i have centurylink internet and were paying for 8 Mb. on our family computer downstairs, using the speed test from centruylink, were getting about 7.5 Mb. that's about right. BUT on my $2000 gaming rig, i'm getting 1.5 to 2 Mb and i have no idea why.
the internet goes to a router and then to the devices (2 computers, xbox360) i tried unplugging my cat 5e cable and putting in all the different slots on the router and still would get the same speed. the cable is only 35 foot, could that be why my internet is slow? i could really use some help because i dont know how to fix this.
Edit: okay i plugged the cable that goes to my computer into my laptop and got 7.5Mb. that means my computer is the issue. how do i fix this? i have all the windows updates and everything. only thing i can think of that i didnt update was the BIOS.
