What are normal speeds for the Gigabit Internet plan?
This plan supports wired connection speeds as high as 940 Mbps. Wireless speeds are typically between 250 Mbps and 500 Mbps. Your results may vary, especially on older devices.
What are normal speeds for the 1.5 Gigabit or faster plan?
When using 1.5 Gigabit or faster plans, the intention is to provide fast speeds to multiple devices in your home at the same time. These devices, combined, can use the full 1.5 Gigabit of available bandwidth. It is possible for one device, connected by Ethernet and using a capable adapter/dongle, to achieve full speed. To support these speeds, your router, device(s), and network configuration must all be able to keep up.
Depending on your Ethernet adapter and plan, you should expect download speeds between 400 Mbps and 1.5 Gbps. Note, to achieve speeds over 1 Gbps on Ethernet, you will need to be connected to the 10G Ethernet port on the Network Access Hub and use an adapter or dongle that supports higher speeds. On Wi-Fi, your speeds are likely to be between 250 Mbps and 500 Mbps.
