slow download speed

[talldude123]

before today, i was surfing very fast, with 300KB/s download speeds.


today, my download speed is 50kb/s, is this spyware making the download speed slow?

no...there are easily 1000 different things...
1st: are you on Wifi or wired network?
2nd: What kind of router do you have?
3rd: What type of internet do you have?

 

[talldude123]

Wireless Network (im wired in though)

D-Link Wireless G Router

I have 1.2MB/s Shaw High-Speed Internet (cable)

contention?

 

[talldude123]

no, because i am the only one on the internet, the other PC is never used.

 

[jdhore1]

at that speed, you SHOULDN'T have even been getting 300KB/s download speeds...1.2mbps translates out to roughly 150KB/s

 

[talldude123]

well i was getting 300kb/s download speed, normally.

Also, the speedtest said 1.2 MB/s...i dont know how fast it is normally.

hmm.....you may be over your bandwidth limit.....but that only speculation......

My friend pulled more than 200gb in one month, and comcast cable pulled the trickle for the next month....he only got 40kbs everywhere so he could go online or check his email, but not download anything insane.....

They even sent him a letter about it and they said they can punish him for one month according to the eula he signed....
I know about this and that is why i have a bandwidth monitor on my server.....which is being set up at the moment....

i might be, but when i go over the limit, my internet company cuts you off, and gives you a phone call.

Some days I get up to 300kbs and today I got 15kbs. Tomoro will probly be better
