Why low speeds? [UK]

[OhGodDannit]

Hi all, I'll start by explaining my set up.

I have my PC in an office about 15m from my front room. I have a cable running from my BT HH5 to my pc, and a cable running from the HH to a D-Link 320 NAS.
There's also other PC's connected to the hub via cable too.

My problem is that even though the HH is a terrible router, it's still gigabit. So why are my transfer speeds from my PC to the NAS maxing at around 25MBps. I'd expect a bit of loss, but there should be another 100MBps somewhere?
I've been testing with a 15GB video file that I have so I know it's not a case of it 'getting upto' that speed.

Help? Where am I being stupid?

isn't the bandwidth you're getting from bt 25mps?

Are you sure you haven't plugged that cable into a 10/100/1000 port?

I'm on fiber, and this is all locally. I can pull my 79mbps down with no problem.

To test if it is either the pc/nas or the router is the problem, directly connect the pc and the nas (you will have to get ips and subnet mask manualy). Than test, if it is up to speed it is the HH.

It is on the LAN not anything to do with the WAN connection.

PC or router? Because.. maybe.. probably..

gosh damn (my family only has 25mps but we live in a village btw)

all connection need to support gigabit for it to be gigabit, else it will be the slowest, as that one is a bottleneck.

I know. That's why I said it's all locally. Thanks though.

6.5 down, 0.5 up.

for me

Yeah, I suppose i'll have to. Thanks.

It is, NAS, PC and Router are all Gb.

6.5 down isn't bad. I got upto 9.2 on Steam the other day. Was giddy.

ports, cables, driver, anything. ok.

 

I'll have a think...

I talk about transfer speeds in mbps and not MB/s. I would be so happy to get 52mbps (=6.5MB/s) but i get 6.5mbps (=812KB/s).

 

btw, data transfer is measured in bit per second (bps) and data storage is measured in byte (so you may say B/s) (1B = 8b)

Wait...mpbs and mb/s aren't the same thing? I though I had good internet but if it's only 12.5mb/s then I guess not...I work in Mbps too but I always just assumed that they were the same thing

there is bits and bytes - b and B - 8b = 1B

there is bps and (not really real) B/s - 8bps = 1B/s

bit are lower case and byes are upper case. e.g

mbps                    and MB/s

they are written as above.
