Only getting 10 mbps instead of 100 mbps downloadspeed

[ThomasBiesteh]

Hi

I'm paying for 120 mbps internet and I should be getting 100 mbps (that's what it says in my router properties) but I'm only getting 10-20 mbps.. Can anyone help me?

You shoul get 100mbps - 100mega bits per sec(mbps)

OR

around 12 mega Bytes per second(mBps)

ie. 1 byte is 8bits

hope this helps!

Yeah but the problem is that I am not getting the full amount of downloadspeed I am paying for 😛

are you sure you're getting the number right. a big B and a small b are a world of difference

wait wait wait....


your connection will start to say its 100mbps because that is the max bandwidth IT can handle ,not your connection speed

if your bandwith is 10-20mbps you will get 1.25-2.5mBps

eg. it would be useles having a 1gbps(which is the bandwidth) connection on a 100mbps(your router limit) cable

1. Where are you testing this speed at?

2. Are you seeing this wired to the router, or WiFi?

Speedtest.net and on a wired one

Paying for 120, getting 10-20 wired directly to the router...

Either you have a hardware (NIC or router) or driver issue, or there is an issue with the signal from the ISP.

What does the ISP say? Does this happen on any other PC?

I am sure yeah, I get a maximum of 2 mb/s which is 16 mbps. I should be getting way more than that

Could even be a bad cable.

It happens on both pc's I have and we are both using the same cable which is a very one.

What do you mean, "the same cable" ? Not at the same time, right?

Anyway, if it is happening on multiple devices, either it is the router, or upstream (ISP) from that.
What is the router make/model?
What type of connection? Cable/DSL/Fiber.

The same type of cable, not at the same no 😛
The router I'm using is very old (Topcom PowerLan 200, 85 mbps; that is written on my router) so that is probably the cause.
And i am using a cable

I'd suspect the router, then.
