No matter how fast your connection to the Internet, speeds on the Internet itself can affect download performance. Other factors that govern an Internet download speed include:

• The performance of the server hosting the requested website
• The bandwidth of the connection between the website's server and the Internet
• Internet traffic patterns
• Router latency
• Backbone usage
• Type of file transfer (FTP file transfers download faster at higher speeds than HTML web pages.)
• Time of day (Certain times of day tend to have higher Internet traffic than others.)
• Your PC (Some components may impose speed limitations.)
