  2. 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

    Slow download speed fast upload on Ethernet.

    Hi

    If a website has a slow server, a fast internet connection may be experienced but may have very slow download speeds. Download speed will be affected with the website server as it also impact your internet connection speed.

    You may try a test with other websites and check the results with the website that you are experiencing slow download speed.

    Meanwhile, kindly click on this link and find the post created by Santos_Rai

    Kindly post back and share with us the result.

    Slow downloading speed

    Hi,

    Are you on a laptop or a desktop?

    Is the computer plugged in to charger when downloading? (laptop)

    The download speed has as much to do with the website server where you are downloading a file from as it does with your internet connection speed.



    You can have a very fast internet connection, but experience very slow download speeds if the website has a slow server. This could be caused by very heavy traffic on that server or it may just be a slow server.



    One thing you can do to check is to go to the following website and check your speed.

    Speedtest.net:

    Speedtest by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test

    Try several different test websites there to see the different download/upload speeds.

    Compare the results with the website where you are seeing the slow downloads.
