- Mar 29, 2014 my xfinity modem's speed is 50 mbps. My laptop's download speed is fast. But my computer's download speed is really slow. My computer is new and fast. Except for the internet.
- Jun 17, 2015 - Verify speed via computer ethernet connection to router. How do I fix my slow Comcast Internet speed? Why is my Comcast internet so slow at night? My Downloading speed is fast but Internet browsing speed is slow?
I have the comcast performance internet and have noticed extremely slow wireless speeds (even when I am right next to the router). These slow speeds seem to often be during peak times (5pm-9pm). I live in a high rise apartment so I am wondering if there is some sort of congestion when everyone is on it at the same time. What's odd is that when wired, I still have good speeds. Here are my specs:
Wired speed: 25mbps
Wireless download: 1mbps
Wireless upload: 4mbps
Windows wireless connectivity : 144mpbs with excellent signal
Router: Linksys E3200 Dual-Band N
Modem: D-Link DCM202 (docsis 2.0)
I am wondering if maybe I should update my modem to the recommended DOCSIS 3.0 but I am not sure if that would help?
Thanks,
Rob

I recently changed my internet provider from Frontier Fios to Comcast xfinity. Through Comcast, I get somewhat low torrent speeds.
Frontier Fios: 15 down / 5 up. Torrent speed 1.5 MBps.
Comcast xfinity: 15 down / 5 up. Torrent speed 0.5 MBps only. Bhavishya purana english pdf download.
- Got up/down speeds using speedtest.
- Testing through wifi only.
- Frontier had provided their own router.
- Using an old dlink router (tm-g5240) with Comcast.
- Transport Encryption is on w/ torrent client to avoid throttling.
I'd like to know ..
- Is Comcast throttling OR is it just congestion on Comcast side?
- Will a new router help? I do remember getting 0.5+ MB/s w/ Time Warner few years back with same router.
What should I do get at least 1 MB /s torrent speeds?

Why Is Xfinity So Slow

I find it unlikely that Comcast would throttle BitTorrent traffic so significantly since they got in hot water for doing that in the past. They still do shaping like any large ISP, but probably not enough to knock your speeds down in half versus Frontier. With BitTorrent there are so many factors that affect speed, it's challenging to figure out where problems arise.
An easy way to test if your BT speeds are truly capped at 500kBps is to try different torrents and configurations. I hardly ever see my speeds go above 1MBps on Verizon FiOS, so I might assume a cap too. But if I torrent a popular Fedora release, speeds easily go up to 7MBps. Doing tests like this at different times of the day can also help determine if this performance is congestion related. The pipes can get flooded after school/work, but should be pretty bare early in the morning. Testing over Ethernet versus wireless may show a difference, but probably not. FYI your ISP can look at patterns in your traffic and deduce that you're using BitTorrent regardless of your using transport encryption.
If the router worked with high BT throughput on Frontier, I don't believe it should have to be replaced to work with a similar connection system. Comcast may have specific settings for routers connected to its network, and that's a good question to ask about to support. If you're convinced it's the router, Comcast will be able to tell you which new routers/router-modem combos are compatible with its system. If you tell them your specific problem, they're likely to be more helpful.
You can also see this similar question about BitTorrent throttling.
Some VPN services promise no throttling for different transmission protocols.

You're probably getting throttled. Sm bus controller driver windows 7 64 bit download fujitsu. Not much else to say than what's already been said, but if you're using old networking equipment, Wireless B/G only, that can cause slow connection speeds.. And, if the signal is moderate to low you're going to have packet loss. Wifi is already prone to duplicate packets and packet loss, distance can really affect the problem.. Try using an Ethernet cable, see if it improves.

The Encryption/Decryption process is also a factor in download speeds, since every packet out must be Encrypted/Decrypted and every packet in must be Encrypted/Decrypted. Even on good machines this can be a problem.

My ISP restrict the connection speed once you've downloaded over a certain amount of gb. EG, 2MB/s upto 20GB, then down to 500Kb/s after for the rest of the day.
