Cable Internet Connection Speed

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I have three computers hooked up to a router. On one computer, the one closest to the router and with the shortest cable, always downloads at the paid for speed, 4GB. The other two, with 30 ft. cables, always download at a little over 1 GB. The upload speed is the same on all of them.

I have tried removing all but one computer with the 30 ft. cable from the router, no joy. I have tried switching the connections to the router, no joy.

Is it the long cables?

Thanks!
