Factors Affecting Transfer Speed

Actual speeds are typically 60-80% of advertised speeds due to network conditions.

Older devices or hard drives might not keep up with your network speed.

Greater geographic distance can increase latency and reduce effective speed.

VPNs add encryption overhead and can reduce transfer speeds by 10-30%.
