Download speed issue

[CreativeXtent]

Howdy all. i am having a weird issue. 

 

My speed on speedtest.net are what they are supposed to be 1400/40

https://www.speedtest.net/result/13501040793

 

But i can try to download any file from any website and i am making out at 1300kbs.

I was thinking maybe its just one of the sites, so i started downloading from different websites and it would split the speed between them all...

 

 

any idea?

update on this: it is something on my computer, not sure what.

I switched all cables, ports, router ports etc. i tried to download the same files on my phone on the wifi and its blazing.

But using the wifi on my computer it is still limited.

 

Metering is not turned on either...

did you mean Mbps? or are you really getting 0.1% of your expected download speed?

Assuming you're only missing 100M, check your CPU usage while downloading. Also try running sfc /scannow from an elevated CMD window and reinstalling drivers on your network card.

Finally, sometimes you just get small performance dips. Dropping 8% of speed is a bit annoying, but it's not a disaster. You might try hooking a fan to the side of the modem and router because they tend to be passively cooled and can overheat. If nothing else works you can always reinstall OS.

Nope i meant kb/s lol. that good ol 0.1%

Ran sfc and there were no issues.

watching cpu while downloading, its at 8% with my other apps also running.

Okay... THAT is bad. I assume you've tried windows network troubleshooting? Also of course you've rebooted.

You patch Mobo bios and used proper LAN/WIFI  drivers ? (gotta ask)
You using WiFI or patchcord to connect ?
If you are on patchcord, have you tried the other rj-45 on the back IO?

How old is the router?

Yep, updated bios, put on proper drivers. 

I tried wifi and ethernet. Both are limited only on this computer

Yep using the ethernet on the back of my computer i tried the 1gb port and the 2.5gb port just incase

That's really weird. My next step would be to try on another network.

router is maybe 8 months old. the wifi is separate. it comes from my plumes i alpha and beta test. They are wifi5,6 compatible. 

I can download the files at around the full speed i am supposed to get on the wifi on any other device ( phones, wifes laptop etc. ) just not my computer.

same limit sadly. 

[CreativeXtent]

I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!

 

The dang Killer Network Service for the drivers was limiting the connection....

 

I killed the service and BAM super speed again.

 

So i turned it back on and it limited it self. so i launched the app that controls it and somehow it was set to a max of 12.5MB/s down....
