Why is the internet connection speed faster on stolen unsecured network than my own paid broadband service?

Question

Stolen meaning I connected to my neighbour's unsecured network, and ended up with 5 times higher speed than if I connect to my own secure network with a password...

I didn't mean to steal any bandwidth, but mine just got stuck so many times and it automatically connects to the second best..

How come even the stolen internet is faster than my own? i paid for it!

Answer 1

may be because your neighbor speed is higher than yours. what you can do is call your ISP and tell them tha you want to upgrade your speed. if you are using this internet for home use 3.0 mbps is fast enough for home users. upgrading your speed charges will apply in your bill, so make sure you confirm everything before you upgrade your speed. hope this help.

Answer 2

i'm with talktalk and each month you get 40 gigabytes of bandwidth. even if you don't use it all, you still only get 40gb when it's reset each month to zero... So find out what your getting a month and if they are slowing you down find out how long for. They should only be slowing you down for that month. My talktalk is £21 a month and for another £5 I can get it up to 80gb a month..... so mention this to your provider and even ask for a printed letter of your usage if they get lippy... you should have a right too know how much you've gone over by. Talktalk would send you a letter to say you went over and you have the option to stop or be cut off till next month your big problem is the sites your watching, as those videos are huge in size. A bbc 30 min program is around 300mb and youtube vids can be huge also. So check the video quality and running time of each video, as the better the quality the larger the file will be. oh yes the Gadget show on tv had a wee program that monitors your usage plus when they say unlimited, their talking b####ks..
