hi, i wanted to share my problem with everybody. i got my ntl broadband installed yesterday and all works - cool. but i download a lot of stuff (with bit torrent) and when i tried to download something now the average speed would be around 70kbps and I am 100% sure that it should be more as for the same torrent with same amount of seeds and peers, but with my previous connection (Homechoice 4mb) i had average of 120kpbs and it could even reach 250kbps at times. And I could easily browse websites as well. I have ntl 4mb and I can download stuff with average speed BUT i cant really browse during that. it all goes terribly slow. whats funnier my speed test shows the speed of 3,5mbs .... whats wrong....? any ideas?
