C-Money17 Posted February 2, 2007 CID Share Posted February 2, 2007 Lately, I've been having some serious trouble with my internet being slow, and I mean SLOW. This happens all the time to me, and it's working my last nerve. I'm thoroughly convinced that my ISP, Wildblue, is the epitome of suck. My regular DSL speed is supposed to have a download speed of a little over 50 kB/s, and a pretty fast upload speed as well. Now, I know that's not as fast as some other folks' internet speeds around this site, but it's good enough for me to download music, movies, and such. Prepare to see what's probably the worst DSL connection in history. I used the Express Dual Test: :::.. testmy.net test results ..::: Download Connection is:: 131 Kbps about 0.13 Mbps (tested with 386 kB) Download Speed is:: 16 kB/s Upload Connection is:: 24 Kbps about 0 Mbps (tested with 97 kB) Upload Speed is:: 3 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net (Server 1) Test Time:: 2007/02/01 - 6:13pm D-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-YGUKRZWA4 U-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-JAOU02F7C User Agent:: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1 [!] As you can see, my connection speed at the moment is only marginally faster than Dial-Up. I've called Wilblue's tech support numerous times, but they don't help much at all. I just want my internet to work like it's supposed to for once. I know I'm a n00b to these forums and there's probably many topics like this one, but if anybody can help me out, you'd have my eternal gratitude. Thanks.
