Thats going to be different measurement systems
mbps = megabits per second
MBs = megaBYTES per second
Bits are much smaller than Bytes, 150mbps ~= 18MB/s, so that's actually expected

And if you want to get more technical, MBs in Windows means MiB/s = Mibibytes a second, so
viscid tiger
so theres no issue
full thunder
No, doesnt appear to be
full thunder
You could go to steam settings and switch it to MB/s if you want to see it proper like that
full thunder
is that the same as 180mbps
180mbps is ~22MB/s
It is expected to be slightly lower on the drive, so yes, that is expected
viscid tiger
how do i do the steam settings thing
full thunder
Yeah no worries, it happens
Having 3 different measuring systems with very similar names gets confusing 👍

i thought that my disc was limiting my download
and i was like what cause i ran a test and it showed that the speed on my disc was really fast
full thunder
Nope, just windows measures disk speed in much larger units than Network speed
Network is usually in Bits per Second, and Disks in windows are typically in Bibytes per second. Bytes are rarely used. I think Linus actually did a video on this imma see if I can find it
viscid tiger
i also have another question if i may ask.
full thunder
go ahead

Network is usually in Bits per Second, and Disks in windows are typically in Bib...
okay ive no idea where the video went
I swear they mentioned it but I cant remember what video it was in
viscid tiger
do u know about a website called samknows? i watched a video about it and it shows the speed your internet box puts how compared to how much your pc receives. now i just ran one and it shows my box is putting out about 400mbps and my pc is only getting about 80. now i do use a wireless motherboard called the X570 Gaming Edge WiFi could it be that?
my box is just below my room im upstairs.
full thunder
Yeah Wireless always recieves slower
I have a 250mbps connection at my Demarc point, but I only get 100mbps to my PC
Ethernet would be your solution there
viscid tiger
yup do u know if those things u plug in the wall that u can put a ethernet cable in and use on pc will work fully.
i will try find a picture
something like that

yup do u know if those things u plug in the wall that u can put a ethernet cable...
Ether over Power connectors
Yeah, they work well
Slight signal loss usually
But not as much as wifi
EoPs are a very helpful tool though, yes
viscid tiger
ok i may look in to one of those or my other solution will be putting a whole in my floor
full thunder
And obv it requires the wiring in your house to be able to handle that, but usually they are fine
