LAN slower than wifi

[derekpbrowne]

Hi all, hope you can help

ISP: Virgin Media on 350Mbps
Windows 10 pc with gigabit NIC connected directly to Virgin Media Superhub 3 via 2m Cat 6 cable
Speedtest app in windows 10 shows DL speed 387.93Mbps
Speedtest.com shows DL speed 120.49Mbps
Actual max download speed 60.23Mbps

All tests done withing a minute of each other

I am struggling to understand why there is such a discrepancy among the numbers above. Why is my actual download speed so much slower that the measured one? And why is there even a difference between using the speedtest app and using speedtest.net. Its very frustrating as I am paying for the 350 connection and only able to utilise a fraction of it .

Can anyone shed any light please?

Make sure you're on the latest BIOS update for your motherboard. Make sure you're on the latest drivers for your Ethernet port.

Just had my ISP engineer out. Spent an hour messing about with router configs etc and even swapped it for his test one but the problem still remained. he left shrugging his shoulders saying its an issue with my pc.

Ive now changed my NIC and ethernet cable again and the problem still remains. There must be something thats throttling my download speed.

Can anyone please suggest something
