I ran my Internet connection through SpeedTest.net which claims that it finds out the actual Internet speed, much lower than that promised by my ISP.

- Why Is My Upload Speed Faster Than Download Utorrent
Why is my upload speed higher than download speed? My upload speed in uTorrent is triple or even 4 times faster than the download speed. Upload or download. Jan 22, 2019 - How fast is 10 Mbps; Does Internet speeds vary throughout the day. Is it worth changing. Usually the download speed is much greater than the upload speed (ADSL). Q- My Internet connection is slow what is the reason? Check your speeds with different devices. If one is significantly faster, you might have a hardware or software issue with your device rather than an Internet problem. Faster upload speeds are the future. The last option for getting better upload speeds is just to wait.
But—while downloading—the speed is much lesser than the test results. Even after using download mangers like Internet Download Manager, there isn’t much difference.
Are some background apps consuming my Internet bandwidth? If so, how can I divert all of the bandwidth towards one application?
Jun 27, 2018 Download should nearly always be faster than upload as the band for upload is much smaller than the band for download. I would reckon that you are quite far from your telephone exchange and live in a busy neighbourhood. When testing directly into the router and modem (two separate devices) the speeds are closer and are around the 40-50 mbps range. My question is that the speed I should expect even when hardwired, and why is upload faster than download only over wifi? Thanks for you help! Router: Belkin N600 wireless router. Modem: Xfinity Wireless Gateway 3.
Apr 08, 2008 Best Answer: Wow, these other readers have no clue. The answer to this question is call your ISP. Internet service provider. If you have DSL, distance matters a lot! Most of the time upload is a fraction of the download speed.

Are you sure you got control of BITS and BYTES?
When testing your speed with speedtests online, you're measuring BITS per second. When downloading files, your speed is in BYTES per second. As there is 8 bits in a byte - Your download speed 'should' equal your speedtest-result /8.
![What What](/uploads/1/2/6/0/126062728/720992178.jpg)
Getting 8mbps on speedtest, would give you 1MB/s download-speed.
Also check your sources. (Local-FTP???)You should also run different speedtests to verify a result. You will almost never get a 100% correct answer by running a speedtest, but it will give you a pointer.
To answer the question - there is software to monitor your computers bandwidth use, but it's not likely that's the culprit.
My guess is mixed terminology if you say the speed is 5 times higher on speedtest.
Addition: I just did a speedtest on speedtest.net. In my example, I 'should' get a download speed of 32,5MB/s. Now - with that speed there are other things limiting downloads (like disk-speed+++) but it should give me a pointer of what I could expect with hardware that supports it.

To test your ACTUAL download speed, you can go to http://speedtest.tweak.nl/.
It generates a binary file on-the-fly, so no matter how fast your line, you will always get what is possible with YOUR connection, not limited by the remote server.

For traffic monitoring you could use one of the many free network monitors out there, to find out, which application produces how much traffic.
As for bandwith shaping, I do not know any free/open software that does this; they all cost money, afaik.

FrankPlease run this and upload its complete output to skydrive or some file sharing service

You might want to re-install the network drivers as they sometimes become corrupt.
You also might want to re boot the router and all pc-s at the same time

I loaded them to skydrive and put the files in the 'public' area. I have never used skydrive before but I think I get the hang of it. In the Eventwr, I saw a lot of errors and problems, I never knew existed, I am going to do some research on them.
Please let me know if you see what's causing this as I may look into it but have no clue as to what I'm looking at. This type of a problem is new to me.
Thank you very much for your help.

EDIT: I take it back, The two main problems I saw a lot of are that I have manually disconnected my Ethernet cable and I also tried to get information off of an old hard drive that was damaged, that is where my 'warnings and errors' came from in the event viewer.

My Intel(R) 82583V Gigabit Network Connection reads Driver Date: 6/18/2012 which I just re-installed a few minutes before making this post. Even after installing it, my speeds have not changed. However I did notice something which might explain everything.
I brought my brothers computer which also has windows 7 and his brand new laptop he just bought from HP, both computers have a quad core processor with more than 2.5 ghz, plenty of ram. They both get very slow speeds just like mine, I am beginning to believe that windows 7 does not perform as great as windows xp when it comes to this downloading speed.
Heck, his desktop pc is only 3 months old and his laptop he got his kid for xmas, I checked them both out myself and they seem to be in good working condition, it is just that windows xp is better for fast internet speeds.
If this is the case, is there a way I can run my windows 7 pc is xp mode for faster download speed? If so then how? I have never tried to do that before, I am just confused on where to go from here.
PS: I like your name ZigZag, an old buddy of mine has the nickname Zig, I've always called him Zig Zag. haha
Thanks again!

As far as I know I havent heard of win 7 being slower than XP. It actually should be a bit faster.
Some shots in the dark.
Have you talked to your ISP?
What malware application is in win 7, and on XP?
What router are you using?

Even when I uninstalled malware bytes, it didn't affect my speed. My isp is full of morons, they have been out here to 'fix' my speed many times but no use (after they tried to fix it I realized my speed is fine on my xp computer). My isp has told me that they use at&t's lines somewhere down the road and that the lines tend to get full slowing everybody's internet speed at times, but that doesn't explain what is going on here.

go to google.com and type in 'slow download fast upload win7' you will get pages and pages of websites / forums talking about this problem.

Here is one observation that I have discovered recently. I have (or had) the same problem with a slow Win 7 Ult. 64bit download/fast upload. My wife's XP ran at 70Mbps, while mine ran at a painful 3-5Mbps. I tried everything like everybody else to solve it. However, recently her computer died and we disconnected it for fixing/replacement. I suddenly noticed my speeds jumped up to 70Mbps without changing anything.
Is it possible that her XP was slowing the network down and sucking up all the bandwidth (or something to that effect)? I've noticed that most people here have an XP or Vista machine running simultaneously with their Win 7 machine. Maybe it's just me, but I believe there is some conflict between the systems, or am I way off here?

Hey, I've had a similar problem as well but this did work for me, for a while at least.
Control Panel.
System.
right click network adapter.
advanced tab.
Scroll down to 'Speed & Duplex' and change from auto to 1.0 Gbps Full Duplex.
Dsl Upload Speeds
As I said, 'it DID work for me' but although my speed is once again up to a manageable level (19 Mbps my upload speed is at 11 Mbps on speed test.net but 44 Mbps download and 9 Mbps on bt whole sale speed test) there may well still be something wrong.
TAP3 test fixed it aswell but only for a short period of time.
hope this helps,
Roddy
