“Ookla has been the standard for internet testing for decades, so their recognition is meaningful to Cox and to our customers,” said Cox Communications Gulf Coast Market Vice President David Deliman. internet service providers with median download speeds of 196.73 Mbps. According to consumer-initiated tests taken with Ookla Speedtest, Cox internet service led among U.S. If you got your full 125+ Mbps, you could download a 10 GB file in about 10 minutes or less.Network enhancements and faster speeds across service tiers puts Cox customers ahead of the packĪTLANTA, Aug– Cox Communications today announced that its high-speed internet service has been recognized by Ookla® Speedtest® ( ), the global leader in network intelligence and connectivity insights, as offering America’s fastest internet download speeds in the second quarter 2022. Even with that kind of download, you could download a 10 GB file in less than 30 minutes. In your case, downloading at 5.7 MB/s (57 Mbps) is still extremely well. However, having that 1 Gbps link to their ISP, could allow multiple users on the network to experience extremely high download speeds all at the same time. Raw bandwidth is just one small part of the whole download process.įor example, if a user is fortunate enough to have a 1 Gbps connection, I doubt they will ever get a download that will give them 100 MB/s download speed because of the load balancing and other factors that come into play. Once you go out beyond your ISP, many other factors come into play and can affect your download speed.
It doesn't actually go out beyond your ISP. A speedtest simply measures the download between you and your ISP. Speedtests always pick a server that is closest to you in order to give you the best results. The inSSID download may not be an extremely funded server like Microsoft has, so they only have so much bandwidth to give.Īnother difference between speedtest, and the speed from a server you're downloading from is distance, latency, etc. It is very common that a lot of Internet servers, especially for larger sites, have download rate limiting enabled too. The 5.7 MB/s is by no means slow, but Microsoft has a lot of people hitting their server(s) and they are trying to load balance the traffic, so they can server all customers equally.
I'd say the server you're downloading from is the one responsible for the lower download speeds.
