One other thing that a lot of people don't realize is that no matter what your speed is the download time will also depend on the speed of the server where you are signed into.

It also depends on the Internet backbone in the country one is in. Also, the speed is shared by all the devices at home and one's computer. I have 2 gig connection and I connect via a hardwire 10 gig connection to the router as WiFi is slower than that. When I am on my iPad or phone I am down to about 1 gig (based on fast.com).

Thanks for that. My grandson was just gifted PS4 and decided to bring it to my house (his mom has his place tied up with XBox). He bought a game that requires massive download and it was taking bloody forever. Already ordered fiber optic upgrade but I think I'll also hardwire to modem as you suggest. Thumbs up!

One other bit of posting trivia: When creating a new report or subject thread, you want to post a really good photo in the first post. If there is no photo, the default image is the AH logo (black silhouette with yellow background). A good photo draws attention to your post.
