How to double internet speed on same PC?

XSI · Mar 18, 2014

actually guys, maybe there is a chance he's is getting more if for example his ISP provider actually gives him 100 mbps but told him 50mbps tops. happened to me some years ago, when ISP provider just doubled my internet speed free of charge.
another thing can be wifi limitation if he is using wifi.
I have 150mbps modem and 100mbps (~12 MB/s) speed but my wifi speed is less than 5MB/s where at the same time wired reach 11,5MB/s.

The problem is that he has admitted he can only get 50mbps on a single computer.

dude just because you benchmark your speed and get 50MBits on each PC doesn't mean you have a 100Mbit pipe. The benchmark doesn't saturate your pipe, its not a stress test. Both PC's are hooked up to a 50 mbit, and they will report that - even if you bench them simultaneously.

Also true BUT this would show when a single PC does a speed test and it shows 100MBPS not 50MBPS.

Best place to test is beyond your personal router. I do not know who your provider is but there is a D-Mark were the ISP leaves off and you pick up with your router. I would test there and if you get 50MBPS with ONE PC then that is your cap.

I think you have adequatly got your points across, this thread is now causing me pain, I applaud you all for your patience, indeed these tend to be the "flavour" of most of the Op's posts, and for that I salute you!

Thread closed.

No, one gigabit router with 4 ethernet ports can send and receive 4 gigabits of data to four separate gigabit PC cards (given at least 1 gigabit ISP bandwidth of course, but that's beside the point).

no, thats not correct. if you have a 1Gb link to your ISP (which would be as rare as unicorn tears) and four 1Gb ports to PC's, you're still capped at 1Gb internet speeds. there is no possible way for 4Gb of speed from the internet side of things there.

please start two large downloads that will take several minutes/hours to finish on the two machines, and see what the combined result is. you may only be getting faster speeds from speedtest for a variety of technical reasons, and nothing else will get sped up in the slightest.
