| 1167345 | 2011-01-06 10:18:00 | your download is slower than your upload, definately not normal. Check the connection speed on your router, if it is a reasonable speed then something software related is going on. How is your monthly usage ? |

| 1167346 | 2011-01-06 22:41:00 | Here is the speed test result. Download Speed: 1607 kbps (200.9 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 2119 kbps (264.9 KB/sec transfer rate) Latency: 37 ms Wednesday, January 05, 2011 10:04:28 PM Your download is slower than your upload, definitely not normal. Check the connection speed on your router. How is your monthly usage ? Would agree with dugimodo (mostly), I would say you have a data cap shaping problem (speed drops when you reach your monthly usage limit), or you have a problem with your internet provider . |

| 1167347 | 2011-01-06 23:06:00 | For instance I get 6400 kbps down/600kbps up on ADSL2+, you should at least get the same speed down as up (and probably more, depends on the plan/option you've got with your provider. | feersumendjinn (64) | ||
| 1167348 | 2011-01-07 04:21:00 | I performed the updates (now have IE 8) as suggested by Wainuitech. I did a speed test just now which is even more dismal than before: Download Speed: 1528 kbps (191 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 434 kbps (54.3 KB/sec transfer rate) Latency: 26 ms Thursday, January 06, 2011 10:14:41 PM All of your suggestions and observations are appreciated. |

| 1167349 | 2011-01-07 04:28:00 | dugimodo, you stated: "Your download is slower than your upload, definitely not normal. Check the connection speed on your router. How is your monthly usage ?" How do I check the connections speed on my router? Do you mean my wireless router? Also you refer to my monthly usage. I'm not aware of any limitations on my usage or records kept of the usage amount. I am on cable. |

| 1167350 | 2011-01-07 05:07:00 | Sorry, we have limits on our internet usage in New Zealand, thought everybody did ;). Perhaps yours is truly unlimited. What model of modem/router do you have? You may be able to access it's internal settings by typing its ip address into your internet browser (possibly in the instruction/installation manual (which also may be on your internet providers website)), though I think the Motorola cable modems that are used here have no such access and that only applys to ADSL modems. This may help www.speedguide.net Who is your internet (TV etc as well?) provider (perhaps we can look it up). You should still first ring your cable provider and moan at them, :), there is definitely a problem and it's getting worse (any tv problems?). |

| 1167351 | 2011-01-07 18:02:00 | Note my latest speed test results taken less than two minutes apart. There seems to be quite a bit of variance. Does this indicate anything? I am on Charter Cable, which is also my cable TV supplier. Additionally, I have a wireless router for use with my laptop around the house. I think that I will boot up my laptop and see what a speed test with it shows. More later.
