Ethernet thingys

Go to solution Solved by Vitalius,

Nope. Not how the internet works.

Basically, your download speed is decided by your internet plan which is given to you by your ISP. Your download speed is almost certainly not 1 Gbps. That's how fast your ethernet port on your motherboard likely is.

1 Gbps is 125 MBps (note the capital b ). If you aren't already downloading things at 125 MBps, then you won't get a speed increase from multiple ethernet ports.

Okay so i'm kind of a noob in this department, But if I were to add a network card that would add say 2 more ethernet plugs and connected all 3 (Motherboard and the 2 on the card) Would it increase my download speed? Or am I just being a total noob at this? ^.^

(thanks everyone in advance)

Wow, yes it does. You're a liar. This guy in the video says it works, so it must be legit and you're a liar.
