100MB download speed should be 300MB

[brettdemon]

I recently upgraded to 300MB speed and my laptop goes from 10MB to 100MB on it's own but never 300MB. I use wired only on my laptop. I have upgraded the drivers, reset the gateway and set the network adapter to push 1GB. AT&T says they show they are pushing me 300MB. My Samsung phone gets the 300MB no problem on Wi-Fi. Am I missing something? I read that Windows 10 slows you down but who knows if that is true. Any help would be great. thanks in advance.

Hi KrazyToad.

I had done a lot of what you suggested already but there was a lot more to do.

I started from the beginning of your suggestions. I reset the gateway to make sure I wa getting at least 100MB while doing all your tasks.

I did them all and on the last restart I was at less than 9MB per second on a speed test.

I don't know what to do next except buy a new laptop even though this one is so well equipt to run up to 1000MB+.

Hi Krazytoad. I tried the reset. Kind of wishing I didn't as I lost all kinds of things. Nothing that couldn't be set up again like browsers and printers. Anyways I am still at 8MB speed even after that reset. I am now beginning to think it is the laptop as I am getting 270MB speed on my phone thru wi-fi. The problem though is the laptop is fast and works great even with the 8MB. I am at a loss for now. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
