1.	Solve : Insanly Slow Internet?
Answer» MY internet has always been slow, its never really bugged me, until it got even slwoer today. Right now, at its maximum im getting about 24 kbps and over the last 3 days i've been getting less then 10 kbps. This is incredibly frustrating since it now takes me over an hour and a half to download a 30 mb file. I do not have dial up and i know this is pretty much dial up speed. As far as i do know i have the lowest of the qwuest services, which says you can get up to 1.5 mbps. If anyone else has this service, please let me know what your averige downlaod speed is so i know if i need to go yell me head off at qwuest, or if i just need to upgrade. Quote at its maximum im getting about 24 kbps Says where? What type of connection is it? DSL? Windows version? Quote wow my friend has dialup and he gets FASTER then that. It's nice that you have a friend. Don't you think that comments like that might be a source of more frustration to the original poster, who is paying for faster service and more bandwidth, and not getting what's paid for? Ouch that is painful. http://www.speedtest.net Has a Global Stats section where you can select your town and see what others are getting are getting with different services. On your end it could be the wiring in the house, modem, or even a problem with your network it you are using one. I had a problem like this when we switched to cable. The first was the low grade, out dated cable wire running in the wall had to be upgraded to a good shielded RG-6 along with the splitter in the attic upgraded. The other problem was the cable company itself. I am on the tip of a peninsula and we are the last to get upgrades to the system. After a few years they did get to upgrading and it gave us a 10x increase in speed. Call your provider, they might SEND a tech to test the connection to your house and HELP find where the problem lies outside of your computer. Joe
