IE 11 reduces bandwidth speeds?
I have a 50mbps account which I regularly verify via speedtest.net. Recently, I became concerned because my speed had dropped to around 32mbps (generally, it will run around 45mbps give or take). I decided to check different speedtest sites around the internet. Surprisingly, 1 or 2 (out of 5 or so) showed above 40mbps, but the majority showed the same as speedtest.net...32 mbps <- ->. Then, I decided to check with Firefox 25.01. To my surprise, speedtest.net showed my expected 45mbps. I've run the test between the two browsers at speedtest.net multiple times and the result is consistently the same.
Resetting IE settings via Internet Options/Advanced|Reset changes nothing. Still 32mbps. FF is my default browser. Both tested from same system.
Googling various phrases (IE 11 slow bandwidth, IE 11 slow internet speeds, etc) returns nothing relevant.
IE 10 always produced the expected =>45mbps. Below are screenshots of the IE 11 and FF 25.01 results. These results are consistent over 10 tests:
