Windows 10: Download Speed Under 1 MBPS

Hello, I am currently having an issue with my PCs download speed. I have tried wi fi and ethernet, but all of the following things I have tried have been while connected via ethernet to my router.

My xfinity plan is for 200mbps download speed.

My Iphone 7 gets 189mbps on speedtest

My PC is getting 4-8mbps on speedtest.

When I am downloading on steam my download speed is ranging from 200 kb - 1.1 mb per second.

I tried doing the following: windows key + R cmd ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew

and my download speed peaked at 21 mbps and then gradually went back down to 1.1 mbps over the next 20 seconds or so.

I updated the drivers for my Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller and this also made my download speed on steam peak at 21 mbps and then gradually go back down to 1.1 mbps.

I checked for windows 10 updates in general and there none available.

Below are my specs:

Processor AMD Ryzen 7 1700 Eight-Core Processor, 3000 Mhz, 8 Core(s), 16 Logical Processor(s) Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 16.0 GB Total Virtual Memory 20.6 GB Product Type Microsoft Kernel Debug Network Adapter Name [00000001] Qualcomm QCA61x4A 802.11ac Wireless Adapter Name [00000002] Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller AMD Radeon (TM) RX 580 OK

Let me know if there is anything else I can provide. I don't understand why my download speed is maxing out at 1 MBps.

Slow download speed after creating Hyper-V External Virtual Switch


Hello.
After buying a new PC (its specs are on my profile), enabling Hyper-V and creating a new External Virtual Switch, I notice that the download speed drops dramatically. My internet conneciton is 1Gbps down and 200Mbps up.

Without External Virtual Switch:

• Speedtest (I get 944 Mbps download, and 214 Mbps upload) --> Speedtest.net by Ookla - My Results
• CPU usage while on Speedtest (no core is maxed out):

• Iperf with a host on the same LAN (upload 911Mbps, download 777Mbps):

• Lan Speed test (746 Mbps upload and 716 Mbps download):

With External Virtual Switch:

• Speedtest result (I get 378 Mbps download and 212 Mbps upload) --> Speedtest.net by Ookla - My Results

• CPU usage while on Speedtest (notice the first core is fully maxed out):

• Lan Speed Test (742 Mbps upload and 596Mbps download):

• Iperf with a host on the same LAN (upload 861 Mbps, download 583 Mbps):

• CPU usage while on Iperf (download) - Notice, once again, Core 1 fully maxed out​:

Conclusion

When the External Virtual Switch is enabled, I assume the download speed is lower due to the fact one CPU core is being maxed out, my question is why? Why isn't the load spread throughout the cores?
Is anyone experiencing a similar issue?

Regards.

UK Internet Speed Question

Hello, I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the correct area but was wondering about Internet speeds in the UK . Basically my friends get an average download speed of 90+ Mbps, whereas I get at most 10
Mbps. We only live a few miles apart, why is this? My friends are with Virgin and I am with Sky. Cheers!

Have you set the number of cores to 8 in hyer-v settings (virtual processor). No idea otherwise.
