Hi all,

I am useless with settings and fiddling with my set up. Are there any softwares which can automatically speed up my internet and my system? I am using showtimearabia sattelite, I have tried many settings yet to achieve even 20% of my actual speed.

I tried to buy ActiveSpeed software online but for some reason, their online software is off !

Can you please suggest a software which is easy to use. I dont need free ones, I want something that actually works.

Thanks

I'll need more information. Is your speed slow when you are surfing the web or is it when you download files?

It is slow when I am downloading files. It used to be 100-200 Kbps now its slower its like 30-60 Kbps.

What is your advertised speed. If possible, can you ping your connection so I can see what I need to do?

Thanks

Its 1Mbps, download via sattelite and 64 kbps upload via DSL.

Sorry I dont know how to ping my connection !! can you tell me how can I do that?

Thanks for your help

Hi forum,,

Great forum here. I looked around for a while to solve my problem but I could'nt. Can someone please help me? I have a Sattelite connection through Shownet (based in Kuwait). The upload is through DSL 64 KB and the download is via sattelite 1MB but I get much lower download at about 30-60 Kbps!  The odd thing is that my download when I test it is  ok::

Download Stats ..:::

Connection is:: 3100 Kbps about 3.1 Mbps (tested with 1496 kB)

Download Speed is:: 378 kB/s

Tested From:: http://www.testmy.net/

Diagnosis: Awesome! 20% + : 88.79 % faster than the average for host (140.34)
