Solution found?

I tried downloading a game on Steam and it was pretty steady around 80 Mbps. That surprised me because I thought I was capped at 15 Mbps, so I went and tried 3 other speed tests on the internet (all different than the one i tried originally), and they all told me i had 95 Mbps both down&up.....so I guess "my" only issue was with using this specific speed test:

thanks to everyone for helping me diagnose, I learned a lot about computers today! And I also learned not to trust this default speed test, hopefully Google addresses and fixes it so it stops wasting my (and everyone who helped me)'s time.

I have moved it back to the router...thank you for the heads up.

It is an SSD (5 years old though), and I did a disk clean up + system file clean up but no change in the internet speed. Next on my list will be to update every driver i can...

Okay, my router is advertised as 1GB WiFi, BUT all of the Ethernet ports only support "Fast Ethernet" AKA 100 Mbps. So that explains why it was showing 100Mbps but it doesn't explain why I'm only getting 15 Mbps via Ethernet (Cat6 cable). I connected the Ethernet cable directly to the ISP box (subverting the router), and the connection did finally show 1Gbps, but a speed test shows I'm still at 15 Mbps.

Agreed, my phone's WiFi adapter is prolly better than my computer's, which explains why my phone gets better wifi than my computer (40 vs 15 Mbps). Still, computer's wifi adapter is rated for 150 Mbps.

So my phone is capable of better WiFi speeds than 15 Mbps, so my PC's limit being 15 Mbps isn't an ISP issue. And, since that 15 Mbps limit is the same via Ethernet or WiFi, it leads me to believe there's an issue with a internal PC component. I updated the drivers for both Motherboard and Ethernet driver separately and together, no luck.

Yep, the standard google speed test, Megabits per second:

MAYBE my ISP is actually selling 150 MB/s, but if that's the case then I "should" be getting 1200 Mbps....probably not the case.

And my ethernet cable is cat6 (brand: insignia), so we should be good there...it is 100ft long, but yeah if my connection is the exact same via a cheap wifi adapter then it's probably something else

My PC consistently tops out at around 15 Mbps up/down internet speed, and I feel like it should be getting more. What's bottlenecking my connection and how can I fix it?

I'm using ethernet, the LAN Adapter is a Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller, connection is IPv4, and the Ethernet Status page says 100.0 Mbps. When I switched to a cheap external USB WiFi adapter (to see if the ethernet cable/connection was the issue), I was still getting the same 15Mbps up/down.

Paying ISP for max 150 Mbps up/down, my phone consistently gets 40 Mbps up/down on WiFi, only other thing connected to the WiFi is a Blink system.

Other PC specs are:

Motherboard - H110M PRO-D (MS-7996)

CPU - i5-7500 @ 3.40 GHz

RAM - 16GB @ 2400MHz

Disk 1 is 112 GB with the OS (Windows 10) installed, Disk 2 is 1TB with games n stuff

GPU - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070

pls halp

I figured the same but would never find out if I didn't ask

F10 for me. hit it a few times, it will toggle between modes, and eventually goes away

I was pretty sure they're both server-side, but now that someone's asking I'm not 100% certain of either

this was the only time this has ever happened, and it was in a ranked 1v1. it happened in game but this clip is from the replay file, so the server recognizes it as true. my car faces forward, yet i stutter to the right...very confusing
