Ookla’s Speedtest may be the best known, and you can also turn to Google’s tool search for speedtest or Netflix’s Fast. I assumed the problem was with the new ISP circuit or a QoS policy. The Speedtest app from Ookla from the Mac App Store appears to return accurate results on MacBook Pro's running Big Sur with external ethernet adapters.Įarlier this week, our office upgraded our internet circuit and I "spent hours" trying to figure out why our speeds were so bad using which has always been relatively accurate. I did notice Intel and M1 Mac Mini's with built in ethernet running Big Sur did not have this issue. 2 days ago &0183 &32 SpaceXs satellite internet service came out on top 'despite Starlink having a median download speed of 65.29Mbps compared to 203.

I tried SEVERAL different ethernet adapters and experienced the same results. The same test on MacBook Pro same model running Catalina and it returns accurate results. If you run a speed test from or any other speedtest site in any web browser on Big Sur, the upload results are way, way off, typically the results show half to a third of the actual speed. It determines your location and pairs you to a local. But when you need a faster connection, try connecting to a few different VPN servers close to where youre physically located and see which ones yield the fastest speeds. I have tested this on two 16" 2019 MacBook Pro's running Big Sur. Ookla Speedtest measures the time it takes for data to transfer between your computer and a remote server by way of your local ISP connection. I discovered an unusual issue this week and was wondering if anyone else has seen this problem? Speedtest by Ookla is a full-featured iteration for internet and network speed.
