576k Really bad speeds. please help

Recommended Posts

When downloading of the web, i start the download and then it goes to roughly 130K/s. then goes down and down and down very quickly.

And the downloads will carry on going at 52K/s - 59K/s.

this is a really pathetic speed for 576k broadband.

Why cant it at least do 20% which would be about 100K/s at least leaving plenty of bandwidth left 400K/s. please help!! :confused1:

BTW, i have scaned for adaware viruses and spyware, my pc is clean.

P.S. i have visited http://www.testmy.net/topic-2097'>http://www.testmy.net/topic-2097 and it's no help.

:::.. Download Stats ..:::

Connection is:: 470 Kbps about 0.5 Mbps (tested with 579 kB)

Download Speed is:: 57 kB/s

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

Test Time:: Sat Apr 9 02:02:06 UTC+0100 2005

Bottom Line:: 8X faster than 56K 1MB download in 17.96 sec

Diagnosis: May need help : running at only 43.44 % of your hosts average (co.uk)

hey jayko and welcome to the forum :)

so your cap is 576 Kbps downstream and you score 470 Kbps

then add approx 10% TCP overhead

1,1 x 470 = 517 / 576 = 0,8975694 x 100 = 90 % of your cap

thats not bad, remember your overseas

anyways follow the sticky
