kchi55 Posted November 17, 2005 CID Share Posted November 17, 2005 :::.. Download Stats ..::: Connection is:: 735 Kbps about 0.7 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB) Download Speed is:: 90 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (server2) Test Time:: Thu Nov 17 2005 15:47:43 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time) Bottom Line:: 13X faster than 56K 1MB download in 11.38 sec Diagnosis: May need help : running at only 17.14 % of your hosts average (verizon.net) Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-RA0VF5W8Y Windows XP home SP2 This is the download speed that I currently have which is only 17% of my hosts average. I really need some help fixing this download problem, I don't know if it's a problem with my location, but as of right now I highly doubt it. If anyone has any information on how to quicken things up a bit please let me know. By the way... I am pretty computer illiterate with computers so if you do have any advice, please make it easy to understand. Thanks alot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your advertised package speed is 768 dsl, I think that's as far as your speeds could go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallowEarth Posted November 18, 2005 CID Share Posted November 18, 2005 Verizon said you're on a 768 connection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
