To use gigabit speeds, the used notebook, for example, must have a gigabit LAN interface if connected via a network cable.
With the measurement of incoming frequencies in the cable connection and the end devices used
In the first step, the speed test measures the connection from the Vodafone server to the customer’s device. If the result deviates from the booked fee, the second phase takes place. In the second stream, the actual line coming to the customer’s Internet modem is measured. This determines whether there is bandwidth control. If the cable connection comes at full speed, there should be speed issues with the end devices used by the customer.
