newbie question re speed

Recommended Posts

I have 6 meg broadband. Bt tells me that due to the distance from the exchange, I will only get around 6 meg.

The highest speed I can attain on a download is 17 kB/s. maximumupload is set for 186 kB/s.

Whwn I performed the spped test the results were: upload- 41Kb/s. upload- 208kB/s.

Another daft question....is there a difference between kB/s and Kb/s?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to run these speed tests again after resetting both your computer AND modem+router, making sure no other internet-using program is in use. And also with every torrent in µTorrent paused or stopped -- as well as having DHT disabled.

I'm thinking something else is interfering with the tests, resulting in much lower speeds than what you're supposed to be getting.
