The Networking subforum seems ideal for this discussion. Ethernet connections typically reach about 940mbps in theory, though actual speeds can differ due to several factors. Performance varies based on server capabilities, network path, your PC's load, download method, and more. Many game clients measure in megabytes per second rather than megabits per second because they don’t care about end users’ frustrations with ISP support. In your situation, 60MBps translates to roughly 480mbps, which matches your Speedtest results closely enough. The difference lies in what you expect versus what the data shows. There’s no assurance of steady speeds between your devices and others; you must optimize your own hardware and local network. For details on Ethernet cable standards, check the Wikipedia page on Category 6 cables. To understand how the internet functions, explore Cloudflare’s learning resources on network routing.
Thanks for the detailed feedback. After updating your DNS to 1.1.1.1, the speedtest now shows 920Mb. I’ve observed fluctuating download speeds—100, 80, 60, 50, 20, then back to 0—before restarting again at 100. It seems this pattern might be related to server-side issues rather than my local connection. Could be a problem with the server hosting the content or even the network cables, possibly due to copper quality or ISP limitations.
