Re: Connection speed

Hi

What ever your LAN speed is. It is Not so important since you Internet
connection is only 1Mb/sec.

1Mb/sec. should yield 100KB/sec download (so you are not terribly Off).

May be this can Help, http://www.ezlan.net/Internet_Speed.html

Hi
Read slowly the two pages that I linked to in my pervious post.
There is a description there of how to optimize your connection and measure
the speed by downloading a 10MB file.
If the actual Download "Speed" is 60 to 100KB/sec. your are within the
expected range. Otherwise you have to take it with your ISP.
