Receiving only 250 to 450MB with a 1Gb connection is unusual.
You've just switched to gigabit internet with Xfinity. Your PC is only receiving 250 to 450MB, even though the tech team tested over 900MB on their device using your Ethernet cable. It's unclear what might be limiting your connection speed. Consider checking your network settings, router configuration, and whether there are any interference issues.
What's your testing method? Using speedtest.net often limits servers to incomplete 1G connections.
I've checked all the common options I could think of. Speedtest.net, Speak Easy, Google Fiber, the search engine feature, Comcast, AT&T, and others were tried.
I'm in Indianapolis, speedtest.net uses servers here from other gigabit providers, and we're near Chicago too. My OnePlus 6T is running faster on Wi-Fi than on either Ethernet connection. Xfinity connected their handheld to the Cat6 Ethernet cable and achieved over 900 consistently—probably a computer-related issue. I'm about to restart and load a Linux thumb drive to check for software problems.
Amazing! I was surprised too. Running Ubuntu from a USB gave me more than 900MB—definitely not just hardware. Could be something in the software. I haven’t disabled AVAST yet, but I’m not sure what else might be causing it.
Likely caused by a driver issue, to be honest I've used some mediocre Realtek NICs on my Z87 board.
Your processor isn't up to the task. Open Task Manager during use to check for pinning, and run a speed test to confirm CPU strain.
system is changing power usage between 45% and 55% while testing... performance was strong on Linux using a USB stick, indicating the issue likely comes from Windows software.
