Question.....
According to SpeedTest.net, my download speed is around 7 mbps... However, the most I ever gotten on a download was 1 mbps, normally it would be even slower, around 800 KB/s. I found this really confusing.
Stuff I tried to do to improve my internet speed:

1. Did a virus scan, find nothing.
2. Reinstalled my browser.
3. Switched router(Now a TRENDnet Wireless AC1750 Dual Band Gigabit Router).
4. Checked if any torrent is running, nothing is.
5. Switched to wired ethernet connection, still nothing.

Thats about all the advise I could find on internet, not one of them seems to work. I'm really confused, because to my knowledge the router I use is fairly good, so it dosen't seems to be a hardware problem.

Any help?

P.S. All my game works fine, I usually only get 5 pings.
