Hello, Your download speeds seem inconsistent—often around 100 kb/s or less despite claiming a 1 gigabit connection. Task Manager shows closer to 1 Mb/s, and even the game launcher reports only a few kb/s. The 1000 MB/s you expect isn’t being reached. Are you using the right settings or is there something else affecting performance? Thanks for sharing your observations.

Your network configuration refers to the link with your router, not your internet speed. Which rates are you currently using?

You're unsure about your router's capabilities, but it might be displaying them to you.

Yes, you can check with your parents about their internet billing. Since they’re not very tech-savvy, simply asking them directly is the easiest way to find out.

Reach out to your internet service provider; they’ll likely request your address and the name on the contract before explaining your plan. This seems like a solid starting point. Other issues might arise later, but let’s begin here.

I’ll discover that too, but there must be a method to determine your maximum download speed without contacting them.

No, you must pay for X and your ISP manages it. You should reach out to them during this time. Could you clarify: Are you linked to the router via a cable or Wi-Fi? Do you rely on powerline if using a cable or Wi-Fi extenders? How much distance separates you from the router?

I’m using Cat 6 wiring and am roughly five meters away from the router. I also employ an adapter to bridge the gap, allowing the extension cable I have to reach the router. The cable I’m currently using for this extension is Cat 5e.

The issue is that you can't obtain a reliable reading on the internet in any other way. No matter how you try, you'll still see the 100 kb/s speed you mentioned, and you won't be able to identify the problem. If you're using a cable connection, consider changing the port your modem or router is connected to (some ISPs restrict certain ports, though this is uncommon). You might also want to test with a different cable to rule out a physical issue. It's possible your modem/router has a data limit set for general use, not just for specific ports. You'll need to connect to your router and check its settings. This process isn't straightforward as it varies between devices. If the problem persists, contact your internet service provider and consider reaching out to tech support for further assistance.

It looks like you want to discuss the issue with your ISP. Would it help if I suggested a few ports be busy before trying any changes?
