....on who you are downloading from what the provider is limiting you to,and your settings.

WhenMx is not a good place to test your speed. Go to PC pitstop and perform an upload/download test. They also have several tweaks you can download to max your speed.

download bandwidth test results:
transmission speed: 572 kb/s

upload bandwidth test results:
upload speed: 248 kb/s

so, if isp is limiting the speed, is it still possible to change???

no ChamCham you can't change it unless you pay them more or in some area's you are just stuck with it, and don't uncap your modem cause you will lose your internet and get sued

Pcpitstop said i can dl 696K Kb/s when i can dl about 1mb/s :P

Well I have comcast and I get 380-410KB thats kiloBYTEs not bits. And uploading is usually between 25-31KB a sec. I downloaded the Knoppix CD iso a couple days ago and its 700MB and it took alomst exactly 30 mins.

If the question is whats everyone's dl/ul speed... mine is:
4.5 mbit/down
512 kbit/up
It's $42.95/month

As for the problem of your speed, there is nothing you can do about it.The speed you have you are stuck with, unless you want to pay more.

yeah, I use charter as my backup connection...good speed but their news server sucks ass...3mb/s don't mean dick when you can only dl from the newsgroups at 256k. I use verizon for my daily newsgroup feeding. The charter connection is just for p2p.

I hope this is true, I cant find any info on this. Charter actually down graded my connection about 6 months ago. Now my upload sucks balls

Download Speeds...3-6kb/s
