Download speed varies by device?
Download speed varies by device?
Added (1). I've been downloading games from Steam on my new desktop. The download speed usually stays around 1.1mb/s. I tried downloading the same game on my laptop in the same location within the same time frame and the download speed stayed around 1.8mb/s. My sister gets 5mb/s on her laptop all the time. What changes this by device and how can I make my download speed faster on my desktop?

It could also depend on the router and Wi-Fi. For example, not all Wi-Fi is the same. There are different channels and speeds. 2.5 Ghz channels are slower than the 5 Ghz channels. And also you have to consider the signal strength.
So if your router support wireless N (5 Ghz) and you only have 2.5 Ghz, then of course, your sister will get a faster download if she is using the 5Ghz. And even if you are both using the same channel, but she is closer or has less interference, stronger signal, then she will get a faster download speed.
There's a lot to guess about it. But without more details, this is the simplest answer for now. You could also try Wi-Fi Analyzer on an Android or iPhone device to see the strength and possible interference. And some routers can have their priorities set for different devices, like my router does. No, download / upload speed varies by the Internet subscription plan you've subscribed to from your Internet Service Provider (ISP) Download speed can vary by device even when connected to the same internet source and that is because some devices have better hardware than others and some devices are better at connecting to Wi-Fi than others. That would make sense, yes.

- Will my jailbreak on one device transfer to another device via iTunes? So I bought an iPhone 5 today and I'm afraid to sync it to my Apple ID/ iTunes because my 8GB iPod is also synced to that iTunes account and its jailbroken. I don't want my jailbroken iPod to affect my iPhone 5. Will it affect it? I don't think it will but I just want to make sure before I sync it for the first time.
- Why does my laptop get such bad internet download speed while my Iphone gets 10 times more? My router is downstairs connected to a Windows vista PC. That PC connected with an ethernet cable gets around 90-100Mbs download speed. I did another speed test on my iphone upstairs next to my laptop, and it got 80-90 Mbs. But When I did the speed test on my laptop, it was only 10Mbs down. It's really annoying because it takes like a billion years to open youtube and everything lags.
- Sudden drop in download speed? Yesterday I noticed that suddenly my internet speed was terrible. It still says the signal strength is "excellent" but i can't even manage to watch a YouTube video at 240p which is really saying something. Also I have noticed with my iPhone connected to the same Wi-Fi I still get great download speeds and no problem watching videos and such. Any help would be great.
