[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1431567, member: 24098"] Pretty sure that's your issue. The effective transfer speed is not a function of your ISP alone. It's also a function of the server you're connecting to and the latency of the connection (i.e. I may have a 10 lane highway, but I'm going to get back and forth to Philadelphia a heck of a lot faster than to Los Angeles). Also, you probably don't know how much bandwidth that server has, nor do you know how many clients it's serving (further dividing the bandwidth). If Speedtest.net is right on the money, then I doubt you have a problem of quality of service with your ISP. [/QUOTE]
