Iam on AOL silver which has a max speed of 1 meg, which i recenty got after been on 512k for 2 years.

Had 1 meg for the last 6 weeks, now the speed ha drop to below 512. Called aol who are no help at all. Seem like it not just me as my brother who as 8meg line can only manage 500 averge down speed.

Has anyone else seen their broadband speed drop in the last 2 days. :mad: :mad:
 
no, not download anything for awhile and the pc hadn't been used for a few days, i only turned it on Monday and notice slow connection to web pages.

my netgear is still reading connection at 989k but when using speedtest.net downspeed was on 453k.
 
It just getting worst by the minute, router saying connrction at 1120k speedtest.net down speed is 242k with up speed at 379k.

Any ideas why downspeed is slower than upspeed?
 
1 meg connecton, what a joke. If it keep getting slower iam going back to dial up.

fothsn: do you think my up speed is correct with my current downspeed?

Well, after 3 days of phone calls to AOL, i don't like to know how much my phone bill will be I manage to speak to someone who did have some knowledge.

After all the usual check about my pc been the problem, and endless speed test, they found that there was a fault with the line which is effecting my down speed. Which i have been trying to tell them for the last three days.

Iam a little happier now but still **** at the poor service and all the boring songs when on hold.
