Why is my internet so slow?
I am using AT&T and my internet connection is supposedly 100 mbps (It says so in the network settings). However, when I check it on speedtest, it says it is only around .70-.80 mbps (note the decimal point in front of the numbers). This really does not add up. My ethernet cable is only a few months old (undamaged) and the router we have is also relatively new. This has led to more than a few instances of incredibly slow/laggy internet. In addition, it can take several days to download large files (>1GB). Why is the difference between connection speed and the actual connection so large? I know that you're supposed to have a small amount of the bandwidth that is unusable, usually 10 to 20 percent, but this is an astronomical difference (almost 99%). Perhaps the modem is causing the problem?
