    You did not say from where you are testing uploads and downloads.

    Try www.speedtest.net to confirm the numbers you posted. If the same, you have a very slow DSL link. Sometimes there are issues with the lines, and the tech support can reset or reconfigure your line if you let them know your speed is low compared to what you have purchased..

    rather plenty, the telephone companies degree the cost they furnish you with in Megabits consistent with 2d. in view that somewhat is a million/8 of a Byte, we ought to accomplish a little math to ascertain what your acquire velocity quite is (your internet browser measures your acquire velocity in bytes, no longer bits). Take the form you notice as your acquire velocity, 1024, and divide that with the aid of 8. in view which you get 128, meaning the max velocity you ought to acquire is 128 kilobytes consistent with 2d. the only thank you to enhance your velocity with the aid of DSL is to order swifter servide out of your ISP. Cable internet is the only one which would be tampered with to realize godlike speeds, and that's rather confusing to do. additionally the 10GB shrink has to do with your ISP, so from what it sounds like they furnish you with a 10Gigabyte bandwidth shrink. the two pay for extra appropriate provider, or you would be caught with an identical speeds you have now.

    No way. That's pretty slow. You should look at getting up to10Mbps. The only thing you can do to speed it up is tell your ISP you want a faster connection, which they will of course charge you extra.

    Check the speed at different times of the day to make sure you did not just hit a peak use time on your hub. If it is still that slow contact your ISP.
