Hey everyone! I'm new here so pardon me if I somehow missed a similar topic elsewhere on the forums or if I have made a poor choice in posting this here.
I recently moved to a new apartment and got set up with Comcast Xfinity; I'm using a Motorola Surfboard SB6121 modem, and a DLink Router DIR-655 (hardware version B1, current firmware) to access the web.
Speeds, particularly download speeds, seem very good: on speedtest.net I get just under 30MBps down and just over 5MBps up. However, on P2P clients such as torrenting software, and hosting websites such as YouTube and Google Drive, I get terrible upload speed despite using a wired connection for my desktop PC. On YouTube, I get an average of 18-20kbps up, and on Google Drive it's just as bad if not worse. What can I do to diagnose the issue since speed testing websites consistently don't see it? Not sure where to start.
