just moved into my new house in hull, its owned by a place called clubeasy who rent out houses to you, internet is supplied free and uses 'Karoo'.

its a 10 bedroom house, but doesnt seem to be on a router, it seems like we have a line for each house, along with a phone line aswell.

my ip is 83.100.172.***

Im on adsl broadband, and use a speedtouch usb modem and a filter, no router as far as im aware.

it says my speed is 2.3Mbps

i have an average download rate of 60-70kb/s

this is my results



I have no idea what the speed actually is of my internet, last year it was a 10mb line and im only 5 miles away from there (still in hull and guess im still using kingston communications (hulls phone company))

When i play over the internet on a game, its no unbelievably slow i cant do anything.

iv tested...

Mir - just lags alot
battlefront 2 - movement delay of about 2 seconds
quake - movement delay of about 2 seconds (when hosting a game it runs fine for me, but not for my friend in another room who joined my game)

Can someone tell me if i just have a really crappy internet, or if somethings actually slowing my internet down. Its the same in every room of the house.

At first i thought it was coz im using a usb modem, not ethernet, but im not sure.

@Farill
Be careful in your usage of "kb/s", as that as it stands means kilobits per second - as the image uses, yet you've mentioned a stat which is most likely kB/s (kilobytes per second).

Therefore from your speed image, you are on about the correct speeds for a standard 512kb/s ADSL line. Karoo doesn't offer anything faster than 3Mbit - so thats prolly right :).
