Very slow internet speeds on the raspberry pi

[zrbtvzvu]

So I got my Raspberry Pi today and i'm already testing alot of stuff with it.

One thing I noticed is that the internet speed is really really really REALLY slow.

I give my Raspberry Pi plenty of juice (5v 2000mah) and have only powered a simple keyboard, mouse and a wifi dongle but my internet speed is unbearable slow.

On my computer my download is 120Mbps and upload is 12Mbps. Now I understand and am ok with the fact that the Raspberry Pi probably wont reach these speeds, but I would like at least half of what they advertise on the ethernet (100mbps) so I was hoping at least 50mbps (through cable or better yet: wifi since thats what i want to use it for).

I tested with both cable and wifi dongle (cable works slightly better though) but I can't even get 1Mbps lots of times. The best I did after 20 tests or so was 11.88Mbps download and 10.04Mbps upload using cable. But this was very rare and extremely lucky. Now I dont even come close to these speeds, especially using wifi.

I sometimes cant even get a single Mbps. Only a small 60kbps download is something that happens alot and I have no idea how or why.

Also the latency/ping is almost 10 times as big as on my desktop computer.

Any idea what is causing this or how I can resolve this? Maybe a setting somewhere in the RBP that limits the internet speeds?

Thanks alot for helping a noob out

This what you should expect:

Internal LAN (10/100): 94.4 Mbits/sec (11.8 MB/sec)
USB 802.11n WiFi: 44.5 Mbits/sec (5.6 MB/sec)

so the speed is normal? how come it simetimes only reaches 60kbps then?

i mean i thought you could at least watch youtube on it?

If you want to watch Youtube you will NOT be able to do this in Epiphany Browser.

In Raspbian you can install KODI Multimedia Software from the Repository or alternatively kweb:

My Internet connection speed is 50/10 MBit and I get full speed from my Pis. From local web servers on my LAN I'm getting full speed (11.2 MBytes/sec).
