So here is an interesting issue, I had new fiber 1000 service installed in my apartment yesterday, and everything seemed to be working fine, I ran lots of speed tests, and nearly always got 930+ mbps down and up. But I came to notice that I am only getting those upload speeds whenever I am using a speed test website like Speedtest.net, dslreports, or fast.com. Whenever I try to upload something to an actual website like google drive, or an off-site FTP server everything is extremely slow, like 30-300KBps. Similarly, if I connect my computer to a VPN, and run a Speedtest, I still get great download results in the hundreds of megabits, but the upload slows down to a halt just like non-speedtest websites when connected to my connection directly.
Any idea what could be going wrong? I've done tests connected directly to their modem/router, and through my Unifi USG connected to their router in IP Passthrough mode. My AT&T provided router/modem is the BGW210. It's almost like they are throttling everything but speed tests.
