For some time now I have had the problem that I only achieve a maximum of 15Mbit / s in upload with my desktop PC in various speed tests. I suspect it's a software problem as I've hit the full 50Mbps before. If I connect my laptop to the same network, I get full speed there. The download runs properly on both devices.
Test via Lan:
Laptop: approx. 400Mbit / s Download | approx. 50Mbit / s upload
Desktop PC: approx. 400Mbit / s download | approx. 15Mbit / s upload
Test via Wi-Fi
Laptop: approx. 400Mbit / s Download | approx. 50Mbit / s upload
Desktop PC: approx. 400Mbit / s download | approx. 15Mbit / s upload
Additional information:
I connected both devices with the same LAN cable directly in the router.
I just updated the Intel network drivers from the Intel website
Mainboard is an MSI Gaming Edge z390 with Wi-Fi
The contract is via Vodafone Cable - 400Mbit / s download with additional booking to 50Mbit / s upload.
It is not unlikely that your laptop has SSD or SSHD, but your PC only has an HDD that is probably full or old.
That throttles the download… Another source of error: your CPU on the PC, it is not fast enough with unpacking then you will also be throttled
It can't be because of the router and the internet connection. Something on your desktop is holding it back. Maybe take a look in the task manager to see what's going on, which shouldn't necessarily be, and deactivate it to test it would be a possibility.
I installed an M.2 SSD on which Windows is also installed.
Maybe, but where does your download end up?
CPU is an Intel I5 8600K
What do you mean what it lands on?
Only you can know whether it is busy, the best thing to do is to look at the task manager, we don't know what else the CPU has to process
According to the task manager, the network is 0% busy: /
Network utilization at 0% and CPU at approx. 10% …
Yes that's how it looks for me too. On the SSD (500gb) there are still 250 gb free. 1TB on the HDD. The only question then is why I had the full upload about 2 months ago.
I'm idle or downloading?
Because an HDD gets slow when it is full.
You have to imagine that ONE SSD can work completely with electricity, nothing moves and as everyone knows, electricity is almost as fast as light, and you can conduct it better, which is why an SSD is still almost as fast as before.
An HDD can't do that, an HDD uses something like small CDs that are magnetically loaded, the problem is just… The fuller an HDD is, the faster it has to turn the CDs to maintain the read speed and that just doesn't work at some point when it is too full, which is why it slows down from then on
The problem doesn't have to be due to the PC or the memory, of course, but otherwise I don't know anything else that can be discussed or tried out online
In idle. But the download isn't the problem after all?
Now that you say it, I read the question completely wrong 😕
Upload is not my specialty unfortunately, it is not uncommon that the upload is smaller than the download but if you say you can upload more with the laptop, then it could possibly also be due to the client you are uploading something? Did you use the same process for both uploads?
During the speed test, the "DNS client" process uses approx. 12Mbit / s in the upload. I don't know what this stands for.
Side note: It's about the upload.
In a speed test, nothing is saved or read anyway. It runs completely in RAM.
No problem:-) Yes, the same tests ran on both devices. : /
Yep, I also noticed at the end 😅 a bit late for that but thanks
How about the RAM for your two devices? The online tests actually always save this data on the RAM
So… DDR… HZ… GB?
16GB 2666Mhz DDR4 Corsair
The laptop or the PC?
Nevermind, the pc must be.
But what about the laptop
The pc, sorry. The laptop has 8GB DDR4
Hm. Actually the RAM in the PC should be sufficient, it is not a high end beast but actually a good average
Is it busy when you take the test?
As I said, I suspect that it is less of a hardware problem. As I said earlier it worked.
According to Task Manager 42% for the RAM
I don't suspect either, but these are all the clues I could think of to make sure, unfortunately I can't help you with software because I refuse to update Windows 7, which is why I'm a little out of shape
RAM was expensive 2 years ago.
It's a shame, but thank you very much for the trouble.
Happened to me read too. Read too sloppily, not really thought about it, answered too quickly. Whoops. Oops.
Actually it is still extremely expensive, because of the Kack cell phones the price just doesn't drop anymore, but the cool thing is: Look at what you pay for an SSD or an M.2, absolutely amazing how cheap they have become
It almost always happens to me here, most of them have download problems, which is why you somehow never think about the upload
Right, it becomes routine.
But one thing still has to be mentioned ne… 😅
That is annoying with your 70% loss, but look at it this way, 15mb is still good, I don't even have 100kbs… Download upload are 90kbs, contractually up to 1mbit is actually promised
Well, I used to pay my 140 euro for my 16GB. Now they're at just under 70 euro. But i agree with you. SSDs are really cheap!
Sure, the stick is also a burden. But when it comes to price developments, you always talk to Latest gen, and somehow it doesn't seem to really decrease in terms of price and performance
Yes, I know that from before. I know that is "grumbling" at a high level. But it's still annoying. I've tried a lot but it didn't help… Read many forums, but never really found my problem. The last chance is to reset the system at some point, I think… But it is an effort to save all the data I want to keep beforehand…
Yes're right. But whether there's really a noticeable increase in performance… I don't know… Price-performance ratio is good.
I doubt that you have failed so badly that a reset is necessary, the problem is very likely not sooo difficult to fix, you have to think I just deal with it, you can ask a PC doctor but it may cost
Yes, ha ha. Maybe there will be a few useful answers here later
Push me when the time comes, the question has already piqued my interest
I do
