Hi guy's,

Just wanted some advice plz..I have talk talk fiber broadband, if i run a speed test on my pc, which has (Windows 8.1), which is meant tobe 40 + speed, i only get 14meg speed, via pluged into Ethernet. If I test my laptop via ethernet, which has Windows 7, I get over 30 speed.

So could there be something on my pc thats blocking the speed?

Cheers

Homeplugs?
Security software?

You could try the Ubuntu live CD to rule out a problem with Windows.

Are you using the same ethernet cable when testing the speed?
Same port on the modem/router?

any driver updates available for your ethernet controller/network adaptor on your windows 8.1 machine?
