internet circuit speed test
We have a new 1G internet circuit, but when we do the speed test from close to the internet router, It shows only 700MB/S Upload and 400MB/S download speed only. What could have been causing this

Ideally you want to connect a computer directly into the router via a wired connection (and have nothing else attached to it to prevent other devices using internet bandwidth).
Does your IP guarantee a 1GBps connection on your internet line? If not then the line may be shared which means the speed can vary depending on which other customers are also using the main line. If it is guaranteed and you still don't see the speed you expect it would be worth speaking to your ISP.
