I had an old pc in the office running 4x 32inch tvs and a widescreen monitor in portrait, tv's for cctv and the monitor shows gps tracking
it was struggling to keep up with the cctv, had to turn the quality right down
upgraded my pc at home, brought my old one in to swap for this one so I could turn the quality up a bit
got it up and running but internet seamed a bit slow... fired up a
www.speedtest.net and speeds were crap
had to stand on a chair holding the keyboard and mouse to use the pc so trouble shooting was a pain in the arse, checked everything I could, couldn't see a reason why... I was getting 1Mbps while office pc plugged into the same hub was getting 60Mbps
maybe a crap network cable? the switch is right in front of the that pc
swapped the cable to a spare one that came with a cctv camera, nice and short... speed results were even worse? maybe the camera is only 1000Mbps so they send crap cables? all a bit weird
pulled the network cable out of the printer to try that, it's a decent quality cable... speeds up and down a bit
it's driving me crazy at this point, climbing on and off the chair to test sh*t
then it hits me....
fire up edge and run the speed tests.... all fast
it's basterd chrome
wtf happened to chrome, it was the best by miles for years
wasted at least an hour of my life, drove me totally crazy
