Could not reach 2MBPS Internet Speed

Asked By ScottKhan 0 points N/A Posted on - 08/31/2011

I have been battling out with our local Internet SP here, they are telling me that my max speed I am getting for my plan is 2MBPS, but I am not satisfied, my browsing speed is very slow, I know its non PC related since its brand new and clean from Spyware.

What is the best test that I can show to them that I am getting this amount of upload or download speed? They always tell me that the speed in my area is great.

Hi,

 

If you can help us by telling us what is your Internet connection setup? Are you using DSL? Cable? Or WiFi from the PC you are using.

 

There could be a lot of factors affecting your Internet speed, let's just say there is no problem with the computers you are using. Is the cabling new? Is the crimping on the RJ45/Ethernet cable properly done? No damage on your cables? Ethernet ports should be rust free.

 

Cables should be tightly fitted. For WiFi, there should be no interference or blockage from the modem. There is a maximum coverage for WiFi conx. If all these are not an issue, check your Internet speed in some websites that checks bandwidth speed like www.speedtest.net. 

 

There is a test I made from a computer having a connection issue. Please see SS.
