Download/Upload speeds "off"

My speeds are half what they're supposed to be. I have 20 down 2 up. Coming in at 10.3 and .9-1.3. I hook up my nighthawk and it's 23 and 2.3. I've adjusted prioritization and everything. Any ideas?

I had a similar situation since they provided the .05m firmware update.  I have Fios 50/50 down/up.  Before the update I always used the Preemptive algorithm and always had somewhere along the lines on 58 down and 55 up.  After the update, my speeds on Preemptive were reduced to around 40-42 down/up (sometimes in the 30's).  After the update, if I change to the Reactive algorithm,  I get my full speeds again.  However my personal feeling is the games are more solid on Preemptive, and even with the reduced speeds, I don't experience any buffering or anything when people are using netflix or anything else having to do with my netork.  So I leave it on preemptive for gaming.  If you have tried it already, check out your speeds when using the Reactive algorithm and see if your full speeds return.  That's the only suggestion I have.

Preemptive is a more conservative algorithm and yes most get lower speeds on preemptive than reactive.

 

And I also play on pre even thou with my speeds say I should be playing on reactive as I get better BB and quality ratings on pre,along with smoother gaming IMO

Reset device prioritisation & apply and see if your speeds return.

I did that already Fraser with no luck. I've got a lot of crap going on around the house right now so I'll try more tomorrow.

 

Thanks for all the suggestions eveyone. It's appreciated. B)
