I recently received a 1000 Mbps internet connection, but my speed test only shows 100 Mbps. Since I’m plugged directly into the router using a Cat 6 Stranded UTP cable, it’s puzzling why it doesn’t reach the full potential when I have such a high bandwidth available.

Check if your PC and router support those high speeds. Some connections can only go up to 100Mbps.

According to @FloRolf, a megabit equals eight times smaller than a megabyte. This could affect how you perceive your connection speed. With 1000 Mbps, the maximum you can achieve is around 125 MBps.

That's Megabit for you. All of them.

You'd confirm it by checking the details or seeking confirmation from others.

Refers to megabits per second in data transmission.

Network settings > Adapter properties > Right-click Ethernet adapter > Check speed label. If it shows 1.0Gbps, your issue may lie elsewhere. Which router model are you using?

Are you certain about the speed? It might actually be a slower 100Mbit connection. Many routers include a power-saving option that restricts certain ports to that bandwidth. Could you tell me what motherboard you're running?
