For
Households documenting recurring ISP underperformance
Worth noticing
Tests run over cable, check whether the household is using the line, and take the middle of five simultaneous server results.

Field notes

The site describes a wired device that checks whether the household is using the line before each hourly test, then samples five servers at once and uses their middle result. Its sample report covers a Manhattan cable line from Aug. 16 to Sept. 6, 2026, and reports a 210 Mbps median against a 600 Mbps advertised plan; the page says the same unit reached 900 Mbps on a faster line elsewhere.
