At the moment I have a 50 megs symmetrical unlimited internet plan, but no matter the device or connection method (5G, LAN) my download/upload speed never exceeds 5 megabytes even though the speed tests always show 50/50.

Is it possible that my ISP is limiting this speed per device so that a single device does not hold all the bandwidth?

And what does this have to do with piracy? Well, between downloading files at 5mbs vs 50mbs there is a lot of difference, especially a lot of torrents.

    try https://speed.cloudflare.com/ to get a speed test with lots of data

    additionally, if your speed test is still good but your real life download sucks, check that the app your downloading with doesn’t have a rate limit set. lots do have an option for people who don’t want their home network bogged down by one user
