gigerm Posted April 12, 2005 CID Share Posted April 12, 2005 ok i helped a friend because he lost all of his files wen his computer crashed, so i helped him get almost 16 gigs back within a week. It was over AIM trasnfers. Since then its been about a month and my uplaod speed on AOL, and AIM is incredibly slow its like half of what it was. I treid doing an AOL clean up with my personal storage space, upload speed is the same. I did a virus scan, Ad-Aware scan, Diskc Cleanups and Disk Defraags. My upload speed is still the same. I have a cable modem (optimum Online). how do i get my uplaod speed back to normal again??...i have no idea what to do or where to look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One star =( and Your connection is: 128 Kbps (about 0.1 Mbps) You uploaded at: 16 kB/s Your TRuSPEED: ^info^ 137 Kbps :: 17 kB/s (7% overhead factored) Bottom Line: You are running: 2 times faster than 56K and can upload 1 megabyte in 64 second(s) Diagnosis: May need help : running at only 56.14 % of your hosts average (aol.com) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
