Speed Test Question

The speed test says I should be able to download at 1567 kb/s or 1.5MB/s.

The highest download speed I have ever seen is about 200 kb/s.

Does anyone have any idea why this is?

I know my router is kinda old, not too old but could be newer. I doubt that is the problem because it has been like this for as long as I can remember.

If anyone could please advise it would be greatly appreciated!!!!

You're also dependent on the other end where the data is being served (and the route path).

Pokey server, pokey download.
