| 764282 | 2009-04-13 02:17:00 | Are you with Slingshot by chance? You have to ask yourself what changes you made around the time it went slow... if the answer is non, the best thing you can do is unplug everything from your phone line except your modem. Turn your modem off for a couple of minutes and hard-boot your computer. After switching your modem back on.. if it is still slow ring your ISP. And keep ringing them until it's fixed. If you are replying to my post, I was with Slingshot & now with Vodafone. Don't have a lot of choice where I live. The original poster is with Telecom. |

For the last few days it has been really slow averaging about 50 kbs a second I am use to 200kbs+ on a good connection. My wireless cards are only 54 kbs and I get 200 on cable.Are yr wireless cards capable of 200????? AS I understand it all wireless transmission is regulated to a 54 kbs maximum to stop interference with other appliances. |

| 764285 | 2009-04-14 00:37:00 | He has already tried a wired connection. And wireless G(what he is most probably using) is actually limited to 54megabits per second, which is actually around 400 megabytes per second, which is 400, 000 kilobytes per second, so I highly doubt his wireless card cannot handle it.. |

I don't know what alternate reality your calculations came from but a Wireless 802.11g 54 Megabit connection does not equal 400 Megabytes per second. 54Mbit will give you a maximum transfer rate of 6.75 Megabytes/second (not 400) Which is 6750KB/s (KiloBytes/second) |

AS I understand it all wireless transmission is regulated to a 54 kbs maximum to stop interference with other appliances. It's 54Mbit (Megabit) not Kbit Atheros uses their own Super-G for 108-Mbit and Realtek have their own system which can boost up to 72Mbit. 802.11n can go even faster "The current state of the art supports a PHY rate of 300 Mbit/s" It's not regulated to stop interference, it's just that was the best they could do at the time |

| 764288 | 2009-04-14 01:04:00 | Entered the units into the wrong box here (www.beesky.com), sorry...anyways, the wireless card can definetly handle 200KB/s right? | Blam (54) | ||

In theory it can supply a maximum of 6750KB/s throughput and while in real use the number would be lower it should have no problem sending at 200KB/s provided the connection was reliable and there was no interference etc |
