Yep that'll be the issue - that's a very old CPU with low single thread performance. Easily clogged by a sub-optimal web page.

There's no chance of getting 1gig speeds through a 1gig Internet socket on a pc. Even though claimed to be 1gig it is difficult to get over 800/900Mb/s through this connection. I use the hub5's 2.5Gb socket to my 2.5Gb PC socket achieving up to 1156Gb/s on a good day.

yeah my computers a old Dell T3500 it doesn't have a 2.5 socket maybe if I get a few quid I'll upgrade
lol 😂 i wish, anyway it was getting a consistent 950 Mbps DL 53 Up until today i can only hit in the 800 range servers seem a bit slower ping shows higher guess that will sort out later.
thank for your post.

Speed tests be speed tests but where your really downloading from to make use of the speed is what matters.

reason I was not seeing high speeds was the adapter', I installed a 2.5 Gb card and everything's  fine now seeing speed on Sam knows Real Speed hitting  well over 1130 Mbps
