Kev aint on MSN so i'll ask here ...
Friend of mine recently got upgraded to 10mb but is only getting around 3-5mb on average ... done a million speed tests on a million tests ... currently using ethernet connection into his onoard nic ... however when i take my laptop around, stick the connection into my nic port, i can get around 9.2mb on tests and download from giganews around 1.17mb/sec
he's tried a new NIC to rule out the mobo nic being faulty, still same, tried USB but gets even worse speeds, and the pc is clean of all viruses and spyware and has even rebuilt windows twice to rule out being something on the pc
i checked the downstram at 192.168.100.1 and that read the the correct 10mb settings
usually i can fix most things, but this has got me stumped
any ideas anyone?
cheers:erm:
