What speed should I get on Wateen?
Fiber home connections should test close to the package on a cable. Business links are usually symmetrical, with upload equal to download.
Your package speed is the maximum. A fair test is on a LAN cable at a quiet time. If you consistently get far less, collect screenshots of at least three results on different days before complaining.
