Wtf With My New Internet Connection

[Cygnuz-Y]

I just got this new internet service from rogers, supposed to be 5 MBPS, when i do a test in any bandwidth meter the results are amazing i get 3.4 MB and sometimes i get 5.3mb and stuff, the web pages load REALLY fast, every web page, BUT when i try to download using Kazaa or Bittorrent i cant get past 26 Kb/sec , i 've tried everything, maybe i have to change something or maybe this assholes have the ports blocked, can somebody help me?

its 5mbps if u buy their modem...

or its the regular 3

and if u did buy the modem... try tweaking ur isp

and test ur speeds at www.dslreports.com and do a tweak test

also rogers does not gurantee u will get the exact speeds advertised

[Filliz]

Maybe the people you were connected to simply aren't capable of uploading faster then 26KB/s?

Try dl'ing something through newsgroups.

your isp is probably throttling back the ports that Kazaa and even the ports your bittorrent client is using.

i use the bittornado client and it allows you to change the ports.

Not that low, they will be reserved for other services. Try 54321 to 54329.

Edit: interesting that the broadband report didn&#39;t seem to think there was much wrong in getting 1.3Mbps on an advertised 5Mbps service. I don&#39;t think I&#39;d be trusting that report too much.
