Hello
I have charter internet with 8 mbps download w/ 1 mbps upload (sometime, ping test show I have 12 mbps download speed), but what I am wondering is how come when I download
stuff to my computer, the maximum speed I can get is 1.5 mbps download. Its good... but not the greatest. Here is the spec for my computer:
MB: Asus P7P55D-E
CPU: INtel i7 820
Drive: 1. OCZ Vertex SSD (OS)
2. Western Digital Black 1tb HDD (Programs/everything else)
Mem: 4 GB
I am thinking about getting the bigfoot network card from visiontek to see if I can really see an improvement on networking speed. If I am paying for 8 mbps, shouldn't i be
able to download at least 4-5 mbps. My network is serving 4 things right now.
1. Main computer (hardwire cat5)
2. laptop (wireles)
3. ipod touch (rarely on)
4. ps3 (never on)
Network info:
Router: Linksys wireless n 300 (WRT160-N)
Modem: Motorola standard modem (SB5101)
