At the moment I have a 50 megs symmetrical unlimited internet plan, but no matter the device or connection method (5G, LAN) my download/upload speed never exceeds 5 megabytes even though the speed tests always show 50/50.

Is it possible that my ISP is limiting this speed per device so that a single device does not hold all the bandwidth?

And what does this have to do with piracy? Well, between downloading files at 5mbs vs 50mbs there is a lot of difference, especially a lot of torrents.

    your connection is 50 megaBITS not megaBYTES… so divide 50 by 8 and you’ll get your answer…

    50 / 8 = 6.25

    Now take in to account the overheads… the speed you’re seeing is completely accurate.
