Question

How do I find the internet capacity in my computer system?

Community Answer

I'm not sure what "the internet capacity" in your computer means to you. It could mean your internal ethernet/wifi card speed specifications, or it might mean what your home's router/cable modem's speed is. A third option might be your internet service supplier's upload download speeds are. Search Google for Internet Speed Test. This will show you what the actual combined system (your equipment plus the ISP equipment) speed is.

Method 1. Close unwanted processes. Method 2. Enable parallel downloading. Method 3. Close unwanted apps and programs. Method 4. Clear browsing data. Slow download speeds are an annoyance. Fortunately, the above methods can help you solve this trouble.
