Hello

I am having a really wierd issue with my Download/Upload speed on my iPhone vs USB 3.0 Adapter on my stationary PC.

I recently bought this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-LINK-T4U-Wireless-Adapter-300Mbps/dp/B00D0AF3TA

Im very satisfied with how it works, my old PCI could pull 10mbit/4mbit while this one gives me 40mbit/4mbit. But something seems to be really off with the upload.

I know that im supposed to have 40mbit/20mbit from the internet provider. And using the "Speedtest App" on my iPhone 5 gives me the following mbits: 26/19.

Using the Speedtest website on my computer gives me the following mbits: 40/4.

What is going on here guys? How can my phone be picking up so much more upload? I really need the upload for streaming purposes, and for some reason neither the PCI or USB 3.0 could pick up more than 4mbit upload...

Thank you for your time

I tried "testmy.net", a danish provider and a html tester. Everything gave me the same result around 4.1 mbit upload.
