Last week, my internet was acting up, so I started fiddling with my router settings using the app that my ISP provides. I'm not sure what exactly triggered it, but I found myself getting speeds of 1 Gbps, even though I only have a 25 Mbps plan. I ran several speed tests, and it was consistent. I even downloaded around 500 GB at that speed! However, after a brief power outage today, my speeds reverted back to the normal limit. Is there any way to regain those high speeds or figure out how it happened?

It sounds like you might have stumbled upon a glitch with your ISP. Sometimes, speed test results can be influenced by various factors, including temporary issues on their end. It's unusual but not impossible. Have you tried reaching out to your ISP for clarification?
Honestly, a power flicker can mess with the settings of your modem or router. When your power went out, it could have just reset everything back to normal. It's worth checking if there are any firmware updates or settings you can tweak, but don’t expect to replicate that 1 Gbps speed without a higher plan.
If that was an ISP router, it probably reset to the correct speeds when the power went off. These days, speed limits are mostly enforced on their end, so what you experienced might have just been a momentary lapse in their system. Unless you have a way to access advanced settings, there's not much you can do to get those speeds back.
