Hi, I recently switched to a 1 Gbps internet connection but still couldn’t hit even 900 Mbps. My best result was around 650 Mbps on a CAT8 cable. It turned out my ISP was the issue, as the test engineer’s newer Core i7 machine reached 940 Mbps. I’m using a Core i7-4790K and can run most apps smoothly, but this is the first time I’m questioning its performance. Could my CPU be too slow for gigabit speeds? Thanks.
I can achieve gigabit speeds using a $10 SBC and a Celeron laptop. The issue might be related to your testing approach, the NIC, router, or the cable.
Testing speeds involves checking performance metrics. Running a Linux live disk can help identify if the issue lies with the operating system configuration.
Yeah! Problem with OS... https://www.speedtest.net/result/11226771816 Hit 900 Mbps + on upload and download both.
There might be an issue affecting your Windows 10 performance. Try identifying what's limiting the bandwidth.
I faced a comparable issue with Windows firewall, specifically real-time scanning of downloads. For testing purposes, consider turning off all firewall functionalities that scan files or folders.
