Windows 10: Really bad download and upload speed

Hi I'm hoping someone can shed some light. My pc is running Windows 10. The download and upload speed are horrendous 30mbps download and 2-6 upload. My other devices such as a iMac, my and my GFs phone all get around 170mbps download and 20 upload in the same room connected to the exact same network. All updates are done, I've tried connecting it via cable with no change. I've also disabled firewalls, antivirus, changed DNS and still no better. Is there anything I can do? I've got this https://www.awd-it.co.uk/awd-defian...-masterbox-pc-monitor-package-for-gaming.html With a 1tb HDD and a 300mbps WiFi card installed.

Slow Download Speed

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft forums.

• I would suggest you to test the speed using any of the speed test website or app to confirm the upload and download speed.
• I also suggest you to reset the wireless router to check if that helps.
  
• You may plug in the Ethernet cable if available and check the speed.
  

Hope the information is helpful. Feel free to write to us for any other assistance with Windows, we’ll be glad to assist you

 

Sudden large disparity between download & upload speeds.

(First post: Win 10 1809) Hello. I have encountered what seems to me to be a strange phenomenon: Recently upgraded to "1000 Mbps" fiber internet provider. Initial speeds for both download and upload speeds spread across the 900's, with upload speeds consistently a bit higher than download speeds. Yesterday one desktop seemed to have internet connectivity issues. I noted that the desktops Ethernet connection had for some reason adopted the name of one of our wireless routers: What had been "Network 2" was now "(SSID) 2".

This Dell XPS desktop (Win 10 Pro 64b, Version 1809) has both wired and wireless network connections, with the later used to connect to various peripherals. When I checked into Speedtest.net, Download speeds remained in the 900's, but upload speeds dropped below 50 Mbps. I went though various network troubleshooting steps and a number of restarts, this disparity persisted. Other than the lack of a name change to wired network connection, this disparity was also obtained on another desktop on the same network. However, speed checks on iOS tablet reveled no disparity whatsoever, suggesting that the phenomenon is limited to Windows machines.

Given my naive and limited understanding of Windows networking, I was hoping someone might help me to better understand the issue and, perhaps, suggest a fix.
