this is very funny because we are only paying for 10mbps cable and i get double that......and i am on a wireless network with a crappy base model G router.
well "pirating.....we were tough to share"

 

WOW I'm now getting 4.991 mbps down, 654 kbps up. ATT DSL.

I hadn't checked my speed in many months and I was always getting around 1.9-2.5 mbps down. However I purchased a new custom build computer about a month ago. I had a 4 year old Compaq desk top running XP SP2. It had all the crap oem software and of course the latest Norton internet security package. Boot time was getting just awful plus the original ATT/Yahoo DSL software had lots of wierd utilites and stuff. Anyway I was expecting the new machine to solve the slow booting problem and I avast AV software instead of Norton. However I never suspected my basic DSL speed to improve at all, what a pleasent suprize.

Lesson is stay away from the mass produced big vendor computers if possible and Norton is nothing but a pig these days

A bit slow but then things are busy at this time online , British Telecom reckon the line is good for 6 Mbps and have had results top out at 5.5 Mbps on a quiet day.

hi arrie,
Speak to your provider as I did.

It started to slow down using Sky so I reported it, they found the speed had been set too high for my location IIRC 5Meg, so I was picking up so many errors the whole link slowed down.

They reset my link to 3meg and it works like a charm.

It could be you system error rate is high rather than the transfer rate being low.
