Speedtest also reports a little over Monkey The water might flow at the same speed but one carries far more water (data) then the other.

It's like water flowing thru a 1 inch pipe and a 1 foot pipe. Secondly downloading speed isn't the same as bandwidth. I'd start by using not your ISP's own speed test as those are often not accurate and skewed to give higher results. ( do tell this to the isp you have, this haapend to few and i dont know why, its very hard to ID and help other with so many possibilities, ( network trouble shooting actual require a working pc and layer 1-7) it can be complicated as hell. Maybe even get own isp help also, because sit and wait for steam and if they say work as intended then only the ISP you have can take debat up with steam/ help you in what happend here. I also tried setting it to San Jose, but it isn't any better.Ĭontact steam support, im not sure what this is about, they are saying on some post on wrong server ( again not a choise you did i think), maybe this is same or with your ISP or steams isp or steam ( rerouting ) because as you point out work with other clients ( but not with steam )Īnd as long you test this and for bad packets, the problem is out of your reach. The server is set to Sacramento which is the one closest to me. Xfinity's speed test shows I'm getting about 900mbps, but when I try to download a Steam game I'm getting roughly 30 MBs a second when it should technically be closer to 100 MBs (games are downloaded onto an SSD so I don't think drive device is an issue). This is the second time in a year that Comcast’s program is getting a speed bump: it was upgraded from 15Mbps in March of last year.Ĭomcast upgrading its cheapest plans to 50 / 5Mbps is somewhat of a rebuke to former FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, who last month claimed that 25 / 3Mbps speeds are “an appropriate measure by which to assess whether a fixed service is providing advanced telecommunications capability.” It seems even Comcast disagrees with Pai.Originally posted by Gambit74:So I just upgraded my internet plan to a gigabit speed and am using a Netgear C7800 modem/router combo. The Internet Essentials plan is Comcast’s $9.95 per month (plus tax, of course) internet service provided to qualifying low-income households eligible for assistance from programs like SNAP, Medicaid, or WIC. Faster access for the same price should be a relief for many families struggling to adapt to having work, school, and entertainment largely shifted to the internet during the pandemic. Upload speeds are also being increased from 3Mbps to 5Mbps. The service, which currently runs at 25Mbps, will be automatically upgraded to 50Mbps without requiring additional fees or action from customers.

Users of Comcast’s Internet Essentials plan will be getting a significant speed increase on March 1st.
