I was having some issue with my broadband today. When I finally managed to get back online, I ran my Internet provider's diagnostic tool and something I can't quite figure out came up.
On the speed test, it says that the:
Speed to my router is 78Mb (which is what I would expect)
Speed from router to device 38Mb (this is using Ethernet cable, wifi disabled, nothing else plugged in).
Is this normal? Any ideas of why this might be the case? Quality of the Ethernet cable? Network card?
Practice, I'm not sure I'd notice the difference, but from 78Mb to 38Mb seems like a pretty big jump.
