Oh, you're sharing on a university LAN? Sorry theres nothing you can do about it. You can try another person's line in your office. If you get better results with that line, complain to them that your line needs to be replaced.

If you have a router in between your cable modem, if it has a MAC address option, try changing your MAC address' last digit to something else, 0-F.

Nah, I assumed you were my friend, because my friend had the exact same problem. He also did a fresh install of XP SP2, and it got rid of it. I guess he was lucky that he wasn't DDoSed.

Sean, you can try resetting your Cable/DSL modem, and/or change your IP address. I heard that virus makes your connection DDOS random servers, be careful. -Ray

Well for one, those games REQUIRE at LEAST a 2 Mbps connection for the best possible online experience. If we are to further help you, you need to give your system specifications. By the way, I noticed you lived in austrailia, and yes, that does impact some on the connection performance. TestMy.net is in the United States, and it's basically a few thousand miles away.

You have the 6 Mbps/384 Kbps package. Try changing your IP Address, and do a few soft/hard resets on the modem.

I didn't call the site terrible, I said the RESULTS I got from the site was terrible.

http://www.ultimate-filez.com/store/ Try my selections. Don't worry, I built a list of components that work for the price. Remember, even my cheapest package can play Doom 3 . You're not buying off of me, I just assembled a few NewEgg carts, basically I did the work for you. You can make as much changes to it as you want.

I'm jealous of your awesome connection

Anyway, I want FiOS

Dude... I know the difference between bits and bytes... Thats not what I meant. Firefox is known to exaggerate your download speed numbers.

Firefox is inaccurate at displaying download speeds most of the time, thats why I use IE to show DOWNLOAD speed tests.

You're rated to download at 1.875 MB/sec... Oh look at this, I was right on the money... Exactly 2 min, 47 sec, each time...

No crap, its FiOS, it takes 2 min, 47 sec for me to download Battlefield 2 v1.03 patch from EA Large Downloads. (At this speed)

This is almost too weird... I'm getting like 3 - 4 Mbps more than cap speed.

ROFL

Try optimizing your connection...? ftp://ftp6.us.nero.com/Nero-6.6.0.16.exe - Try this to test your speed.

That is correct, that is why I have been so excited to see my speed all of a sudden go high without doing anything.

Thats actually a good thing, we get more than we paid for. In the attached picture, you'll see that the speed is real.

No... I did not uncap anything... And thank you for your comment.
