What package are you subscribed to? Have you tweaked you pc? I see you took the test @ 9:31pm. Try it later at night or early in the morning, that will give you your best speed. You can also download a pretty large file from the net and see what your download speed is. Then compare it to your tests. This will let you know how accurate the test is. Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum InfiniteZero.
What are your advertised speeds? Is that a DSL 1.5?
Have you tried cable-nuts. Are you virus and spyware clean? Did you clean out cookies and files before testing? Also try the 2992 test file. And maybe an upload test, 579 file. Have you tried a registry cleaner?

Sorry I haven't been on here in a few days. Yeah I use this computer regulary, I'm pretty sure we got the Bellsouth Ultra with 5mb connection or whatever, it downloads at about the same speed with a file from the internet as well.

And to Tommie, I just reformatted my computer earlier today and ran the test again, got the same speed.

If you need any more information I'll look into it and find exactly what we have.

Have you tried a cable-nut file to tweak your connection?

Yes, I've tried this before but didn't really see a difference in speeds.

If you have tried this and it is still installed do you still have the tweaks applied or did you revert back to the way it was. If you reverted back then you may not have given it enough time. It takes a few days for it to really work well. It would make it easier to help you if you would find out for sure whick package you are subscribed to. If you are on the 5Mbps download package then you should be able to do a lot better. Let us know.

Are you on a router, can you run it without the router to see if it has anything to do with it?
