Windows 10: Low download speed with high internet speed.

When I run an internet speed test, it gives me roughly 25 mbps, but when I download a program, it only downloads at about 3 mbps, while the task manager's wifi monitor shows the same number as the speed test. I tried the solutions in this post Why is my download speed so slow? - Microsoft Community, and that didn't work. I've also factory reset my computer and made sure there were no other programs taking my bandwidth.

Download speed is low

When I am downloading something from the Microsoft Store, Steam or Epic Store, the speed is too low. My Internet speed is 100 MB, so the downloading speed from the Microsoft Store should be about 10MB. But I get about 4 MB. Why is it happening?

 

e52 - High Speed internet

@hadimassa



What you have said is true as well but not going in to the technical details of telecommunication,

from a layman's point of view,

personal observation, my e52 maximum speed is like 48KB/S ( .35 to .5 mb/s) downloading give or take.

Enabling the 3.5G features on the phone does not increase my download speed but instead may be slower.

Using the same GSM provider USB dongle, speeds can be above 1mb/s ADVERTISED UP TOP TO 3.2mb/s. using form the same location



I firmly believe GSM operators lock down the speed to mobile handsets at least in Tmoble (UK)

My brothers 3network speed is way faster.(3.5g)



So I just think if you buy an internet package form them with the high speed enabled you may be able to utilize that speed unless they lock down the Mac address for the USB stick.



But again depends on the area were you are and the availability of such high speed internet.

 

e52 - High Speed internet

I have the same observation, I use t mobile, the 3.5G does not really speed things up. It is even worse than the 3G, so I disabled the high speed internet setting on my e52.



I have a feeling the access to the high speed internet is locked to the USB dongles.

why I think so is that that I have a USB internet dongle that has capacities higher than 3G, but t- mobile does not utilize it,( it is not a branded dongle for t-mobile just using my sim card) but when I put in my sim into my phone it shoes 3.5G but does
not make use of the speed.

So I think it is only when u buy a USB dongle internet package form them that they enable the higher speed.

Maybe if you transfer such a sim to your handset it could use the high speed internet because it was registered already to have that access.
