  1. Something on my pc is limiting my download speed


    So i had this problem for a few days now but i've only recently noticed it when i tried to download something from steam. My download speed caps at 1.5 mbps. I have a 1000 mbps plan from my internet provider so i found that weird so i ran a speed test. The results: Download speed under 15 Mbps while upload speed reaches 500 mbps 500 mbps upl is normal .

    I run a few tests with the internet provider support and the problem is not comming from them. I ran a speed test on another laptop i own and the Download and Upload speed both reach 500 mbps.

    My take, something on this pc is limiting my Download speed, probably something installed with an windows update as the download speed was fine before. never really had problems with downloading

    After googling for hours and trying various things, i still haven't found a solution, so my last option is writing this post in hopes someone can help.

    :)

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds

  3. download speed is limited

    hi there

    I've been noticing a limit download speed which doesn't exceed 1.4 mb/s, it used to reach 5mb/s

    if I download two files at the same time it splits the speed evenly

    I updated my windows couple of days ago

    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
