Internet slow in the last couple of weeks
I am on 1 Gb internet and recently my download speed (LAN) is consistently below 200 Mb/s My upload speed, however, is above 800 Mb/s. I also noticed a considerable slowdown of streaming on my TV...

Community Power UserIf you're still seeing 200mbps down on your computer, there should be no issues with streaming on TVs since even a 4K stream uses only a fraction of that bandwidth.
- When doing the speedtest, is your PC connected to ethernet or on wifi?
- Which router are you using?
- How/where are you testing the upload and download speeds? Not all speed test sites will offer gigabit speeds to test with.
- For the TV, is that using the Optik TV box, a third party Android box, a Roku or is the streaming an app on the TV itself?
- Is the TV connected to ethernet or wifi?
- On the TV are you trying to watch 1080p or 4K streams? Which app(s)?
Support reset my modem to factory settings and that seems to have resolved the issue. I now have the download speed on ethernet over 900 Mbps and Wifi at 175 close to my TV (used to be 15Mbps).
