You need to give us more details particularly of your isp's promised speed and your actual connection speed. Also it will help if you understand the difference between kilobits (Kb) and kilobytes (KB) which is a pita and took me months to work out
look at my first post in this thread
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=49311 to explain the kb KB matter
You can do speed tests at many sites, this is one
http://www.dslreports.com/stest a number of tests from different sites and at different times of dat should give you a better picture.
Whilst pro promises Turbo charged speeds, these are not necessarily higher,... it depends on your own connection speed as well as the speed of the hosts you connect to. You will however get better search results with pro imho.
I have a 500 Kb/s connection and whilst I can get 50KB/s speeds, 10-14 is more like an average for me.
