I only have a 1 gigabit connection and my router is 1 gigabit. How does this happen? (alien.top)

The amount of times I see the word over-provisioned here is comical. Literally not related to what he is seeing. HIS ROUTER HAS A 1GIG WAN INTERFACE, it cannot and will not run at 1.2gbps lol.

It's because he is full of shit and has a 2.5gig nic in the modem and tried 30 times to get it to read 1.2 cause it almost is 1.1ish max. On a gig card you can't even see a constant 980mbit, forget about higher.
