    @monsttahh, I'm sorry, you're saying that your internet provider provides you with a 5Gbps (equivalent to approximately 625 MB/s) internet speed?

  • yes it does but in EA App im getting max 92mb/s

    @monsttahh, Are you certain you're not mixing up GB/s, Gbit/s, MB/s, and Mbit/s? The capitalization makes a significant difference in the expected speed.

    Little edit: Even if your PC boasts a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port and your internet provider offers a 5Gbps (equivalent to around 625 MB/s) internet speed, are your modem/router or switch equipped with 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports, or are they confined to the standard 1 Gigabit Ethernet ports? Additionally, what type of Ethernet cables are you using—Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 7, etc.? Or are you relying on WiFi?

  • yes i am sure my router has 5gb/s and has 1 port of 2.5gb/s and 2 others at 1gb/s and i have a 2.5gb/s ethernet card on my pc in other platforms like Rockstar Launcher i get the full speed of it and here im stuck with 92mbps and im on ethernet cable.
