| 727051 | 2008-12-10 05:06:00 | Ok, I am on the river scheme through Xnet. How come you guys get over 2000 kbit/s when I can't even make 1000? What sort of things should I be doing. I have already rebooted the router when i come home, as I thought it might of been me that had disconnected, and found that once again Xnet was down. |

Oh well . . . My Xtra connection is the opposite .

| 727055 | 2008-12-10 08:39:00 | Having a premium (paid) account with MegaUpload *definitely* helps with the speed. That said, I get better speeds with Usenet. Part of the problem for many is also their router cannot reliably handle downloading at X speeds, usually because it involves things like multi-threading a download, and too many open connections, routers memory fills up, it crashes or speeds crawl, dns may fail ... seen it all too many times with el-cheapo conexant routers, d-link, dynalink even.. heck, my router could do with replacing to be honest :( |

| 727056 | 2008-12-10 10:39:00 | I have a premium account with Megaupload myself, but I haven't been getting the good speeds like I used to lately, not on my old d-link or new Linksys modem/router either. It's about the same on either of my lines and computers too, so it could just be xtra or megaupload itself. Edit: Their speeds seem better/more stable in the evening or at night, so yeah. But even though the speed fluctuates, the downloads still go at an average of about 1.5 MB every 10 seconds. Not blistering, but I shouldn't complain. |

Lots of things affect speed. How far you are from the exchange. How old the equipment at the exchange is. Whether your modem is ADSL2+ or not (if your exchange is now aadsl2+ that is) What traffic is like - Xnet being known lately for terrible speeds in the evening/night. I get reasonable here at the shop but at home is a lot less. Old equipment in my case........ |
