 I have made a peripheral when I connect from a windows notebook I achieve around 800 kb/s. 
 According to this post 800 kbs is expected on windows machine.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;It might&amp;nbsp;be due to macOS imposing different connection parameters (e.g., longer connection intervals, different ATT MTU negotiation, or fewer packets per connection event) compared to Windows. These host-side limitations are well-known factors that affect achievable throughput. See&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://interrupt.memfault.com/blog/ble-throughput-primer#throughput-optimization-checklist" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span&gt;BLE throughput factors&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;You can use the&lt;a href="https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Development-tools/nRF-Sniffer-for-Bluetooth-LE"&gt; nRF Sniffer&lt;/a&gt; to capture the sniffer log to compare the behaviors/negociated connection parameters with Windows/Apple.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
