The cable co here advertises (download) speeds up to 1G. From what I
hear from users, it's actually around 700M (or lower).
I wonder how those users are coming to that conclusion. Actual usage,
for which it's not easy to test accurately, or so-called speed test
sites. I'd trust actual users if I knew how they were testing.

Not many computers can sustain that speed. I can't transfer files in my
LAN at that speed, for instance. Closer to 700 or 800.


Check whether the LAN on each machine uses PCI Express for the GbE NIC.
That should help out.


Can't. One machine is a "Cubi N" MSI mini PC. Rather laptop hardware in
a small box. Another is actually a laptop, a Lenovo Yoga 30011IBR. And
the desktop machine has the network hardware integrated in the board.

Then there is the issue that rotating rust hard disks can produce in
optimal conditions on a normal computer about 150 Mb/s at best.
Contiguous sectors. Much less under actual multitasking usage, and
processing overhead (encryption, compression...).


You could use something like iperf3 to isolate the network from the
rotating rust. It uses a client-server model and no file is written to
disk. Received bits are counted, timed, and dropped on the floor.
