No matter what speed your ISP says you're supposed to get, you'll only get 80% or less depending on traffic volume. If you're ISP is throttling it backwards but still charging you the top speed price, it's time to change provider if you can.:stare:

I just got a connection faster than 90KB/s (1.8MB/s (13ish mbps)for the first time in my life, its glorious.

Though I'm still jealous of Chattanooga's Local-Government-Owned Internet.

Not forgetting here in the UK is you home wired up with fiber optics? I bet the chances are no. Lots of speed to the junction box then all change for the slow lane to you.

Depends on whether you have the latest/fastest router.

I have Google's own Fiber network installed at my house, and this is on my desktop which has a 10/100 MB/s transfer rate. My other computer has a 10/100/1000 MB/s speed and my downloads are literally a gigabyte a second.
