Downloading @ Twice My Speed?

[Storm]

ok, i just switched to an ethernet modem, which i now have connected 2 my router......

my max speed was 1,1 Mbps, (140 KB/s)

now i cant normally get higher than 110KB/s

they way i just switched it, i got 2 FTP downloads going @ +/- 90KB/s, simultateously.......

my question kinda is, how is this possible?????

You sure the download speed didn't drop steadily after a couple of minutes?

Regardless, I have seen this happen before, there is a thread on it somewhere. Someone more informed in the history of software world will be able to tell you. :D

What's your rated internet connection speed (i.e. what do you pay for)?

[Storm]

i payed for the 140KB/s connection........

and, no, my conection stayed stable for a couple of minuits (it dropped from 140 a piece to a steady 90 a piece), else i woulndt have looked up


could it be because of the router?? ive heard routers booting cable speeds, but i have never heard of it for ADSL....

What ISP sells a 1120kbps connection?

[muchspl2]

lots of isp's raised there dl speeds awhile back, and if you didn't read the email and turn off your router for 5 minuet then cycle it back on you didn't get the "upgrade"

nah, i just checked it........ still 1120/352 kbps..........

You are probably downloading a file that has a lot of redundancy.
