SpokenTruth said: How are you testing the speed on your PC? What motherboard do you have?
And do what Ganoncrotch suggested. We need to see a traceroute to Google (preferably their DNS 8.8.8.8) to make sure your packets aren't going through poorly optimized routes.
That's also really strange your speed dropped on a Cat7 cable. How far is your PC to your router? |
It is windows 7 so I can't use any apps. Well most, I did find a windows 7 speed test app. I don't think it works though - it always is under. Like just now it did 135.
Otherwise I use http://speedtest.att.com/speedtest/ which just put it at 304.
My PC is right infront of my shelf with it. Infact when I take it off the shelf to put it straight up - I put it on my PC. They are that close.

I tried the cat 7 on my PS4 and it also dropped down to double digits. I plugged it into the AT&T box, unplugged the ps4 one (which is only two feet away) and plugged it in. Did I need to plug it/reset it/press the button any time I plug the new cord in?
