Hello. After reading a lot of threads on VM internet ive seen a few people with the same problem I have. Basically im not getting the advertised speed of my 10mb broadband, more like about 5.5mb! The highest my download goes is 620 kb/s ( This is on private torrent tracker with 100Mbit seeders)
Its been the same ever since the 10mb came out. Ive called tech service a few times, but nothing is ever done about it, and im really just looking for a reason why im not getting the full bandwith.
Im an old Telewest customer, living just east of Glasgow ( I run off the Uddingston 'exchange'(right word??) I do believe). I have a Cable modem the Motorola Surfboard 5100.
Ive had cable for over 10 years and our service has always been jumpy (stb freezes quite a bit). My room is situated at the back of the house, so the engineer had to use a lot of cable to get from where our cable comes into our house to where my computer is. Could this affect it?
I connect my modem to the comp with a USB cable, ive tried using an ethernet cable but I can't get it working, it doesnt find a signal! Would it be better to use an ethernet cable? If so, how to I get it to work? ( I have an Ausu mobo, with a Marvell Yukon 88E8053 PCI-E Gigabit controller)
Any help you could provide would great. heres a speed test pic I just took.
Thanks
Kevin
