Why Is My Upload Speed So Slow Compared to Download Speed?

Asked By TechieDude42 On

Hey everyone! I'm having this really annoying issue with my PC. I'm using an Ethernet connection and while my download speeds are great, ranging from 500 to 1000 MB/s, my upload speeds are stuck between 5 and 9 MB/s. I'm really not sure what's causing this. I guess the only thing I can think of is that I'm using an old HDD, probably around 10 years old. Any ideas on what might be going on?

What's your internet service plan like? You mentioned downloading at around 1GB/s; is that also your upload speed?

First off, where exactly are you uploading? Also, do you know what internet speed you're paying for? That could give us a clue.

If your OS is on that old HDD, replacing it with an SSD could potentially improve your upload speeds. It's a good idea to upgrade, especially since your HDD is quite old!
