Limited download speed explanation

Viewed 103

We want to download objects from Google Storage via the application via the 5G network. But the download speed does not rise above 130 Mbps, despite the fact that the speed test on the device shows 400 Mbps. Can you please tell me if there are any restrictions on the download speed in this service?

Google Cloud Storage doesn't have any hard limit 1, but the network between your device and Google infrastructure may affect your download speeds.
Check your ping to GCP regions with this tool. If your data is stored in a location that has very high latency, try moving your storage bucket somewhere closer.
You can also take a look at this article to find out how you can improve your Google Cloud Storage performance.

5G implies a mobile device, and I do not know how to tune the TCP settings on a mobile device, but one of the fundamental limits to the performance of a TCP connection is:

Throughput <= WindowSize / RoundTripTime

If you cannot make the RoundTripTime smaller by accessing things more closely to you, you can seek to increase WindowSize.
