17 Mbit up, 116Mbit down from AM server using speedtest.net. <br> <br>Not to great as the upload speed is exactly what I get at home (yes I am lucky), down is pretty good as I suspect that is the server limit from where I download. <br> <br>https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli <br> <br>

Wait I lied… just ran the test again and got 37Mbit up.
<br>I know why the test is so slow now too. My IP according to geo location is in russia… so speedtest downloads from russia.

I’ve just tested both links and was downloading at the same speed, give it a shot at a different time and see if you are seeing the same download speed.
