My download speed is good on adslguide but on the upstream test it stops and uploads nothing.

Testing downstream speed...

If you read my first post without changing anything I was getting speeds below 56K so somewhere there is somthing wrong. I have completed all teh checks on hte pc for anything that woud slow it down and the speed tests was still below 56k..

I tested using three different methods at first. will have to see what tomorrow brings..
