I have 5.50mb/s downloading speed in Speedtest.net

But when i download something in Steam/Origin/Google Chrome/etc im getting maximum 600kb/s (0.6mb/s) speed

Im using wired connection to my pc! Ethernet

Motherboard: MSI B350 Tomahawk (Installed 1 month ago)
Fresh windows 10 install

You're not converting between the speed ratings.

Internet connections are rated in bits per second. They follow standard SI/metric unit rules, so 1 Gigabit (Gb) = 1,000 Megabits (Mb) = 1,000,000 kilobits (kb) = 1,000,000,000 bits (b).

File downloads & data transfer speeds as shown onscreen by the operating system are rated in terms of bytes. 1 byte (B) = 8 bits (b). However, because computer systems are binary in nature rather...


no i dont have a limit and i set my country server in downloading settings

in all apps where i download i get low speed, that is totally not 5 mb/s
 


You're not converting between the speed ratings.

Internet connections are rated in bits per second. They follow standard SI/metric unit rules, so 1 Gigabit (Gb) = 1,000 Megabits (Mb) = 1,000,000 kilobits (kb) = 1,000,000,000 bits (b).

File downloads & data transfer speeds as shown onscreen by the operating system are rated in terms of bytes. 1 byte (B) = 8 bits (b). However, because computer systems are binary in nature rather then decimal, they are structured such that 1 Gigabyte/Gibibyte (GB/GiB) = 1,024 Megabytes/Mebibytes (MB/MiB) = 1,048,576 kilobytes/kibibytes (kB/kiB) = 1,073,741,824 bytes (B).

So...when your PC's download speeds are hitting a maximum of 600kB/s, that means it's downloading (600 x 1024) = 614,400 bytes/sec, or (614,400 x 8) = 4,915,200 bits/sec, which converts to a connection speed of 4.9152Mb/s. That's roughly 89% of the maximum speed possible for your ISP's connection, so you're not going to get much better than that.
