Heya!
This maybe old school thinking but it could be because of "what" is transfered?
When transfering plain text files over a "modem" internet connexion for example, data can be compressed in real time by the hardware and show as transfering 2-3 times the native bandwith.
Already "compressed" files like pictures (jpg, gif, png) or videos though only show "normal" speeds.
I have not looked at transfered speed for years and taken the "relaxed" approach since have the slowest-high-speed internet available (hence cheapest
) and also have a little network box (NAS) at home doing all the work on my local network.
When I transfert I just click and go do something else. Same with loading screens... but this is a lot less since I'm using Linux now and not so much the "other" OS wink, wink.
