Hi all,
I just got CenturyLink Fiber installed in my home, and I noticed that my hardwired download speeds hang at around 400mbps, whereas my upload speeds are in the 900s, very similar to several posts that in this thread. A bit of context:
I'm using my own VLAN compatible router (TP-Link AC2300). However, this pattern of download/upload speed is the same even when using the CenturyLink-provided equipment.
I'm using a Mac running Mojave.
A tech told me that this has to do with my computer's antivirus software essentially throttling down the incoming (download) packets, but not the upload packets. However, using this same router and computer, I was easily able to download/upload the full gig with my previous ISP that offered fiber. Also, I'm not using any antivirus software, unless OSX is running things behind the scenes. Is there a fundamental OSX incompatibility that prevents CTL users from getting maximum speeds?
What is contributing to the slower downloads? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
