How fast is your internet going?

Question

Mine is really slow dial up. It's 16.8 Kbps. That's very slow. I'm excited to get my internet fixed and to get DSL in December. What can I do until then to speed up my internet? Also answer "how fast is your internet going?" by putting your cursor over those two computers by your time.

Answer 2

First off, I would like to indicate that there is a difference between the speed of your internet connection and the speed that is told by "those two computers by your time." The latter is the speed that your computer is communicating with either your router, your modem, your other computers, or all of the above (and is known as the network speed). Your internet speed is the speed at which your modem talks to the ISP (Internet Service Provider). Both speeds are told in Megabits/sec (mbps); and the network speed is usually constant, unless you have a wireless connection.

There, you can have your internet speed instantly tested with accuracy. Look on the multi-colored part on the right hand side of the black line for YOUR internet speed.

I have DSL, but only the second fastest speed they have to offer, 1.5mbps

Hope I cleared things up!

You can't physically speed up your internet, but you can speed up web surfing by getting an "accelerator" program (it downloads all the stuff onto your computer and next time you visit the website it will load up as much as it can off your hard drive rather than the internet); my internet goes at a blazin' 52.08 Kbps

Answer 4
