Help with "actual" DL speed of network/computer - Mask - Dec 5, 2010
Alright so I was wondering a bit about Download and upload speed.
When I download I usually NEVER see over 300kpbs, though I have recently used some tools found here to up my speed and whatnot.
Okay so I went and tried downloading from mega upload a trailer for testing the actual speed....
I only got MAX 300kbs and avg about 150-200...
What the hell is up?
Also note I am on wireless+another user is on but not downloading anything...
If it says my download speed is ATLEAST 2MB/s why aren't I downloading it at this rate?

What are you on? Cable, DSL etc..?

I am on DSL at the moment, and running of a Linksys Router and Wireless card.

Yea DSL very bad for downloading. I use cable and only get 800 kb/s - 1 mb

But on speed test it says I get 2mb/s atleast for DL speed, what gives?

The speed at which you download, does depend on where you're downloading from.
Now try resetting your Modem/Router, even to factory settings If need be.
This can make a difference at times.

No prob's mate.
Please advise of the outcome. Also, It may be worth your while to give your ISP a call, to make sure that everything Is okay on their end.
