I just started using Ubuntu, and wow, the performance boost is amazing! My download speeds shot up to 70 Mbps compared to the usual 10 Mbps I get. However, I'm looking to limit the network speed across all devices on my network. Any tips on how to do that?

The ability to limit network speed can also depend on the drivers you're using. If you can check which ones you have installed, that might help.
You can actually limit your download speeds using the `wget` command. There's a specific switch to set a throttle. I used it a lot for downloading stuff while using a neighbor's Wi-Fi, so it keeps everything stable. Look up the `wget` commands to see how it works!
Just a heads up, sometimes it might be a mix-up with how the units are reported. Double-check the numbers you're seeing.
Nope, that's what my Steam download shows.
Ubuntu's performance can be a game changer because it has less bloat compared to other operating systems. Just keep in mind, the faster speeds might cause other devices to lag if you're downloading a lot. Not sure if that's what's happening, but it’s something to consider.
Yeah, it really impacted my other devices when I started using Ubuntu. They were all lagging too!
If you need additional help, there are some great resources online that can provide more detailed instructions about managing network settings on Ubuntu!
I'll give that a try, thanks for the tip!
