windows 7 - Download speed measures below ISP rated speed


My internet connection is advertised to be 10 MBps or around 1 MB/s. I normally get download speeds up to 1 MB/s or no less than 750 KB/s but now it's down to not much higher than 150 KB/s and around 300 - 350 KB/s if I'm lucky


Note:



  • There are no background programs hogging up my bandwidth

  • Happened recently

  • Seems that it doesn't matter what site I download from

  • P2P speeds are fine

  • Avast Free Edition isn't blocking anything

  • Windows Firewall is turned off

  • Didn't happen until I reinstalled a week ago

  • Upload speed is fine

  • ISP is Distributel


Answer



Switched to TekSavvy and haven't had a problem for months. Turns out Distributel isn't so good in my area
