I have a connection that clocks at 1.5 mps. Yet when I download I never ever get over 200 mps. I am going through a router that shows in the taskbar as a 100mps connection. Would going through the router slow the speed down. If I were to bypass the router and go direct when I want to download large files pick my speed up? These speeds are with nothing else running on the connection. I am on the ethernet connection. And does the speed of my computer have anything to do with my download speed? I called tech yesterday and they told me frankly they didn't know the answer to any of these questions...help appreciated.
