Are transfer speeds tied to internet speed? - eviltoast

When i connect to my jellyfin server to stream/download video/audio the speeds are tied to my internet speed. If my internet speed drops so does the transfer rate from my server. However it seems tied to my internet download speed (which varies from 0.5 to 80 mb/s), not the upload speed(which is usually 2 mb/s), and if i disconect my router from the internet I’m able to react the maximum allowed by my hardware. Is this normal? Or maybe something is wrong, or needs special configuration?

If relevant, I connect to a tp link router, which connects to the router from my isp.

    Have you actually confirm this, e.g. using iperf3?

    That being said, I heard some routers behave badly when one of the devices connected to the lan/wan port is using 100mbps nic instead of gigabit nic, which caused the router to downgrade to 100mbps speed on all lan ports.
