Network Problems? Upload Speeds low, even when wired?
Hi,
I recently upgraded my router to a Verizon router to have a 75/75 connection.
However, even when wired, my upload speed reaches a max of 10. However, when using other laptops, their speeds reach up to 40 or nearly 50.
These are my specs.

4096MB ATI AMD Radeon R9 M290X (Dell) 70 °C
CrossFire Disabled

What Alienware do you have?
Some Broadcom drivers have a weird "green" setting that holds speed to 10. Check your driver settings (or clean-install a better one). Also, use Cat-5e cables or better and all ports should be 10/100 or gigabit.

Wow, I'm sorry I didn't say it.
Alienware 18.
Will test out your theory now.
