Still facing a limit of 550mbps even with a gigabit fiber connection.
Still facing a limit of 550mbps even with a gigabit fiber connection.
I noticed something unusual. After checking, the performance seems consistent across different tasks. The download speeds are strong, but uploads are lower than expected. I ran stress tests and still saw similar results on YouTube, Google Drive, and file sharing apps. My upload speeds stay around 350-450 Mbps, not spiking as I thought. I’ve confirmed the drivers are correct and the cable/fiber setup looks fine. It might just be a minor issue with network congestion or how my system handles spikes during uploads. The downloads run smoothly, so it’s probably not related to bandwidth limits.
It must be challenging with so much available time and delays. Probably not a personal problem, but rather a challenge at the upload endpoint.
When accessing files from a hard drive, your performance is constrained by the drive's read speed. The Task Manager indicates E: at 21% activity, suggesting the location where you're reading the file. Consider using HD Tune Pro to check the actual read speed—it changes based on the file's position on the disk and the level of fragmentation. Similarly, a remote server might restrict your upload rate because it must transfer data to storage, such as a network connection shared among many users. For example, a 10-gbps link could serve multiple clients, each pulling from the same source, potentially boosting throughput. If you're sending files to YouTube, Google Drive, and another location simultaneously, your speed will reflect the combined demands. If all data comes from an SSD or RAM drive, performance should be more consistent and higher.
No, taking another moment doesn't matter. I'm happy with the result, but I wonder why it's not balanced—maybe the search engine is highlighting its features.
I attempted to upload using my Samsung SSD 860 EVO, but it only shows a save result. I've tried doing this on both YouTube and Google Drive simultaneously, though the results remain low—YouTube around 350-450, Google Drive about 400-430, combined roughly 380-520.
Moved to the networking area. Make sure you're joining the right subforum for fresh discussions instead of general chats.
Consider using speedtest.net with single-threaded testing, as this matches real-world upload behavior. If results are poor, revisit the task manager but view CPU usage per logical processor to identify if a single core is being overwhelmed. Remember you're probably sharing bandwidth with others; contention during uploads is unlikely unless multiple users are active at once, which usually affects downloads more than uploads.
It might be due to restrictions at your end, but more likely it's related to the connection between you and the server you're uploading to. Is the server you're using on the AT&T network close to you? If not, after your data leaves their network, it becomes the responsibility of other providers and whatever restrictions they impose. The internet isn't a single unified system; it's a collection of networks linked together.
Your speed test indicates this result isn’t accurate. Why do so many services claim unlimited bandwidth? They’d only offer it if you’re bound by a contract promising that limit. Otherwise, they might cap it at a lower rate like 5kb/s, but you wouldn’t be entitled to more than that. The real issue is understanding why providers would provide such benefits—how would this help them?
