Windows 10: Very slow upload speed

Hi, I've been dealing with this issue for the last 6 days. It is extremely weird and at this point I'm about to give up. Randomly my internet started having issues so I checked the ookla speedtest, which said my download speed is great about 40Mbps, but my upload speed wouldn't go above 0.6 . I've looked at countless forums to look for answers but nothing has helped. I have 2 wifi networks, 1 is a 5g one, and the other is a normal. When I switch between networks the internet fixes itself for around 20 seconds and then it stops again. I have tried reinstalling windows, updating drivers, trying to go back to a previous windows version didn't work, uninstalling windows management instrumental service, I've checked my router for issues, I've talked with the provider, I've renewed my IP adress, I've tried complete network reset, tried ethernet but nothing seems to work. The internet is bad for some time and then it randomly becomes normal again for a day or so and then it goes back to bad. I don't have such problems on my other devices, on my phone my upload speed is almost 100MBps. And when I set up a hotspot from my phone I have a stable network connection. So I know the problem isn't in my router, isn't in my provider, isn't a hardware problem since I have good connection when I share internet from phone, and isn't some kind of virus I reinstalled windows into factory settings. The only problem seems to be just between my computer and my home wifi, and I can't do anything to fix it. I'd be beyond grateful if I get some help. Thank you!

Slow upload speed

I have a cable service which is supposed to provide download speed of 300 Mbps and upload speed of 20 Mbps. My PC is connected to the service providers modem via an ethernet cable. I recently had a problem with both speeds being ultra low. A technician
visited and traced the problem to a broken copper wire tip on the input cable to the modem. He cut the end off the cable and crimped a new connector on. He ran some tests presumably to check that no other faults existed, reconnected the cable to the modem
and both speeds ran within the correct ranges.

The next day I decided to run a speed test and the download speed was fine but the upload speed was very low (down to 1.9 Mbps).

being curious I disconnected the infeed cable to the modem and checked the new connection. Everything looked fine so i reconnected the cable and ran another speed test. Both speeds were back up where they should be.

The next day I ran another speed test and the upload speed was low again. This time disconnecting and reconnecting the input cable to the modem did not resolve the problem.

Sorry for being so long winded here but my technical knowledge is rather limited and I prefer not to play with things I do not understand, but my question, "should I be concerned about the slow upload speed?" It does not appear to be causing any great problem
but the technician who visited did indicate that a slow upload speed could cause other problems with the modem, such as it automatically rebooting itself. This has occurred twice since the slow upload speed came back.

Other than going back to the service provider and waiting until they can send another technician out, is there anything I can do myself to resolve the problem?

 

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
