I found such good help here on the subject of my DSL line speed I hope you don't mind if I come back with this semi OT follow up.
I currently don't know if there is, or ever was anything wrong with my DSL speed. I would be interested to hear if you think there is something wrong by these symptoms.
My ISP Earthlink's standard referral for a DSL speed test is 2wire.com. The average of 42 speed tests on my system is 1420 Kbps. I'm paying for
6000 Kbps. The AT&T tech rep tested my line and said it was good to up to his NID.My next door neighbor is on AT&T's 6000 Kbps plan. I performed the 2wire test on his system and he easily got 4750 Kbps, so I ran home and tested mine and got the usual 1390 Kbps. It seems clear that my neighborhood should be able to get around 5000 Kbps.
Ok.. that sounds like there's something wrong, right?
The trouble is, my neighbor introduced me to his speed test site
These are my speed tests on one day if it will help:
Does it seem to you like I've got something wrong? I need to know how hard I should work on this...
