Am I getting confused with the units  Huh

Re: Speed on my new Fibre installation

I thought it was too good for a wifi connection
Also with this as my profile i would expect something like 25 Mbps for my download speed  Huh

mbps are the ones concerned with speed as it's a measurement of megabytes per second
mb just refers to a quantity of data.
what speeds do you get according to a test at http://speedtest.btwholesale.com/?
Do bear in mind that speeds over wireless are never quite the same as over ethernet.

@adam
I did a BTW speed test the other day, am I right that you get the results as my ISP?  Roll_eyes
My immediate problem is that the desktop is in the office at the top of the house connected by homeplugs making it unsuitable for speed tests. so my day to day computer is the IPad giving the results below which I would like to verify  Smiley
I have a laptop which I can do a speed tests but it is not well and is put away most of the time  Smiley
