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??

Question

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

Answer 1

1. Either your ISP is an a-hole who restricts bandwidth on non-speedtest sites.
2. Something’s wrong on the server side

At 35 Mbps, you should be able to run 1080p vids on youtube without buffering. Can you?
