**eagle** Posted March 29, 2005 CID Share Posted March 29, 2005 Might be cause you are to far away from the central office. same thing happened to me, you should really contact you ISP if your speeds are that slow. your not getting what you payied for. but ya i would call see if they can do anything for you. Or you cant ask for help here they will show you what to do Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/3642-maybe-i-have-the-wrong-idea-about-my-speed/#findComment-37335 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would first try tweaking your settings using these tweaks. https://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php I would next try tweaking SP2 if you happened to install it. https://www.speedguide.net/read_articles.php?id=1497 Then try VAN Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/3642-maybe-i-have-the-wrong-idea-about-my-speed/#findComment-37495 Share on other sites More sharing options...
