I don't understand this stuff. Ok, I kinda understand this stuff, but not really.
I am right now downloading a game. It is installing at a whopping 4 Mbs
My network usage according to my monitors show 4.5 Mbs usage.
I have a mind altering 30Mbs service.
I can run Ookla right now and still pull the same 32.xx mbs as before I started the download.
I understand a few things, but none of it makes sense.
I have heard that it depends on the broad band usage
It depends on how fast or how slow the system is feeding it to you.
It depends on how many people are using the internet at the very same time in your house/neighborhood, etc.
None of that makes sense because
if I was Bethesda, I would be trying to cram that down your throat as fast as I could to free up those resources
It is 2:30 in the afternoon and most folks are at work
I am the only one currently on the web in my house
and
Why does my program that monitors that crap only show just a fuzz more network usage than what the game is using to download/install? where the hell are my other 28 Mbs?
Ookla still reads 32.xx Mbs down and 6 up with a 7ms ping.
Last, if I only have a 7ms ping, why does it take 20 to 40 seconds for a page to load?
I did have a conversation with someone about packet size (MTU?) but I did not understand the directions on how to check the router and adjust.
Using spectrum inet.
If some one can pretend they are talking to a 10 year old and 'splain the why of the questions above, that would be great.
TIA!
