How to Increase Download Speed in Windows 10
Stop multitasking, check your internet speed, and clear space
Downloads taking longer than expected on your PC? Here are some tips for how to increase download speeds on Windows 10.
Why Are My Downloads So Slow in Windows 10?
If downloads are slow and web pages are taking forever to load, the first thing you should do is troubleshoot your slow internet connection. Once you’ve ruled out any problems with your ISP, router, and modem, move on to troubleshooting your device.
There could be many reasons why a computer is running slow, but if you’re specifically having problems with the internet, it could be due to the following:
Test your internet speed and compare it to what your internet provider promises to see if you’re getting the maximum possible speed.
How Can I Boost My Download Speed?
After checking for issues with your internet connection, try these steps to speed up downloads on Windows 10:
Download one thing at a time. If you download multiple files on different devices (for example, your computer and your game console) simultaneously, each download will be competing with the other.
Use an Ethernet cable or move closer to the router. If your computer has an Ethernet port, connect it directly to your modem. Circumventing the router ensures a stable connection. If that’s not an option, remove any obstructions between your computer and the router, making sure they are as physically close as possible.
Delete temporary files. Your computer stores temporary files for programs you often use to speed up its performance, but too many temporary files can slow things down.
Switch web browsers. Your default browser may not be optimized for your internet connection, so try downloading the file in a different browser.
Turn off the metered connection. If you set a metered connection to limit data usage, disable it to maximize download speeds.
Turn off background apps. Applications that run in the background and use the internet can interfere with download speeds, so disable any apps that take up a lot of bandwidth and resources.
Use a download manager. Some download managers can download files from multiple sources simultaneously, allowing for faster download speeds.
Switch DNS servers. Your internet service provider (ISP) chooses your default DNS server, and it doesn’t always pick the fastest one. Experiment to find out which server works best for you.
Disable automatic Windows updates. Windows downloads and installs the latest OS updates automatically, so turn off this feature to make sure it doesn’t interfere with your other downloads.
Change the bandwidth limit. Windows reserves bandwidth for itself to update Microsoft apps and services. Fortunately, you can adjust the bandwidth limits in your settings to prioritize downloads.
Upgrade your internet plan. Your internet package limits your connection speed. Contact your ISP to discuss switching to a faster one.
Why Is My Download Speed So Slow Even Though I Have Fast Internet?
Technically, download speed refers to how fast your modem receives data from the internet. This data includes streaming, so if you’re watching Netflix or using other web-based services, it’ll affect your downloads. Just because your internet package promises high maximum download speeds doesn’t mean you automatically get the fastest speed. Check with your ISP to ensure you have the right equipment to get the internet speed for which you’re paying them.
If your upload speeds are faltering, check with your internet provider about what speed your plan provides. You may need to upgrade to a faster plan or switch providers. Try to stagger your internet usage, so multiple tasks aren’t competing for bandwidth. Also, make sure you’re using a router that broadcasts on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands; there may be less interference on the 5 GHz band. If Wi-Fi is your only option, try measures to boost your Wi-Fi signal.
As on a Windows PC, conduct a speed test to see if your internet is slow or something is wrong with your setup. If your speed tests fine, many of the same tips listed above for Windows PCs will work for you too. Try moving closer to the router, switching to the 5 GHz band, and making sure you’re not performing multiple tasks. If browsing is slow, be sure to close unused tabs in your browser.

What an internet speed test measures
What does Mbps mean?
Let’s start with the basics. Internet speed is measured in bits (a single binary 1 or 0) per second. Internet connections can handle a lot of this data, so we usually talk about speeds in megabits per second (Mbps), which is a million bits per second. When speeds get really fast (1,000 Mbps or faster), we talk about them in gigabits per second (Gbps), which is a billion bits per second. (1,000 Mbps = 1 Gbps)
Download speed
Download speed, also referred to as bandwidth, measures how fast information from the internet gets to your device (for example, how fast your Netflix show loads). It’s usually measured in megabits per second (Mbps), although really fast connections are measured in gigabits per second (Gbps). Download speed is especially important for uses like watching high-quality video or downloading software.
Upload speed
Just as download speed refers to how fast data gets to your device, upload speed refers to how fast information on your device can be sent to some other destination on the internet (like how fast your vacation pictures post to Instagram). For most connections, upload and download speed are usually different, but when you see internet plans advertised by speed, they’re usually focusing on just the download speed.
What is latency?
One other important measurement for internet speed is latency, or lag. Latency is very different from bandwidth, even though both deal with the speed of your connection. Latency refers to the time it takes for a signal to be sent from your computer to your service provider and come back. High latency can lead to more buffering on streaming video, but it’s much more disruptive in activities like video chat or online gaming.
Run a search below to see what other kinds of internet are available in your area. You may be able to find much faster packages than what you have now.
What determines your internet speed?
If there’s one thing that everyone knows about internet speed, it’s that not all connections are created equal. Most ISPs offer multiple plans with different speeds, but often these plans also use different technologies to connect you to the internet. Though some are significantly faster than others, there are also other pros and cons besides just speed.
Dial-up internet is the slowest kind of internet connection and is too slow for uses like streaming video. It can’t hit broadband speeds, usually topping out around 50 kbps (only 0.05 Mbps), though depending on the service, it can be much slower. It’s usually pretty cheap, but there are much better low-cost options these days.
Satellite internet uses a satellite signal to wirelessly connect to your home. Satellite can give you the broadband speeds necessary to do things like stream video, but it’s still a relatively slow and expensive option. Satellite internet speeds range from 5 Mbps to 25 Mbps. Also, since your signal has to reach a satellite in orbit, it has incredibly high latency. The upside is that you can get it almost anywhere in the US, even in remote areas.
DSL, or digital subscriber line, uses existing telephone networks, but it achieves much higher speeds than dial-up, anywhere from 0.5 Mbps to 75 Mbps. It’s not much faster than satellite and its speed is affected by the distance to your ISP’s central office.
Cable internet uses copper wires, just like cable TV. Cable offers incredibly fast speeds, between 25 Mbps and 1,000 Mbps (1 Gbps), but it also has a few drawbacks. Connections are generally shared between neighbors, which means cable networks get congested during peak hours. Cable also offers much higher download speeds than upload speeds. This isn’t an issue with cable TV, since broadcasts go only one direction, but it can be a problem for some online activities on cable internet.
Fiber internet connects you to the web via fiber-optic cables. Fiber is the fastest and most reliable kind of internet service, with speeds ranging from 50 Mbps to 2,000 Mbps (2 Gbps). It also has the benefit of symmetrical upload speeds. In other words, your uploads are just as fast as your downloads.
By understanding what kind of internet connection you have, you should have a good idea of how fast your connection should be. The question, though, is how much speed you’re actually getting from your connection.
Tips to get the most accurate speed
Testing your speed is easy, but how do you get the most accurate measurement of your internet connection? Here are a few things you can do to get the most accurate results:
Pause automatic downloads.
First, make sure you’re not downloading any large files in the background. You can check the Task Manager on Windows or the Activity Monitor on macOS to see if any programs are trying to download updates or other large files. Close or quit all apps on your computer. You might still have some background processes using the internet but nothing that would make a big impact.
Get rid of freeloaders.
Next, make sure that no one else on your home network is using a chunk of your bandwidth. You’re not going to get very accurate results if you have people streaming Netflix in three different rooms of your house while you test. If you suspect you might have someone stealing your Wi-Fi or some other freeloaders on your network, you can also change your network password.
Check for wireless router issues.
Many people argue that you should always plug your computer directly into your router with an Ethernet cable before you test your internet speed. While this does give you a more accurate measure of what your ISP is giving you, it doesn’t help much if you’re still getting slow speeds where you normally use your devices.
We suggest that you check your internet speed where you most often use your computer. If the speed is less than what you expect, try plugging it into your router. If you get a dramatic increase in speed, it might be time to get a better router.
Connection still too slow? Run a search with your zip code to find providers with speeds and performance that meet your needs.
So, what do my results mean?
Once you know exactly how many Mbps you’re getting over your internet connection, what do you do next? First off, you need to make sure you can interpret your results. There’s no need to make an angry call to your ISP because you’re paying for gigabit internet but only getting upload speeds of 30 Mbps. If you have a cable connection, that’s perfectly normal, and it probably still has plenty of upload speed for your needs.
Interpreting download speeds
The most important number from your speed test is your download speed. That’s what’s going to determine how fast files download, how many devices your network can support, and how high the quality of your video can be.
If you have DSL, you should expect your speed to be a bit lower than advertised due to your distance from the central hub, but there’s also no way to improve it unless you move your whole house closer (or switch to a different type of connection).
If you have cable internet and your result is low, you’re probably experiencing congestion from the other homes in your area. Try testing your speed at another time when your neighbors are less likely to be online. If you’re hitting the proper download speeds outside of peak-use times, there’s nothing wrong with your connection. That’s just how cable works.
Checking your latency
If you play online games or watch live video, you also want to pay attention to your latency. If your latency is down below 20 milliseconds (ms), your experience should be perfectly smooth. If your latency is above 150 ms, you’re going to have some significant issues with lag. Some lag issues can’t be fixed because that would mean changing the laws of physics. Even going at near the speed of light, it takes time for a signal to reach a server in South Korea.
Other sources of lag can be dealt with. Replacing an old router can reduce latency. Connecting directly to your router via Ethernet cable instead of over Wi-Fi will make a huge difference in preventing lag. Finally, you can upgrade to a type of connection with naturally lower latency, like fiber.
Diagnosing problems
If you’ve done everything you can to get the most accurate speed test and your download speeds are still way below what your ISP promised, it could mean a few different things.
Malware—You might have malware on your device. Network worms and other malicious software hijack part of your bandwidth, but this is often the least of your worries. Run antivirus software to check for and remove malware.
Outdated hardware—You might have outdated hardware that’s incompatible with your provider’s requirements. For example, Xfinity’s gigabit services require a DOCSIS 3.1 modem. Although DOCSIS 3.0 equipment can technically get up to gigabit speeds, Xfinity doesn’t support it.
ISP issues—There might be a problem with your provider’s infrastructure. Sometimes these are just network interruptions caused by your ISP upgrading part of their network or simply doing maintenance. It could also be a more serious problem that can be fixed only by your provider. If you’ve explored the other options and are still having issues, call your ISP’s customer service.
Malfunctioning equipment—If your speed is lower than expected, but there are no problems with your ISP, there might be a problem with your equipment. Reset your modem and router by turning them off, waiting for a minute or two, then turning them back on. Try connecting to your router using an Ethernet cable instead of over Wi-Fi. If you’re already using a wired connection, try swapping out your Ethernet cable for a different one. You can also try running the speed test from a different device to see if you get the same results.
Get a better internet plan
If, after all this, your internet speed is still not enough to meet your needs, it might be time to upgrade to a faster plan, or simply find a better ISP.

Interview Question: «What Were Your Job Expectations?»
In many cases, interviewers will want to know what you expected from your last job when you were hired, so be prepared to answer the interview question, “What were your expectations for your last job, and to what extent were they met?”
The interviewer is interested in learning about how good a fit your last position was. They will use the information you share to learn whether the role for which you’re applying will be a good match for your qualifications and career objectives.
What the Interviewer Wants to Know
Employers want to know about your past expectations to see if what you expected from your last employer was reasonable, how well the role worked out for you, and if your expectations match the job responsibilities for the new position.
The interviewer will be evaluating whether the job was a good fit for you and your career path in order to gauge whether you’ll be a match for the role for which they are hiring.
How to Answer Questions About Expectations
While there is no right (or wrong) answer to this question, it’s important to be honest, positive, and specific. Even if your expectations were not met, try to mention something positive that you gained from the role. It’s important to not be negative, because that would make the interviewer wonder how you would talk about their company if you were to be hired.
To make sure your answer does not ramble on too long, focus on one specific area and your expectations there. Be prepared to share examples of how the role was a match for your career path with your previous employer.
Examples of the Best Answers
Here are examples of interview answers that you can edit to fit your personal experiences and background.
Example Answer #1
My expectations for my previous job were that I would be teaching my students a completely new eighth-grade English curriculum that I would have to develop myself, but that I would have the support of a co-teacher in all of my classes. This blend of support and independence allowed me to successfully develop a new curriculum that is still used in the school to this day.
Why It Works: Along with clearly stating expectations, this candidate is able to share a big achievement he or she accomplished in the role.
Example Answer #2
In my previous job, my expectation—based on the job description and interview—was that my job would involve working primarily on team-based projects. Ultimately, many more of my projects than expected were ones I developed and completed on my own. While my expectations were not quite met, this independence allowed me to greatly strengthen my skills in all aspects of project development.
Why It Works: This answer is honest about the job not meeting expectations, without coming across as negative. The candidate is also able to deftly pivot to discussing a positive skill gained as a result of the role.
Example Answer #3
One expectation I had for my previous job was that I would have the opportunity as an administrative assistant to step into a variety of leadership roles. This expectation was met. For example, I became the supervisor and trainer for all interns and part-time administrative employees. I also attended a number of seminars on leadership and management. I believe my experience and skills as a manager will serve me extremely well as a supervisor at your company.
Why It Works: This response does a nice job of connecting achievements accomplished at a prior job to what the candidate would be able to provide if given the role at hand.
Example Answer #4
I was responsible for hiring in my previous role. I expected that the position would expand to cover employee training and development, and those expectations were met. I was successfully able to coordinate hiring, onboarding new employees, and employee development programs for current staff.
Why It Works: The candidate is able to clearly describe expectations in one specific area, and then delineate accomplishments.
Tips for Giving the Best Response
Be Honest and Positive. If the job wasn’t exactly what you expected, it’s fine to mention that. However, you should focus on the job itself, not the company, your boss, or your co-workers (if they were a problem).
Be Specific. Pick a focus in your response. You can choose from a variety of topics when referring to “expectations,” from the office environment to your assigned duties to the support from your employer.
Once you’ve selected a focus for your answer, prepare some examples to share with the interviewer.
For example, if your job involved creating web applications, discuss the specific programs you developed and the responsibilities you were given.
Think About the Job You’re Applying For. When selecting the focus of your answer, keep the job for which you are applying in mind. Think about what sorts of expectations you have for this job, and connect them back to your expectations for your previous job.
For example, perhaps you know this company provides professional development for many of its employees, and this is something that is important to you. In that case, you might mention the training opportunities for professional development that helped you achieve your goals at your last job.
What Not to Say
Avoid Negativity. When the job you’re interviewing for is very similar to your previous position, you don’t want to lose consideration for the new job because you didn’t like the old one. Do be careful how you answer, and don’t focus too much on the negative. Instead, address the highlights of the job.
Don’t Focus on Money. While you can tailor your answer to a variety of topics, money is not one of them.
Whether you were satisfied or dissatisfied with your salary is not important to the interviewer.
If you focus on salary, the interviewer will worry that you care more about money than the work itself.
Don’t Share Unrealistic Expectations. Focus on realistic expectations you had for the job. You don’t want to seem like an employee who expects too much from a position, colleagues, or a company.
Possible Follow-up Questions
Key Takeaways
Keep it positive: Even if the previous job did not meet your expectations, avoid being negative in your response.
Only share realistic expectations: Avoid sharing overly ambitious expectations.
Pick one big expectation to discuss: Avoid rambling by focusing on your expectations in one area (as opposed to every expectation you had when you accepted the job offer).
