Hi, i am having the exact same problem, it started with a win10 update, the speedtest and shows my speed right, i have 60 down 6 up.Īll of the launchers i have, like steam, rockstar, epic, shows download speeds at 8mb/s thats the 60mbps, it just happens in the web browser, i´ve contacted microsoft about this problem, they just say that it´s my ISP but how do you explain that in those launchers the speed is the actual internet speed that i pay for.Īnything that i´ve found in some forums is that flush dns and change it for google´s will fix it, but no. Thanks for the help, I will take a look at the Visual Traceroute software, but the problem does seem to be all day, and not always YouTube, could be sites like Google, Twitter or TradingView that could be extremely slow, while a connection on the same computer via Wi-Fi, is perfect. so you may get only 100 mbps or you may get 1000 mbps, depends on time of day, the server you're uploading to and loads of other things. so imagine 30 people uploading a video each to a computer with a 10g internet connection : that 10000 mbps gets split between those 30, some have fast connections, some slow. they have lots of servers connected to internet with 10g or 25g or 40g network cards, and each of these servers receive videos from multiple people at the same time. You can download Visual Traceroute - to see how your data packets travel across the world to get to the remote machine.Īlso, Youtube may limit uploads on purpose - for example they may limit you to 100 mbps, or 300 mbps. With Youtube or other websites, there may be 20+ devices between you and the website, or your data packets go across the ocean to a datacenter and that fiber cable across the ocean is overloaded with data from others. There's maybe a handful of devices between you and that test server. When you're making a speedtest, you're basically retrieving a file or uploading a file (with random data in it generated on the fly) to a test server that's maybe less than 100 miles/km away from you. Under certain conditions, some fiber optic cables between certain locations can be overloaded and then your traffic gets slown down. Your data goes through multiple routers, switches and servers until it reaches Youtube.Īll the links in the chain must work at high speed in order for you to get fast speed.
