Hello,

Just a internet question to some techos out there.

Previously I was connected to optus cable and use to get better than 100Mbps on OOKLA internet speed test. I am now connected to NBN with Optus (FTTC) and only signed up to 50 Mbps plan and now OOKLA speed test usually returns 52-55 Mbps.

Being on the slower speed gives no noticeable difference on everyday browsing, streaming, etc., which I am happy with. (My laptop is older ASUS f555LD and standard Optus supplied SAGEMON Modem/Router)

My Question is then, does the EQUIPMENT being used actually limit what how fast the actual visual responses are and not necessarily the OOKLA (ISP) shown speeds?

Thanks in advance,
John
