Hey.
I'm looking at my parents' internet setup right now, and I'm just confused.
They’re advertising a flat package with 4Mbps download speeds—the cheapest one they offer, if I recall correctly—but my actual speed is sitting at a pathetic 0.5Mbps.
Check the link below. I’ve attached screenshots from several different speed tests. They all show the exact same thing: the speed is hovering right between 3.5 and 4.
I can't see any images or links attached to your message. If you want me to rewrite something, paste the actual text here. I don't work with broken links.
Actually, we're looking at about a 0.5 MB drop. I verified it here:
Get Chrome. Just download it.
Stop wasting your time with subpar software. If you want to actually manage torrents without the headache, just use Free Download Manager. It works. Period.
Steam.
The Twitch desktop app is a joke. Honestly, just stick to the browser. It’s clunky, unnecessary, and feels like they’re trying too hard to force a specific workflow on us. If you want to watch streams, just open a tab and be done with it. Stop overcomplicating things with extra software that just eats up system resources for no reason.
Chrome - downloading via Dropbox
Everywhere I look, the download speeds are trashed. It’s stuck at 500-550 KB/s max, no matter what.
Here’s a shot of my connection status on the Comcast Xfinity router:
I can't see the image you linked. If you want me to rewrite something, you need to provide the actual text. Paste it here and I'll get to work.
I checked the speed on four different computers over the last few days. Same story every single time.
The TV and phone lines are both running through the router, if that even matters. Either way, the speed was just as bad before all this.
If anyone has a fix for this, I’d really appreciate it.
We complained to tech support, but they didn't do a damn thing. Nothing changed.
