Topic: Problem with Nintendo Switch 2 internet connections on Gigabit plan

Good evening. Hi everyone, first post here. I am having a problem with my internet in general and we are troubleshooting some devices and slow speed. I am having issues with my Switch 2 on wireless and wired. I have a WiFi 7 Gigabit plan. My provider is Spectrum and they have been working on vabirous issues for over a month. This is to address the Switch 2. They tested the ethernet cable coming into the Switch 2 and it is sending over 1 GBPS of signal. The cable is new and the information is definitely coming. However my Ethernet connection has never tested over 300 Mbps. My PC wired on the same router gets about 930Mbps. I am connected via 5G WiFi and have never achieved over 250 Mbps even in the same room as the router. The router is capable as have seen numbers online for wired and wireless much higher, from the 400s into the 800s. I asjusted MTU, IPV6, etc. according to what I have read. I also realize that I don't necessarily NEED much higher speeds but if I am capable of it we are trying to find out why. I spoke with Nintendo and since they outsourced their customer service in the past few months they are no help and they could not understand what I was asking. I even wanted to rule out a hardware problem so I was able to hook a different Switch 2 system up to my setup and got the same numbers. Spectrum said they had no suggestions but if anyone on here could help I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

This thread on reddit has screenshots of the higher speeds mentioned:

I always assumed that Nintendo throttled their downloads to a certain degree. Like the connection is probably fine it's just being limited by Nintendo?

Thank you for responding. I didn't know if anyone would as it's been a week since I posted.

I thought of throttling also but then I saw this thread.

Where someone did the speed test on the S2 and got 800. I found another reddit thread I can't find agin where a screenshot was posted aroound 450. I did get 318 the other day which is the highest ever but most of the time I hover around 290-300.

@Switchguy maybe it's to do with your location and whichever server your reaching.
He might be located closer to whatever servers that Nintendo is using in that area.
That's all I can think of anyway 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️

@Jimbojones Thanks for replying. You might be right as I have looked everywhere online possible for any answer and have found absolutely nothing.
