Damn its wierd, I used to have 2 star rating 2 days ago ... had about 650 kbps (and it used to say "awsome: running at 150% of your hosts averege")

I think it may be because of my host, but im not soo sure

Did you use cable nut and all those settings? If you have you uhh have a problem with your download.

[xpert]

yea I really have a problem with my download but I think its just my stupid host, they do these things ... ocasionaly 

I'll have to wait a day or two

150%, you might of been cached before and are getting the real read outs.

Noted in another topic when legitably fast connections are usually 100% - 120%.

NOT that I'm saying that this is what's happening, chances are you do have an issue with your host.

Please run command and type tracert testmy.net and post your results, mainly concerned with ping or the ms number.

No it was not cached i'm sure of it, tho it wasnt really 150% - more like 100 something, sometimes 90

The thing is my advertised speed is 256 kbps, but while reinstalling my system I found that while my network card was set to obtain an address automatically it found an IP that gave me really good results here (around 600 kbps)

Now naturally I kept that setting for 2 months and it was awsome

Too bad awsome things dont last too long 

Anyway heres the trace:
