    Question Download speed is not anywhere close to what is should be.

    My download speed is limited to only 1-5 mb/s. I pay for 500mb/s and when I run any internet speed test it shows 450+. This doesn't change if I use different ethernet cords or WIFI instead of ethernet. Other devices in the house work at an appropriate speed. It also doesn't seem to matter the...

    Question Internet Connection Bottlenecked at 3Mbps, only on PC.

    My computer has been facing this problem for the same problem for around 2 years now and I've finally gotten sick about it.

    [SOLVED] Motherboard is limiting my download speed?

    In my house, I've had Google Fiber. I've ran a Ethernet test from the main hub, to my PC and it's shown that I'm able to get 980Mbps down and 890Mbps upload. Amazing, but my landlord won't allow me to keep the ethernet hooked and wired throughout the house. Sucks, but no fighting it I suppose...

    Question Downloads from Steam/Epic Games are up to par, internet downloads (chrome/edge) are incredibly slow

    In the past, I've had no issues with this, however recently the download speeds I get from chrome are around 1-2 megabytes per second, while downloads from steam, epic games, and other non browser related downloads are upwards of 12-13 megabytes per second. I don't think I've changed anything...

    [SOLVED] My PC cannot reach speeds higher than 100 Mbps

    So I have a 300 Mbps plan, and every device on my network can reach these speeds using speedtest.net. The steps I've taken up until now: Had my ISP install a new modem, bought a 4Gbps router (linked with a short 2ft, new cat5e cable), purchased a new Cat 6 cable that goes directly from the...

    Question Download speed is much lower than in Task Manager

    Hi, pretty much for 3 years I've had very slow download speeds compared to other people even when I would have the same or better ping in games. I'm using an ethernet cable and the broadband is "sky" with a package that should have 11mbps on average. I tried using different ports on the hub and...

    Question Desktop Internet slower than other devices

    My desktop download speed is significantly lower than other devices. Whether they are on Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable does not seem to matter. Phone and tablet on Wi-Fi are getting over what I’m paying for. Same for PS4 & Laptop, except they are directly connected to the router with ethernet cable...
