Gah. Okay. So i'm supposed to be on ADSL2+.
The speed test from speedtest.net shows that i'm reaching speeds of between 6mb/s and 7mb/s, which is all well and good, but when i'm surfing the web, the speed is nowhere near 6 or 7 mb/s. Sometimes, i'm certain dial-up would load faster.
This is the most recent result from a speed test:
All of the speed test sites I use give me pretty much the same result, but there is no way in heck that the said speeds are being applied when I surf the web.
I'm using a Speedstream 4200 modem, and the firmware is updated. I'm thinking this could be the issue and i'm looking at getting a new modem when I get paid.
Is there anything else that could be factoring in the speed issues i'm having? I'm fairly new at all of this, and it just baffles me as to why the speed tests are showing the speeds I SHOULD be getting, but it's just not happening. Downloading things is fine, like programs or movie/music files.. They're as fast as they should be. It's just general web surfing that is slower than my 92 year old grandma in slow motion.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
