| [Speed Problem] DL at a max of 72kbps, but Speed Tests clock at
No matter where I'm downloading from, be it microsoft.com or where ever, the maximum download speed displayed is 72kbps. I've never been able to download faster than that. Yet when I run the speed tests, they report my throughput to be within the 600 to 700 kbps range. Whats the problem?

Could this be a "bit/byte" issue? Speed tests record their results in kbps, but downloads generally report kBps. 72kBytes per sec would be about right for a connection consistently hitting 700kpbits per sec.

I am having the same problem. I had DSL for years from pacbell. I was one of the first people to get it. Every year it gets slower and slower for me. My first year of dsl got me 2.0mbps...a few years later 1.4mbps ...then 1 mbps, now I am at 650kps. I have always had the 1.5 rate plan. This sucks... |
