Why windows 7 is not utilizing the maximum Verizon Fios Speed?

[NigmA DogE]

The internet service that I use in my office is of Verizon Fios and it is a business account, the speed that it provides is 35Mbps down/35Mbps up. This is the ideal thing that I should be getting, in my office there are five system from which two are the Linux web server and three are windows 7 machines, when I ran the speed test on this machines the result were as follows, in the Linux web servers I got the speed of 35.xMbps down/15Mbps+ up constantly as it was expected because the upload speed is always lower than the download speed, as this was not worrying me, the thing I am afraid of is of the windows 7 the result that is provided by the speed test I was getting the speed of 22.xMbps/15.xMbps, the thing is that I have read a lot of reviews about the windows 7 and I am hoping that it shouldn’t create any of the problem in it. As the speed that was showed in the windows 7 is considerable low.

Hi there, the internet browsing speed can be reduced by many of the factors like processor speed, the amount of the variable available and also the computer configuration variable. Also the amount of the application that is present in the computer at a single variable time can slow down the speed of the internet. As you have connected the computers in the connection form so some of the source of the internet is been used there, also see that the connection of the small network that you have done should be done in such a way that no resources are getting wasted or stored in any of the components in the network.

As I had given a call to the customer care of the Verizon internet service provider, they were unable to solve the problem which I was facing in it. When I seen that I was not getting any of the help from them, I just thought of going in the internet for some of the help, as I was searching for the help I just came across some of the utility that helped me in getting the thing solved in some extend. The main issue that I felt was in the PC configuration which was not set properly. Also with some help of the forums that were present they provided some of the solution in it also that helped me a lot in it.
