hey just me again, my speeds vary alot! from a bt download test, where you can d/l three files labelled small medium and large, they large file was 15mb and on that test the top speed i saw was 650 kbps which is about what i am after. But d/l from www.downloads.com (freeware) i get from 7.5kbps to 75 kbps and site downloads have vaired speeds think roughly my average is about 200kbps which is only 1.6meg which is not what im paying/expecting.
This is gonna sound dumb but here it goes.... what sort of question should i be asking the BT engineer because usually they try to pass the buck onto either the line/technical jargon or they try to say that the line is new (1month old now) and say that the line is just stablising itself which to be fair well past that stage
my mate lives closer to the exchange point then me and she can d/l a film in about 4 hours, which is what im after!!! before i upgraded to max 8mb i was reading up about my area line quality and d/l speeds and bt said the the average was 5.5, i thought GR8!!! how mislead was i? so i asked about this 5.5mb d/l i they tried to fob me off with its is the best and worst added together and divided by the number of connection but if this was the case even the lostest can really be that bad as 5.5 aver is high considering that the most you can get is 8!!! you think i may have been conned????
On bitcomet itself most the downloads are going slower then the uploads, why is this???
could it be the fact that the ppl i am d/lin off have slow connections? what are you running on? what sort d/l speeds do you get? could it be down to my wireless network as the router and line is downstairs and the laptop and 1 of the computer is upstairs? or could it be because that im using a usb adaptor instead of a cards.....so many things it could be!!!!
btw thanks again for your patients and persistance :P
