[QUOTE="Ekim, post: 916385, member: 122956"] Well there are a few things that need to be factored in when we are determining loading times. What time of day are we talking about? Did you access the web on Wednesday say around 11pm as opposed to 6:30pm on Thursday? Traffic in your neighborhood has a great influence on your individual download / upload speeds. As stated before Comcast isn't the best most reliable ISP, so that could be one of the factors as well. You stated that you have multiple interfaces connecting to your wireless. The fewer wireless connections you have, the most dedicated signal your device(s) have. As a visual example, if you have a body of water flowing at 100mph in one direction you're doing great, but if you divide it into two paths you're down to 50mph, and four now down to 25mph. It's a crude example but the same basic principle applies with your wireless. The fewer connections the more dedication you have. Another way you could test to truly see how fast your upload / download speeds are, are through speed tests. They are many readily available internet speed tests, my favorite is speedtest.net Best of luck! [/QUOTE]
