ok I have at&t dsl. We are paying for the higher teir package-
Our top of the line product - one dynamic IP address at our highest speed available (up to 6.0 Mbps)!
So, of course I do not expect to be gettin 6.0Mbps ... but here are my line speeds (test was done @ speakeasy.net/speedtest)
Download Speed: 2630 kbps (328.8 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 641 kbps (80.1 KB/sec transfer rate)
I am happy with my UP speed, that that DL speed is HORRIBLE.
I called and complained. The person I talked to was completely uneducated in anything havin to do with computers (figures). He told me to connect to my router and read off the connection speed it was displaying. I switched off my old cable internet because they run a monoply over here and charge sick prices. The at&t people promised the same numbers for less.
Connection Speed:
• Incoming: 6016 kbps
• Outgoing: 768 kbps
Ok, so? the router runs off sbc program that looks are newb and fancy. I explained that i getting 1/3 of what i should be. He went on to say it might be spyware and shit, so i countered with "I am on a fresh install of XP with anti virus and 3 anti-spyware programs... (a lie, but i know my computer is clean)."
he had nothing to say to that except the line we are connected to is giving us what it is supposed to be giving us, and the problem lies in my computer.
thanks for your help jackass. -_-
anyways, anyone have any ideas on trying to get a better DL speed, i think im going back to the overpriced cable company over here.
Any good tweaks that might help me?
