My internet is constantly at 15kb/s. How do i speed it up?


Recommended Posts

Your internet speed is completely dependant on a multitude of different factors:

  • How far you are from your phone exchange
  • The  physical quality of your phone line
  • the SNR ( signal to noise ratio ) and attenuation on your line.
  • The amount of incoming and outgoing connection on your pc ( the more crap / spyware / torrents / active p2p on your pc = the more badwidth is taken up
  • The quality of your router

 

Please remeber, even though these will more than likely apply to you, I am basing these on a U.K ADSL connection.

And as ManiacDan stated you should call your provider, but using the quoted speed complaint will get you nowhere, as most ISP's state the speed quoted is UPTO and not a given. Dependant on which country u are in there are tools that can tell you all you need to know about your local phone exchange
