Posted July 28, 2020 I have this router from a long time called " NPLAY - Dual-band router (gigabits) " which offers to 1 GB of internet, but I only get 10mbps. Now, I made an ookla sp eed test and it said this: My PC specs are fairly modern: Intel core i7-7700HQ, GTX 1050TI, 8gb or ram, windoes 10 pro, etc. I don't believe, that my pc bottlenecks the internet, but sadly I still don't know. Later, I checked deeped into the PC : Hmm, so i get 10mbps downloading, 145.26 mbps downloading from ookla and 1gbps deep into my settings. Now, i tried downloading again >>>> Well... 10.3 mbps as always What should I do?? My internet IS right next to me! there;re no obstacles! With ethernet its the same My carrier is NetWorx Please, help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted July 28, 2020 you do realize that steam measures in megabytes per second by default instead of megabits per second. a megabit is 1/8 of a megabyte G502 Lightspeed Review PC: Spoiler i5-6400 GIGABYTE GA-H110M-DS2 CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX 2X4 DDR4-2666MHz ASUS ROG STRIX-GTX 1060-O6G SEAGATE 2TB HDD FUJISTU F300 240GB SSD CORSAIR CX750M Laptop: Spoiler Acer Nitro 5 i5 8300h GTX 1050 4Gb 12 Gb RAM 128 Gb SSD 1 Tb HDD Peripherals: Spoiler Keyboard: Logitech G310 Atlas Dawn (Romer G) Rexus Legionare MX5.1 (Content Browns) Mice: Logitech G602 Logitech G502 Lightspeed Steelseries Rival 105 Logitech M330 Headset: Logitech G430 Cooler Master MH 752 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 28, 2020 To add to what was said above, what internet speeds do you pay for? Just because your Ethernet port on your computer is capable of handling 1Gbps, doesn’t mean that’s what you will get, you will still get what you pay for.

Posted July 28, 2020 Steam isn't known for having a high download speed (fast downloads require a fast connection from the sender and receiver), but Steam also measures in megabytes, not megabits, which Ookla does. A megabit is 1000 kilobits, while a megabyte is 1024 kilobytes. Quote or mention me or I won't be notified of your reply!

A megabit is 1000 kilobits, while a megabyte is 1024 kilobytes. You're backwards here.. steam measures in megaBYTES... while almost everything else is measured in megaBITS... 8 bits = 1 byte.
