Why is there a significant difference between internet speed test done on the TPG app vs other internet speed testing platforms? I am in NBN 50, TPG app shows the speed around 45mbps while other apps and websites show the speed in mid twenties or under.

Hi @adityaandley,



Welcome to the community!
 

The speed tests find servers from many providers not specifically your ISP, so it could be TPG, iiNet, Telstra, Optus or many others. Usually it will choose the closest server to your location, in your case it would appear iiNet although no longer your ISP is the closest server for it to test from.
