help to boost internet speed.
 

so i did the macafee test your internet speed thing online yesterday. mine is at 60.

do you know if comcast has internet upgrades to make speed faster. someone told me the network that i'm connected to may have too many users in the area that clog it up.

also could be a wireless router issue. i got the netgear rangemax wireless- N and some people said that router was junk.

any advice?

Did you clear cache and cookies? Should be done regularly, as that affects spee as well.

well i wouldn't trust macaffe with too much of anything ..
try this site to test your speed , it might be different ..http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/

also you want to defrag your hard drive so that file retrieval is easier (ie Faster)

My immediate thought is your wireless connection. Whenever you're connected to wireless, your transfer speed will be less than a wired connection - even when signal strength is 100%. Loss is not linear either, so 80% signal strength does not mean you're at 80% your connection speed - you'll be quite a bit below.

Tell your neighbors to stop streaming porn over your wireless connection.

Haha... I thought about going there. That's my go to suspicion about my roommate when my speeds are down at night.

you did not mention if you were running windows xp or vista

if xp open up the dos window (in accessories) and type in

Netstat -a (when its slow to see what your connected too)
