Speed tests aren't able to account for Internet traffic overhead. At slower speeds we actually provision your service with approximately 10% higher speeds than what we advertise to compensate for this overhead. With 1 Gig service, the maximum ceiling for provisioning is 1000Mbps, thus we can't provision your service any faster to hide the overhead.

Certainly! There's a big gotcha though: your speed test is only as fast as the slowest link in your path to the Internet. Many times Wi-Fi connections can't provide 100% of your Internet pipe bandwidth to your device. To most accurately test your Internet speed use a wired connection. If you feel that your Wi-Fi speeds are too slow, let RTC help you. Call today to find out more about our managed Wi-Fi offerings.

By choosing the "RTC Fiber Communications" test host you are testing your Internet connection between your home or business and the RTC Internet Edge. The RTC Internet Edge is where RTC connects to other Internet providers. It is RTC's goal to provide your advertised speed up to the Internet Edge. RTC makes every effort to establish the fastest and most reliable connections to the rest of the Internet past our Internet Edge, however, because we can only control the network assets that we own, attainable speeds will vary to other locations across the Internet.
