Download Speed Issue

[KiddKlean24]

I've done several download speed tests and consistently get around 9-10Mbps on the tests however when I try to download games through Origin (or rather anything) i get less than half the speed. Can Someone help?

Probably ISP throttling. (Idk maybe your ISP has some fine print agreement where they have peak speeds vs continuous speeds.)

Mbps (megaBIT per sec) is not the same as megabyte (MB)

Divide mb by 8, thats how maby MB you will get

Thats why when you get a service package of 50/50 your max download/upload speed is really ~6 megabytes

I know about megabit vs byte but when i do the speed test i get 9-10 megabit per second but when i download games its 3-5 megabits per second

 

BTW i have att uverse at 45mbps with isp throttling

origin shows MByte just like Steam and pretty much every downloader

i have 25 down and origin caps at the same.
It is origin side, and it speeds up when you are downloading a beta game vs a full title. Nothing you can do.

as reartype said, origin and most other downloaders show speed in MegaByte
