well my stepdad pays for it so i dont really know i think its just aol wireless but we dont use wireless. it was fine the other day i remember testing the speed and it was over 3 mbps

haaa ok, I would just see how it is tommorow it could be that there are engineers working on the exchange ect. I would monitor it for a few days see if it improves and goes back upto 3mb (i still think theres something wrong if your in a 6mb area and not getting that speed).

yeah hopefully things will get better soon, i just realised though that it must have been faster last night when i downloaded avast. thanks for the help. i might take out that bell wire tommorow aswell

I'm wondering if it's because Norton is updating the antivirus software in the background and since it's newly installed there will be tonnes to update and is thus taking forever to download the other program.

Unfortunetly that's what you get with AOL, but it shouldn't be that bad.

no better today :mad: i uninstalled norton first thing, i think at least. i went to control panel and then uninstal programs.

fixed it!! was a problem with a port being closed. On BitTorrent since ive forwarded the port i'm getting an average of 120kb/s download sometimes getting up to 200kb/s. Is that fast or can i still get it faster?
