Hi, you're using an SFP to Ethernet setup then connecting directly to your PC. During testing with Okla, you saw gigabit speeds, but in Task Manager you're seeing 95 Mbps and Epic Games 60 MB/s. Your network is at 100% utilization, yet the speed matches what you expect. Your cable is a Cat 6 at about 6 meters. It seems the issue might be with your network card or software configuration rather than the cable itself. Check for driver updates or compatibility issues with Intel I211.

The game store limits the amount of data it sends at once, sharing it among all users in the same server location. Download speed is therefore mainly influenced by the server's load from Epic.

It's clear they're offering a well-known game for free, so their systems will face intense pressure like never before.

I’d really appreciate hearing more about what you’re experiencing. It seems like you might be paying more than expected for your services, and your speed limit is quite low. Maybe you could take a break and enjoy something simple while you wait?

It's not just that the content is limited—torrent is too! The issue is that I need it for work too. I'm going to stop paying for 1gbps when I can afford 500 mbps. What's odd is that even Windows says it's fully loaded! It's not epic!

You can now download at 60MB per second without affecting other activities. This is the price you're receiving, not just a quick speed boost for one file.
