I checked the Ookla speed test and found about 950Mbps, which matches my gigabit plan. I understand the difference between megabits and megabytes, so my actual download is roughly 70-80MBps. Right now, while downloading Black Ops 3 on Steam, it’s only giving 30MBps. I checked Task Manager and saw it’s using just 30% of my network speed. On Windows 11, there seems to be no built-in option to fully prioritize one app for downloads—though I’m not sure if a workaround exists. Let me know if you’d like more details!
This metric isn't used because you successfully achieved a gigabit connection via browser speed test. That indicates you can reach at least gigabit ethernet to your PC, which translates to around 300Mbps based on the download speed. It also suggests your ISP might be throttling certain connections—something Comcast is often known for.
You calculate the theoretical limit by dividing 947 megabits by 8, which gives around 118 megabytes per second. Your current setup handles 560 megabits, resulting in roughly 70 megabytes per second via Steam, though performance varies with each game. It seems reasonable to you.
It seems the performance is likely constrained by CPU or disk speed, not the network connection.
