Peerless,
I have a Cable modem. Of course my cable company says my speeds should be that of LAN (which is supposed to be fast, yes?). Certainly it should be comparable to DSL. I have NEVER seen 200 kb/s The most was 180-ish. The average is less than 10 kb/s. Sometimes it's slower with multiple hosts than with just one. Now, would that be because of downloading from someone who CLAIMS they have a fast connection?
Lately, they've all been less than 1kb/s... that is, when I can actually get something to start downloading.
I've also noticed that the majority of my search results have locations of:
192.168.x.x
10.0.x.x
0.0.x.x
I've read that these are bogus? Or just firewalled? Very few of them will actually result in a download.
I try disconnecting and reconnecting but still same results.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
