Internet Download NOT over 7.2 MBps

[madsriisager]

During my internetdownloads I have started to notice something. My download speed doesn't get over 7.2 MBps. NEVER. I have tried downloading from multiple computers at the same time, download ding from steam, OneDrive and other places, where you can download files, so there were a variation in servers and computers. But no matter what, the total speed of all the computers and downloads doesn't get over 7.2 MBps.

I tried testing the spees with speedtest.net, and it gave me 55 MBps up and down.

I also tried to calling my provider, but all they say is, that it is the servers i download from, that is the problem.

But as an example I can download form steam with 6.6 MBps or more, and 7.2 MBps from OneDrive, but if I download from them both at the same time, the total speed will only be 7.2 MBps.

What can the problem be?

Firstly check if speedtest.net is showing megabytes per second or megabits per second. There is a difference.
60 megabits per second equals to 7.2 Megabytes per second.

MBps is not the same as Mbps

Ahh super. I see now. It was Mbps. So it matches now. But my speed from my provider should still be 50 MBps. I will try to use my providers speedtester. If that shows the same I know it is them. Thanks.
