To run my tests, I usually use this Brazilian website, but they are consistent with any other well-known testing websites.
I can reach the nominal speeds and even higher on every test I do, when using:
- Windows 10 (both thru wired and wireless connection), and
- Linut Mint 20.1 (only thru wireless connection)
- Download: 32 Mbps (thirty two only)
- Upload: 175 Mbps
I also tried with a different web browser (use Brave but also tried with Firefox) and had exactly the same results.
As I said, on Windows (both wireless and wired connections), my connection speed is perfect and so it is on Linux when using my wireless adaptor. So I have no idea of how this could happen only to my download ethernet speed.
Does anyone have any idea of what is going on here? Any insight would be much appreciated.
I will post some system info that could help:
