Answer» Hi,
We currently have an internet connection of 6mb down and 1mb up. The connection is a shared line with other buildings in our road.
We are looking to replace our internet as the connection speed often drops and our isp has to RESET it which is really annoying because our business relies a LOT on uploading and downloading.
We have looked around and found that for roughly the same price we can get a 2MB down and 2mb up connection with a different isp. This connection is not shared.
We were just wondering that if we WENT for this new connection, would the speeds be greater, the same or worse than a shared line of 6mb down 1mb up?
By the way, we are a UK business LOCATED in Thailand, that's why the connection speeds are quite low. It's still a bit behind the times here
Looking forward to receiving your help.
Thanks
Before you make a change, do several speed tests, and see what your average speed really is.

With the other ISP it will never be faster than 2 Mbs. Even though your current connection slows down sometimes you need to see if it drops below 2 Mbs.Quote from: keiththai on June 25, 2010, 02:22:45 AM ...We currently have an internet connection of 6mb down and 1mb up.

Cable internet is "shared" DSL internet is "not shared" I suspect that is what you are referring to? Don't know what you mean by "ISP Reset"? Speed is more a function of the quality of service rather than type of service.
