Hi,
Anyone upgraded from 1000Mbps to 2000Mbps? If yes, do you notice any difference?
I'm using Xiaomi BE10000, upgraded to 2000 Mbps and max speed increased from ~880Mbps to ~940Mbps. WAN port is on 10Gb, I've switched to SPF as well, but still max 940Mbps.
I'm not sure ISP hasn't upgrade my speed, or this Xiaomi BE10000 maxed out at ~1000Mbps. Of course I'm connected to 5GHz.
What does an ethernet speed test give you?
Is eternet speed test just a speed test but with eternet cable rather than with wifi connections?
Yeah it is.
Quite the conundrum, if only there was a way to test it directly without using your BE10000
Has NBN changed over the NTD as the existing one is not not suitable for 2000 plans.
As Paul02 mentioned has your NTD box been upgraded?
also the NTD box has ethernet to your home is that cable upgrade to atleast cat6a?
If your NTD only supports 1000 Mbps and the cable is Cat5 or cat5E then that is your limiting your speed
You can ethernet directly into your NTD for the best test.
If yes, do you notice any difference?
Yes, onlyfans in 16k means you can tell if they shaved today vs yesterday - is a must!
I prefer au naturale personally. Thanks for asking.
i cancalled my superloop 1000/100 im going back to 56k dial up
I have been since Monday, you'll be needing a router with at least a 2.5g WAN port and a 2.5g LAN port. As well as one of the new NTDs (should have a red port on the back with the label "2.5g").
First day speeds were around 1.4gbps, but have been able to get a solid 2000/100 on speedtest.net since then. With leaptel btw.
Side note, 2gig is useless. Australian services I guess don't expect anyone to have fast internet, even Steam downloads on a beefy PC haven't gone past 1400mbps. Have already requested a downgrade back to 1gig.
Thabks for feedback, I'll answer all those questions so far:
- NTD box upgraded. Provider showed 2000/200.
- Ehternet cable is CAT 7 connect from NTD to Xiaomi AX10000.
- MacOS showed connected to 5Ghz, 160Mhz.
- Xiaomi AX10000 region is CN. I don't see any channel with 240Mhz.
- I've ordered an USB-C->Ethernet 50Gbps to test ethernet speed. I should be able to test today and post an update here.
Apple only supports 80 MHz on 5GHz, it's almost certainly a wifi issue your speed is the maximum you can expect on 5GHz, even on 6e Macs can only do about 1500Mbps under ideal conditions.
Ahhh this is new information. Thank you very much. I'll ask my friend to come over and run a speed test with his Oppo and Samsung phones.
My Macbook Pro M4 showed 160MHz, Tx 2401Mbps.
Update:
- With LAN cable connected directly to NTD speed is ~2020/200Mbps.
- The Xiaomi AX1000 need to manually set the WAN port speed to 2500Mbps. If it's on AUTO, it will maxed out at 1000Mbps, even with ethernet cable directly connected to laptop. Probably bug in firmware.
- After I manually changed WAN port speed to 2500Mbps, ethernet cable connected from laptop directly to AX10000 LAN port, speed is ~ 2050/200.
- However, majority of servers in the world that I've tested before and after the 2000Mbps upgrade are still the same. Tested with ethernet cable connected directly to NTD. Servers are Singtel/Singapore, VNPT/HCM, China Unicom/Shanghai, Deutsche Telekom/Berlin, etc. An exception is Sonic/San Jose-CA, from 800Mbps to 1020Mbps.
Conclusion: Speed boost 2000Mbps is good for local Australia traffic, no major upgrade connection to worldwide.
Note: You must have an ethernet adapter which supports >=2.5Gbps to try. I use CableMatter, 5Gbps from Amazon.
Tested device: Apple Macbook Pro M4.
The advantages of a fast connection like this is not really in the ability of a single server/download/speed test to provide that bandwidth. It's for multiple clients to all be able to download at a high speed simultaneously or for it to be distributed over multiple sources from a single client.
If you are interested in why a single remote source struggles to provide high speeds vs a local source you need to understand how latency (which is increased by distance) affects TCP/IP. Look up a "Network Throughput Calculator" if you are interested and see how increasing latency and even a small level of packet loss will massively downgrade performance.
Thanks for info.
This is another perspective. I assumed (could be right or wrong, need to check google/Ookla), that "Multiple connections" on speed test is already cover your single/multi clients argument.
To an extent on a speed test, yes, but it comes down to how many multiple connections and it's not indicative of real world applications or performance. For many applications you are much better off with a provider that can provide the absolute best latency vs the maximum bandwidth to maximise throughput.
At 350ms latency you would be looking at only 10MBits/second per "connection" so you would need over 200 connections to saturate your bandwidth which is pretty crazy.
@Ynk: You're totally right. However. I haven't bring up ping/latency at all, I'm using same provider, same ping/latency just like before the upgrade.
In this topic, what I'm discussing about is maximum bandwidth of Xiaomi AX10000/BE10000 and upgrading from 1000Mbps to 2000Mbps, especially the benefit of upgrading from 1000Mbps to 2000Mbps is not really impressive, giving the "multiple connections" on Speed test by Ooka is maximum numbers of allowed clients from from browser to server.
There are too many elements we have to consider if we are going dig this deeper: MTU, maximum numbers of "chunk" per client, maximum clients per device, how many different servers you are connecting at the same time, how clients connected to router, etc.
Thanks to your comment, I'll be able to edit my previous post to avoid misunderstanding.
Have a nice day.
@hungchieu: Thanks, appreciate your understanding of the nuance. Most people have no clue they just see big number = better.

Edit: Thanks to @Ynk, I was too quick to jump to conclusion without consider other factors. What I really mean "no major upgrade" is what happened in my speediest scenario, it used multiple connections but to a single server. Higher bandwidth will certainly help when connecting to multiple servers.
This means, you will not notice any major upgrade if you are using Netflix, youtube, tiktok or whatever, but if your household has multiple users connecting to multiple servers/sources at the same time, this is worth the upgrade. Or even multiple people connecting to the same source (eg: multiple devices are using Netflix), this boost is totally worth the money.
of course you won't notice any difference on a lowly 2000Mbps plan. you need to be on at least a 10Gbps plan before things really start to happen
Hi guys,
I solely play first person shooters on ps5 via a wired connection.
My current NBN speed is 50/20. No issues with lag or disconnections currently.
Will upgrading to 500/50 make any noticeable difference?
Thanks!
Generally no, however if another device or person on your network (such as your phone) starts pulling down an application or doing an update then because you only have 50Mbps it will saturate this bandwidth and massively increase your latency (lag). Moving to 500 won't stop that from happening completely but it will reduce the chances of it significantly. There are other ways you can also manage it via QoS. But if you are not currently experiencing this issue then the upgrade won't help.
You also could notice an improvement if you are changing technology type as part of the upgrade, if you move from FTTB, FTTC, FTTN etc to FTTP your latency will reduce.
Thank you!
