I have an ethernet running through the wall to a computer on the second floor, which provides a 3mb/s download speed, and a 10mb/s upload speed.
This is odd, so I checked the speed of the wireless, which responded with a 50mb/s download and a 38mb/s upload. My question: why is the ethernet internet so horendous? Both were tested from the same Richmond, VA server using speedtest.net.
The cable running through the wall is definitely a little dated, and before I go out and buy a new one to replace it - is it even possible that a bottlenecked cable could yield results that terrible? Or are there other antagonists that I have not even thought of.
Responses appreciated.
