A browser-based speed test like DSLreports depends heavily on the

interferes with that quite spectacularly, although I'm unsure exactly
why. The only advice I can give is "don't do that, then".
I've gotten good numbers from Xfinity's own speed test, and the Waveform
test shows what I expect. I'm pretty sure I've gotten reasonable numbers
from DSLReports in the past year, so this week's DSLReports test was quite
surprising in sucking so badly. I did check the "low-fi" option to disable
browser animations (and yet still got animations) so maybe DSLReports broke
that and is trying to do browser animations in the same thread as the speed
test.
I almost never have a problem with app responsiveness over the RDP
connection, including Youtube on my 4k screen at 60 Hz. The one thing I
don't virtualize is 3D stuff, notably gaming. It's actually impressive just
how much stuff "just works" over RDP. (The two boxes ARE connected by only
a 1 Gbit switch.)
