Windows 10: Why is my download speed so bad, but my upload speed is so good?

Hello, I've had a continuious issue amongst all my PC's since I first started building them in 2020. I always have had the best internet, I've always had the best specs, monitors, even gaming routers. But I can't even game, I've struggled constantly with what felt like packet loss. Constant rubber banding, some days its playable. I download things instantly sometimes, then for a month it'll take forever for just a 10mb file. I have Frontier Fiber Optic, CAT8 Ethernet, supports up to 10gb/s speeds although my driver limits it to 2.5gb. I checked my download speed today, and it was less than 100

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

 

Network speed test not showing history or upload speed Windows 10

I just downloaded Network Speed Test from the MS Store but it shows only the download speed. It doesn't show the upload speed nor the history. Any suggestions, anyone?

Good connection/bad connection doesn't affect how quickly electrons move through the internet. In digital systems, either it works or it doesn't.
