It's a simple misunderstanding, you think you're paying for Mbs but you're getting Mibs, read the fine print.

>>56071646
3.5 megabytes per second download is what im paying for

>>56071541
>2001+15
>3.5 mbps
Holy Christ what kind of shithole are you from?

Do websites throttle download speeds? I have 100 mbps according to SpeedTest, but when downloading things online or updating packages, I rarely see anything higher than 3mbps.

Such is life in Australia

Obviously you should post about it on 4chan instead of calling your ISP and demanding to know what the fuck is up.

>>56071653
dunno how the terms of use apply in your country but in mine it will always say that you can get a constant 40% of the offered speed the rest depends on your luck on some days

try testmy.net and report back

>>56071862
Yes, but go try out www.testmy.net

I know your pain
Its been two decades since the beginning of the broadband and we adsl users with no alternatives, are lucky if we get 6/0.6mbps plus you have to pay the standard monopolized prices that in some cases is higher than fiber, cable or even unlimited 4g movile data traffic.
Not to mention cooper lines in rural areas are barely capable of any kind of QoS in data transfers.

>>56072022
have you tried unplugging the router? Or just cleaning your dns cache?

Fuck.

>>56071541
You're paying for 3.5 Megabits down
You're getting .7 Megabytes down

Networking is in bits, storage is in bytes, don't ask why just go with it.

you asked for it

>>56072022
then it's almost definitely an issue on your end, have you tried changing ethernet cable? i had a similar issue once and it was the ethernet cable, served me well for 10yrs but his time had come
if that doesn't fix it call the isp, tell them your issue and they'll help you out

>>56071541
3.5?

What do you need 3 for?

>>56075032
how crap is your wifi router? or how big is your house?

>>56076634
The router is diagonally from mine so even though it's close it passes through many solid walls and rooms

>>56074377
REEEEEEE

>>56071541
>3.5 Mb/s
You move to a place with normal connectivity

>>56075032
Get a Ubiquity AP. Those built-in radios on the routers are ass.
