Title: Increasing Internet Speed?
Post by: G_G on November 12, 2009, 01:38:35 am
My internet has been going very slow lately. Here's proof.

It used to be between 8-12mbps. Anyway to increase this?

Maybe your provider is just being slow or there's a network overuse. It'll probably go back to normal.

I can attest for what Blizz says. It will stop being slow after a little so just wait it out.

G_G, internet speed fluctuates like that sometimes. It's either one of your programs with automatic updates (less likely for that kind of slowdown), or your ISP might be the cause. There's nothing to do but wait it out. You could try calling your ISP, I do that every time I have a problem and they normally fix it or inform me if there's any problem (actually, they message me beforehand before they do maintenance).

btw, you guys think your speeds are slow? Check this:

And I'm downloading NAMK's game (around 51MB) right now, which would take about an hour to download.

Aqua's is the second slowest connection. Congrats for runner up Aqua *claps*

Yeah...
I don't see why you other people are complaining about "sucky" speeds

I, on the other hand, am not complaining about my low speed and am quite content with it. I guess I just have lots to do instead of sit idly by and wait for a file to finish downloading?

But come on guys, let's celebrate being the bottom three. Best group ever: Me, Aqua, and Fantasist. *-*

I would brag about my speed, but my older brother went to Harvey Mudd, and their internet was ridiculous - close to 1 GB/s

Post by: Blizzard on November 14, 2009, 03:29:11 am
You guys do realize that complaining about having a slow connection even though putting put to several Mb/s is a sign of Internet addiction? :O

That's exactly how I get along just fine! :D But I do miss good speeds sometimes. Back in my glory days (that's what I call the time I had a BSNL connection), I downloaded like crazy. I saw Ghost Rider on streaming for God's sake! Now I have to wait for a 4 minute Youtube clip to load >.<
