So I am trying to download a game but for some reason I am only getting an average of 150k/second. 
 
I run a speed test and these are my results -   
 
Also, my internet is running greatly I can watch videos and everything without any lag. It only happens when I download something. 
 
Please help me. D:

it depends,I occasionaly speed test at 65mb and still places like download.com can give me download speeds of like 24kb. It all depends on the server you are downloading from and your distance to it. Or is this every time you download?

Just had to post it because it came to mind.  I wish Avenue Q was still playing, I got lucky enough to see it on Broadway.  
 
Your internet connection is way better than mine, so I feel little sadness for you.  You may want to check your browser settings as well as try other sites with large downloads to see if its the same issue.  It could be they don;t have a matching upload speed to your download.

Hey you are right.  I just checked out their website and saw they are selling tickets for a New York Venue. 
 
I may be getting some tickets and going on a plane trip this month.

Not yet, but I dont want to have to wait on the phone for 3 hours so that is my least prefered option.
