Why is it that if I run a speed test of my wifi it says 35Mbps but usually it doesn’t go up 30/40 Kbps??

1.04K views

So how can a speed test pull the most amount of data from the provider but my games can not?

There’s the lag to consider as well. Your game might be having to make dozens of separate requests for data each second, and due to the ping time to the server, each request will take far longer than just the bandwidth requirement would suggest, and the overall speed will be considerably lower because of that.
