Summary
799.02 Mbps download and 519.53 Mbps upload replaced 4.54 Mbps and 8.26 Mbps after Claude advised a Reddit user to swap an Ethernet cable.
The user had already checked for ISP throttling and antivirus-related limits, then turned to the chatbot after days of unexplained slow service.
A simple cable replacement delivered roughly a 100-fold speed jump, turning what looked like a provider issue into a local hardware fix.
Reddit reactions split between mocking reliance on AI for basic troubleshooting and arguing tools like Claude help less tech-savvy users solve practical problems.
