Download speeds
-
I'm using winhost.com to host my website. When I try to download a 200 MB file from the site, it comes down at less then 10 Mbps. A friend who lives about 40 miles away also experiences the same slow downloads from the website. I contacted support and the rep responded that the speed is normal. But with my cable internet, the file should come down in less than 10 seconds, not in 2 minutes. I don't have download lags with any other site, and I performed a speed test and scored about 360 Mbps. Anyone have experience: 0. With this company (Winhost?) 1. With a slow download speed from a website they maintain?
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.
In another comment you mention unlimited bandwidth on your plan, so assuming Max? looking through the "learn more" section: "Monthly Bandwidth/Data Transfer - Unlimited" This tells you nothing what they mean by bandwidth. Rate of transfer vs amount of transfer. If you are getting 10mb/s and support said that normal, that might be they are limiting transfer to 10MB/s BUT - you have unlimited amount for the month. so not like 50GB the basic plan has. Bandwidth sadly can be marketed as both amount of rate.

You might get better results using a free cloudflare setup with their proxy setup. It means updating your DNS nameservers, but it is usually worth it. For my company website I pay for the higher tier setup for faster speeds and a better CDN.
