What could be wrong with a desktop PC that would cause it to not get the full internet speed I'm paying for?
If it's slow on both contact your ISP.I'm going to have my sister bring her laptop to test it
How faster are you getting vs what you are paying for? It is cable service? Or something like ADSL/fibre?The cable guy came. It's not my modem or Ethernet cable and I updated my network adapter drivers and still have the problem. Now what?
OK, 280Mbit is ~35MB/s. Are you using the same test?Yes. He showed me on his testing device. He was getting above 250
Very high likelihood he measured it in megaBITS, which is the speed you'll see advertised for internet services. The speed frequently reported by applications for downloading stuff will read in megaBYTES. MB = Megabyte = 8 MegabitsThe tech had a seperate device. The test was on a site called "DSL" something. I can't remember
