Hi all,

Recently bought a new PC, but the internet speed on it is exceptionally slow. The specs are as following;

AMD-FX6300,
8gb - 2 x 4gb corsair vengeance,
Gigabyte 970-udp3.

The problem is I have a very old laptop running speeds of 16mbps, this new pc is running speeds of 1mbps. I'm running windows 8.1 and as there was nothing on there I needed, I wiped the hard drive, still the same speed. All drivers e.c.t. are correct and the wifi status says its speed is 144.4mbps.

Help will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Sam

hmm, I don't think the issue is with the hardware in your PC; it's probably your router configuration/setting and the type of service you have through your ISP. Have you contacted them already? I'd start there. Get them on the phone and see what they say.
