Download Speed Problems

[AWPortunity]

So, I have a pretty simple problem that may or may not have a simple solution.

When testing my internet on Speedtest.net, I get these results..

However, when downloading something on steam, my download speed always maxes out at about 3.0mb/s. Worse when downloading something on the internet.

Could something be bottlenecking my internet? Is there anything I can do to fix this? It may be important to note also, that using an ethernet cord doesn't change my speed very much at all. It reduces the variance a bit, but doesn't increase speeds. I am however currently using an ethernet cord.

What speed are you paying for? Do these numbers meet what you are paying for?

Apparently this is what I pay for http://results.speedtest.comcast.net/result/901663704.png

I don't understand.... There shouldn't be an "Apparently" in your answer as to what is paid for. Your bill should say what you are paying for. No speed test will tell you that.

Sorry, my bill and the comcast website tell me I pay for "TV and internet bundle" I spent a few hours last night trying to find the actual speed, but couldn't.

Ok... Don't you LOVE Comcast ....

Comcast can have congestion problems. Try a speed test late at night or during the middle of the day. That will be the best conditions. Ask them to check the quality of your modem signal.

Stream, I think (I don't game) reports MB (bytes) -- 3 MB would be close to your 30 Mbit number....
