Hello, I have recently purchased a Gigabit modem with service. I had to buy a gigabit usb to ethernet adapter/dongle to achieve more than 100mbps because my network card on my laptop would not support gigabit speeds. In addition to buying the dongle I also purchased CAT6 cable for it. I am plugged directly into the modem without a router or switch and my speeds that I get when performing a test on the ISPs speedtest are in the 300-450 mbps range while on speedtest.net site I get 200 - 400 mbps range. I performed a wget command test in Cygwin with thinkbroadband.com at 1GB file and I get 4MBps.
Cables are good modem tested good, signal strength is great, im at full duplex, and I also ran the tests in safemode with networking for the same results. The USB is USB 3.0 which my laptop does have.
When the ISP Tech came out he tested the connection with his laptop and he got around 840 Mbps.
Is the ISP throttling my connection to my pc?
what hardware issues would impact my speed?
Update 12/19/2015
Tried doing another speedtest after getting home from work. I am getting now 333 Mbps on all test sites. Called and talked to a Tech I from my ISP, tried different scenarios this time, like restarted the modem, switching IP addresses and DNS. None of these worked.
It seems to me that I am being capped.. For what reason I don't know. I find it strange that 333 is persistent without fluctuation on ALL sites.
Any help would be great, thanks.
