Internet not using full potential (and more)

Aldehyde · Jul 30, 2017

As the title says, my internet is not using its full potential. Here's a teaser:

As you see, using Speedtest used the most speed I can handle and then when I loaded up Steam, it barely used up any amount of speed. It used to be a minimum of 200Kbps, I was happy with that already. I dunno what happened now.

Also, there are instances where my internet just stops for a few seconds then starts again. Example, I am playing a game then I just lose connection.

Websites are also not loading properly/completely. An example is Steam, like the one in the video. Just in case you're wondering, I loaded Steam in Microsoft Edge also and it yielded the same result.

Help please, and feel free to ask any question.

Measured bandwidth seldom matches the NIC card capability or even your ISP connection for which you pay for service.

you are not the sole user unless you purchase a Business connection
the ISP uses QoS to throttle specific protocol thruput to protect other users - - You would not appreciate someone's TOR or Stream to adversely effect your email and browsing now would you!

Sorry for the late reply.
The thing is though, the thing about my internet not using its full potential has been happening for a long time. But what's new is that websites don't load properly. Even when those websites do load (after a few minutes), it's loaded in basic HTML.
Used to work maybe 1-2 weeks ago. Any help?

I think you are saying that instead of seeing nicely formatted pages, you are getting raw html code, like this:

Code:

<body>
<p> first paragraph with an image
<img src="https://techspot-static-xjzaqowzxaoif5.stackpathdns.com/community/data/avatars/s/35/35842.jpg?1471098850">
</p>
</body>

in which case you're not loading the CSS and your browser is not getting the full content from the server.
There's nothing you can do but access a different web site.
