Broadband connection

[DeathsDoor]

i got a 2MB broadband and when i download stuff it comes as under 90KBpS which is BAD for the speed i have
all people i have spoken to have 2MB and have like 200+KBpS

any one know how to fix , i think it may be my comp and not the internet itself

isp = internet service provider, e.g AOL, BT, Blueyonder, Wanadoo etc.

Are you sure your downloading from fast sites? some sites are slower than others. Your not guarenteed 200kbps from everywhere.

Run a speedtest and post results.

heres my reults :

Have you checked your router to ensure the connection is good?

Tried ringing your ISP yet?

Sure you're not being used as a dump?

well personally i've found that ISP plays a big part in speed, both my mates are on "2mb tiscali" supposedly according to Tiscali, BUT my 1mb BLueyonder beats their net into the ground then rapes its dead corpse and eats the remains.
your not on Tiscali by any chance are you?

maybe you live quite a distance from the exchange, so you can just get 2mbit, but you cant get the full speed of it ?

I'd definitely run some A/V and A/S and then call your ISP.
