that actually helped to improve the results to 220-250Mbps. I played around with QoS previously and forgot about it...How about the router - are there any settings on the router which might be affecting performance - eg aggressive qos, or large numbers of firewall rules etc?
Thanks. Will consider doing that!M1 technician visited my place after speed complaint to change ONT. You can try that to see if it helps.
I'm having some bandwidth issues with 500Mbps connection. Does anyone know how to get them to let me upgrade to 1Gbps for the remainder of my contract without signing new contract?
Can't find Native Dynamic IP(SLAAC/DHCPV6) for my Asus router.Native Dynamic IP(SLAAC/DHCPV6)
Ensure that prefix delegation (DHCPv6-PD) is enabled
Prefix size will need to be set to 64 if such an option is available
Once enabled your clients should get an ipv6 address automatically, you can go to http://www.test-ipv6.com to verify and also check the network settings depending on the device type.
M1 should really train their techs properly so this gets enabled by default...
The option is just called "native" on that FAQ, and it highlights a screenshot where the DHCP-PD option is also enabled. That's what you want.Can't find Native Dynamic IP(SLAAC/DHCPV6) for my Asus router.
The Asus FAQ recommends to use "passthrough" for WAN Auto IP connections ?

I am curious of the contention ratio for M1 home broadband? aha
Only one ISP limit the upload speed to 500Mbps for the 1Gbps plan, that is MyReplublic.i am having pretty good performance with M1. Can hit 900mbps+ on most days, and this is for both up and downlinks each. some or most isps limit uploads to half the full speed only, eg. 500mbps for a 1gbps plan.
