T-Com Home Internet connection with maximum 100 Mb/sec dowlnoad speed through traditional telefon wire, router is also supplied by T-Com. Download speed through wire (no Wifi) connection to a Windows 10 desktop pc or laptop measured by Speedtest.net is about 80 Mb/sec with relatively narrow speed fluctuation. Through the very same wire connection and cable, practically in the same time, the download speed of a KDL-43W807C Android Sony smart TV- measured by speedtest.net ranges from 10 to 55 Mb/sec, i.e. the speed does not exceed 55 Mb/sec (vs 80 Mb/sec through a pc) and speed fluctuation is large. Due to the lower and variable download speed, a movie is offten not continuous but interrupted even from a strong server (such as You Tube). What can be the reason for the lower donwload speed by Sony TV and its substantial fluctuations?
Thanks

Hi there,

Hi jcsaba,
Do you get the same results if the TV is connected via Wi-Fi? If they are different, I'd recommend changing the Ethernet cable currently used to connect the TV as it may be causing this. It's possible to test the TV independently if you get high speeds through 4g for example, by connecting the TV to your phone via a Wi-Fi hotspot and running the same test. Let us know how it goes so we can get this one sorted!

Hi,
The point of the test with a different network is to find out if the issue is caused by the TV itself (independently from your home network).
You could also try resetting the TV to factory settings to make sure that the firmware is not running into some kind of a glitch. You can find the steps here.
