CrazyIvan 0 #2 February 10, 2005 Try this link One thing about DSL.....IT SUCKS. I recommend CABLE. Call your provider, maybe there's something wrong.__________________________________________ Blue Skies and May the Force be with you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nightingale 0 #4 February 10, 2005 Cable sucked for me. It was wonderful when I had cable at my old apartment, but here, Adelphia puts way too many people on one cable drop, so it CRAWLS. Went to DSL and it was much, much better. Cable is great if you have a responsible cable company. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meridianjumper 0 #5 February 10, 2005 The part that could be slowing you down is the distance between you and the main connection. Are you far from your main telephone HUB? Do you have any kind of spyware, adware or virus that might be hogging up your bandwidth? Something to think about. You can scan with Spybot or Ad-Aware Blue Skies, Jeremy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 0 #6 February 10, 2005 also are you on a wireless connection? I run a lot slower on wireless than if plugged into the router via cat-5.Fly it like you stole it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
