    slower than expected download speeds.


    I have a 10Mbps ADSL internet connection. but even no matter the machine, no matter the app, my download rates seem to be capped at around 600kB/s. if i am doing my calculations right, I should be maxing out at least some of the time at 1250kB/s but this never occurs. The absolute highest I have seen is 600kB/s. I have seen this on Windows XP, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11. My ISP insists I am getting full speeds, and OpenSpeedtest.com seem to confirm this, with results coming at a highest reading of 10.14Mbps Up and 1.25 Down. The speed test on my ISP's website agrees with this result. My Wi-fi netwo

  2. Download speed slower than upload speed

    My Windows 10 desktop has slower download speeds (10Mbps) compared to upload speeds (30Mbps). On other devices connecting to the same router, I can get download speeds of 90+MBps on our 100/40 plan.

    This is true whether I connect with ethernet or wifi.

    I have changed the Windows update settings that limit how much bandwidth is used for downloading updates.

    I have changed the NetworkThrottlingIndex registry setting to ffffff.

    Is there some other Windows setting I can find and change, to improve this?

    Thanks in advance!

  3. 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
