There's no way I'm getting over 500Mbps on my Telekom phone data in this elevator right now. EDIT: fast.com is showing 1Gbps. There's no way that's true.

  Are you on local 5G? I’ve seen numbers like that. And they often put things in the elevator shafts to prevent dropout.

  Do you have 5G by chance? Have never really looked up 5G speeds until now, so I personally was suprised by what I found, but apparently the speeds can often be anywhere from 1Gbps to 10Gbps, so anywhere in that ballpark or possibly lower could be true. > The theoretical maximum speeds of 5G are pretty groundbreaking — but we have a very long way to go before you’re likely to hit that kind of peak speed in the real world, regardless of your connected device. Depending on your 5G coverage, maximum download speeds *often* range from 1Gbps to 10Gbps, and latency, or the time it takes to send data, could go as low as 1 millisecond (ms).

  Fast.com uses local Netflix instances for the data so if you near to one yea you can get high speeds. Also 5G might be in the building with you #tinfoilhat

  I've been trouble shooting a dodgy 5G connection the last month or so and have entirely abandoned fast.com now. It seems susceptible to wildly inaccurate results when the connection is "bursty", the way 5G can be. I've got some very impressive screenshots from it though, next time anyone wants a measuring contest.
