Connection was higher than what is paid

[Johannes Phi]

So I was just starting to run with a ethernet cable and for some reason got a 100/100 connection (I am paying for a 25/25 connection). But recently I got a new computer with an network adapter, my connection has been down at 20/20 even when the new computer is off. Also my wireless connection has ALWAYS been 25/25. It was only ethernet which was only 1 device.

Thanks in advance.

Contact you Internet service provider, if you're not getting connection bandwidth, you're paying for.

No, I was getting a higher bandwidth than what I was paying for through ethernet which was 100/100 and I would like to know the reason. The wireless connection was still 25/25 which was the bandwidth I was paying for.

The ethernet cable in the network properties will only ever show values of 10Mbps, 100Mbps or 1Gbps. Those are the only values it can possibly take. Wifi will auto-negotiate to the best value it can manage at any point in time, your access point may max out at 25/25?, there are set values but there are many more of them.

I did a speedtest and got 100/100. I didn't touch any of the network properties settings.

i would take a screen shot of the 100/100 and send it to your ISP and ask whats going on

I am assuming you mean http://www.speedtest.net/

probably a mix up on their end

10/100/1000 are just the bandwidths your network adapter is capable of, not your actual bandwidth through the line from your ISP.

I still got the speed I paid for with wireless connection. I didn't mind a higher connection speed though.

I'd keep quiet, just make sure they aren't billing your for it by mistake.

whoever wired up your physical connection was nice to you. Expect if you used a lot they might notice unless you have an unlimited connection for downloads.

If you mean setting up the internet to the router. That happened years ago. I just plugged in a cat5e to my computer and got the bandwidth.

The outside line that attaches to Router is the one I meant. it must be running at that speed?

Perhaps ISP updating network and everyone running at that speed near you? Expect they only ones who have the answer
