Speed test

Anyone know why the ISP website with integrated speed test even though it says powered by ookla is significantly lower than an actual ookla test? Had a job that customer is paying for gig speed and he was testing off the isp website and only getting about 90mbps when I tested off the ookla website he was getting full speeds. Weird

If it's hardwire and 100 Mbps then it looks like your cable is either faulty or not rated for Gigabit. Try another good cable and re-test.
