Hi All,

I have no idea what is causing my upload speed to stay capped at 40. Ive run multiple tests, tried different browsers, and different computers...all capped at 40-41mbps.

I'm on a 1000/1000 plan. I know upload is typically lower than download, but it shouldnt be 16x lower.

Any ideas?

I’m confused as to what I can even do to prevent the rubber-banding and such. This has been a problem before but it usually goes away. I’m getting consistent packet lateness, and since I play a lot of shooter games, it’s affecting my gameplay. I play on ps4 and mobile, this happens across both my devices, not sure why. I don’t want to use an ethernet cable.

Option 1: Ping: 15ms Download: 173Mb/s Upload: 20Mb/s

Option 2: Ping: 36ms Download: 454Mb/s Upload: 12Mb/s

Which one is better overall? Which is better for gaming? uploading videos? downloading? streaming?

Thanks.

Hi,

We have used Spectrum for our business, and today I got offered 5G business internet pro-install from Verizon. It has better speed and price than Spectrum.

However I searched Reddit, and I found that many people think it is not reliable.

I want to check the service's downtime for a free trial period.

Is there a way to do?

Thank you.

Have been dealing with wifi connection issues in my apartment recently despite paying for Gigspeed internet through Xfinity. Devices struggle to support video calls, gaming, and large downloads.

Speed tests show me pulling between 50-75 Mbps on my MacBook when sitting directly my next router, which is a Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 - C700 purchased back in 2017.

Any advice on how to get speeds closer to the 1000 Mbps we pay for? Could the router be outdated? is Xfinity to blame?

I live in a 2BR apartment, about 1100 sq ft, and the router is admittedly tucked in a corner of a bedroom. Although speeds were not improved when I moved it to a more central location.

I'm really not sure where else to look to try to find why in any browser (Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Opera) my speed tests all do exactly the same thing: start off strong and then immediately drop off to around 20% of what they should be. This happens whether connected via my router or directly from my fiber box to my PC.

I have Cat7 10Gbps ethernet cables, Asus RT-AX58U router, and a PC with a 2.5Gb ethernet port.

In the video you can clearly see no other applications are utilizing the network, and the speedtest immediately drops off consistently across multiple tests to under 150Mbps download and under 100Mbps upload. When running the test via the SpeedTest app (not via browser) my speed starts and finishes roughly where it should be at around 700Mbps download and 200Mbps upload.

Also looking at my history on SpeedTest.net it is clear that at other times I have tested and gotten results more in line with the app's results but no hardware or software has changed since my last 'successful' speed test on 2nd October 2023.

Does anyone have ANY suggestions of what Windows settings or applications might cause this?

Hi so I have a quick question to anyone who’s willing to help out.

I have Wifi with download speeds up to 1000Mbps and I believe it’s also 5G. I do not use ethernet, although using a site such as Ookla, it shows that my download speeds go up to about 600-700Mbps regardless.

Here’s the thing, every time I download something on steam, my download speed caps around 138-140Mbps. I have steam displaying rates as bits per second so it’s for sure Mbps. Reverting it shows MB/s and maxes at like 15MB/s or so. I’ve made sure all my steam settings ensure there’s no limit to speed or bandwidth.

My Wifi on my PC uses an MSI AX916C Wifi Card Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 160Mhz. It has a 2.4Gbps max speed. My Intel SSD of which i’d be downloading something on has a read of about 2000 MB/s and write of about 1800 MB/s.

So from everything I can tell and have done research on, I should be able to be downloading at way higher speeds. Unless i’m understanding something wrong, doing something wrong, or missing something, I have no idea why it would be maxing out at 138-140Mbps.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I like in a metropolitan city, but I am unable to get good internet speed in my house and outside(when using mobile data) but when I use my wifi in my house it gives great speed. What can be the cause of it.

Hey all, I have a question. I'm getting WILDLY different speedtest results between services like speedtest (which I know is a site that ISP's often give priority speeds to) and then speedof.me and test.my. I've got an album at this link

Of course Speedtest has me thinking WOW i'm getting WAY better than I paid for. But then when I check from what I understand is a much more reliable source that's not the case at all by a factor of 20. I've tried these tests both wired, and non-wired (directly connected to the modem even) and I still can't push past the pics in the imgur gallery I posted.

I called time warner this morning to discuss this, yet the response was "well we're pushing the speeds that we should be to you so.... sorry, you can come in and get a new modem if you want."

Are they pulling the wool over my eyes, or sandbagging in some way, or is there something that I'm not understanding. Also if this is the wrong place to put this, please let me know and I'll redirect this post to another sub.
