Thread: Broadband Fast?

  1. #1
    I'm not sure if this goes here? But I just got broadband and I here everyone say its so fast but the highest download speed I've got it around 26Kb\s. Am i doing something wrong?

    I've got dsl myself wich is comparable with broadband.
    And my dl aren't always going as fast as i want them to be,but 26kb is not a bad average,believe me.But you can expect yourself to much higher speeds when you got good sorces.I only had one source once wich gave me 200kb/s.
    Just be patient or look up a popular file and see what speeds you get.I think you'll like what you see!

    look into news gourps or bittorrent if you want speed

    try taking a broadband test http://2wire.com sounds like you just haven't got a good source or a popular file from lots of people

    It depends what broadband connection you have ...

    I have 576k sp can download at a speed of 60kb max ....
    Sounds like you have 256k ... so 26 sounds about right.

    max ive ever got on a bittorent download was 120, that was fun, but the tests show my connection is capable of a lot more, this test actually came out slower than another test i ran, but still

    bandwidth = 883.7 Kbps

    Thats with ntl 1mb connection, with bittorent d/l running
