[Naffets]

One of the most in depth topics in here i've seen in ages

/shameless bump. seems like it works ok for some sites (aka i can DL at acceptable speed from mythic. but if i try to DL something from Nvidia or anny other random page, i dont get higher then 10 kb/s. something tells me its not my ISP. but the PC itself

2500 / 8 = 312.5kb/sec

the nvidia servers might be slow... probably nothing wrong with anything...

well download speed is very subjective, and its hard to properly test what your computer is getting

try a bandwidth test

 

[GReaper]

both formats are valid, bits just looks better for marketing

The maximum throughput of a device/connection is always in bits, usually Mbit. You always refer to a network card as 10Mbit, 100Mbit, etc. You don't say that you've got a 12.5 MByte/s network card!

It always refers to powers of 10 as well, instead of powers of 2 for file sizes. Some ISPs may set it to a power of 2 though, or somewhere in-between!

varies from 350 kb/s to 1.5MB/s o0 (350,470,607,1140,1540) like a jo jo ><

only other thing i can suggest is contact your isp, to make sure your getting the right amount...

you could try it on a different pc, other than that live with it i guess...

Put the network card at 10mbit half duplex. If that wont work try reinstalling it.

Consider to inactivate your firewall for a short amount of time.

Also, if you're hooked up to a broadband router consider bypassing it and see if your connection speed improves. Otherwise you could try reseting it to factory defaults.



Theres a few things you could try as well. But its probably your ISP. But it sounds good if you tell them you've done all of it. Have you ran pingplotter?
