Even if I'm the ONLY device using the internet, it still is only like 1/5 of what my speeds should be. I've made sure that Windows isn't downloading a huge update or anything, so not sure what could be causing this.
Any advise?
This post makes me feel young again when i like you was perplexed at the weird anomaly's of download speeds.
MB = Megabytes
Mb = Megabits
1MB = 8Mb
Your internet will be 500Mb/s - This roughly match's the 50MB/s shown on steam once you allow for router QoS and other network traffic.
