Well I'll put it this way, using my internet connection... But any ideas why it would say other network traffic is congesting the link?

Here's my current speed: :::..

Thanks to all.

Does anyone else think that IE 7 is very similar to firefox? Interesting.

The advantage of advertising money.... I didn't even know about that. And I meant portable video players btw.

ipod's are portable DVD players too, I think that puts them way ahead of everyone else.

I don't have wireless internet, but is there anyway anyone can be using my internet?

Ok guys, sorry for keepin this stupid topic up forever but i ran the test @ the other site in van buren's very helpful post and here are the results: TCP/Web100 Network Diagnostic Tool v5.3.3d click START to begin Another client is currently being served, your test will begin within 45 seconds Checking for Middleboxes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

This is only a couple of minutes later. P.S It seemed to get stuck around 13 and 14 % done. I doubt that will help considering the most knowledgeable people in this forum have thrown their hat into the ring, I guess its a lost cause......

This is what is so frustrating, If i knew the connection sucked, I'd settle. But when I use the same connection to a laptop and get these speeds its so annoying! :::..

Well I'm sure they're gonna stop, but I have a lot of other friends who "share" music and haven't gotten a letter.

If you want to help the post is called "Help With Speeds Please!"

@ aaascreensavers, the fishtank one contains adaware that kaspersky beta 2006 detected... So you probably don't want to download it.

Yeah, I don't share files, but I know a lot of other people who do and wanted to try and help em' out. Thanks for the reply

So people only get caught if they have shared files in the programs library( In these cases limewire ) and are uploading them?

I'd gess around 70 ft? It runs from the loft to the room downstairs and a little left. And I haven't tried swapping cables.

I was curious, because like 5 people I know got a letter in the mail. Is it because they have shared files or what?

This is the test results from a friends laptop using the exact same ethernet cable as the one getting speeds. ( I reached 79% earlier ) :::..

I think im gonna give up.

Does anyone have ANY ideas?

I got an idea if you want, but it'd take a large store and some connections. Take a laptop with a bunch of cd's/dvd's/software etc( all of course downloaded)... and bring it into a store like bestbuy. Then go through the store and pick out all of the cd's/dvd's/software and walk out of the store with it. People don't realize it's the same thing and would be interesting to see people's reactions. Haha, mere impossible to do, but would be interesting.

Yes, its already set at let windows choose what's best.

Yes, I've tweaked the slow one, ( not the fast one ) It's virus/spyware free, I haven't tried connecting just one to the router, but I'll try that next...
