Thwartedjunk Posted June 30, 2017 CID Share Posted June 30, 2017 So I just bought a prebuilt PC from Cyberpower, and so I'm installing games and they are very slow. I'm running an Ethernet cable to it and it's the same one I used for my Xbox One. The speedtest reached 100mbps down, and 85mbps up, but immediately after when I tried downloading a game from Steam it dropped down to a max of 12.5mbps. A few days ago on Xbox I definitely reached at least 100 Mbps when downloading, so I don't understand what is bringing it down to 1/10 of what it should reach.

NTZach7 Posted July 15, 2017 CID Share Posted July 15, 2017 Are they both "Mbps?" Or is one "MBps" and the other is "Mbps?" The reason I am asking is that 12.5 is exactly an eighth of 100. There are 8 bits in a byte, so that would make the two numbers the same (12.5 Megabytes and 100 Megabits). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stannaz Posted September 2, 2017 CID Share Posted September 2, 2017 Steam shows download speeds in megabytes, whereas speedtests are almost always shown in megabits. This means you are probably getting the speeds you should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
