That's 50% faster!
Actual speeds are typically 60-80% of advertised speeds due to network conditions and peak usage times.
Older devices or hard drives might not keep up with your network speed, creating bottlenecks.
Greater distance can increase latency and reduce effective speed, especially for international transfers.
VPNs add encryption overhead and can reduce transfer speeds by 10-30% depending on the service.

Wired connections are faster and more stable than WiFi, especially for large transfers.
Stop streaming, downloads, and uploads during transfer to maximize bandwidth.
Internet is less congested late night/early morning for optimal speeds.
Ensure you're getting the speeds you're paying for with speed tests.
Older routers can bottleneck your connection, especially for high-speed plans.
Keep devices close to your router and avoid physical obstructions.
