Re: Still on half the download speed

1) firstly I am assuming you have checked to make sure you are provisioned for 60mbit.
2) you have got exactly the same problem I had this time last year. When I upgraded to 100mbit I had a shub forced on me. My vmng300 always gave me reliable speedtests on 50mbit and I expected the shub to do the same on 100mbit. Every speed tests I ran never came back above 36mbits and when I booted into safe mode it went up to 60mbits ish. For some reason my shub didnt like speed tests and if I did some proper downloading on newsgroups or multiple http downloads from somewhere like www.gamershell.com the cumulative speed was ~12MB/sec (happy ferret?) and I was maxing out my connection. I still moaned my ass off and got my vmng300 back

Long story short, you can't rely on speed tests. Download some files and you'll see you are getting your full speed.

I wouldn't use either and switch to Microsoft Security Essentials
