However, for some reason, it reaches the max speed if I download something from Steam, Uplay and Google Drive. And before anyone says that it's the ISP, it's not: I've checked my brother's laptop via wired connection and the download speed there is normal and it reaches max speed on everything, unlike my PC.
Dunno about wireless since my PC don't have Wifi. Aug 19, 2 0 20 1. Apparently windows does some assumptions when downloading drivers, so might not actually be the specific version which is required. Where Linux is far superior, in that it uses the right driver for the device. What frustrates me, is this shouldn't even be happening in the first place. And its not like its a hardware issue with our computers, considering its over different devices, with different hardware configurations.
Sorry for the double post, but I have an update. I booted Ubuntu on my USB to test if it's a hardware problem. To my surprise, the download speed on Ubuntu is more faster there than on my Windows It's probably a software problem, but my problem right now is finding the culprit since nothing is eating my network.

Most Internet connections are asynchronous, meaning that they download and upload data at different rates.
In most cases, the upload rate is much slower than the download rate. When you upload a large file, it can saturate the bandwidth of your Internet connection and cause downloads to be very slow. When you upload a file, it is generally best to let the transfer finish before downloading files. Your download speed can be temporarily reduced when a background program accesses the Internet.
The Windows Update application is a common example of this; Windows Update scans the Internet for critical security updates periodically, downloading them automatically as they become available. If a background program is downloading data, it may appear that your Internet connection is running slowly.
Check the Notification Area in the lower-right corner of the screen to see if any background programs are downloading data. Often, what appears to be a slow download speed on your computer may actually be the result of a problem with the website that you are downloading from. For example, when a major news event occurs or a software company releases an important update, the website can experience slowness or even be brought down temporarily as many people rush to access it.
