General discussion related to Cable Modems, DSL, Wireless, Fiber, Mobile Networks, Wireless ISPs, Satellite, or any other type of high-speed Internet connection, general issues and questions here. Review and discuss ISPs as well (AT&T / SBC, BellSouth, Bright House, CableOne, Charter, Comcast, Covad, Cox, Cablevision / Optimum Online, TMobile, Verizon FIOS, Shaw, Telus, Starlink, etc.)
Well, I just recently got Sprint/Earthlink DSL, and I ordered the 1.5mbps package.
When I download I have NEVER seen over 100k/sec, and when I download 2 files they split up to around 50k/sec each.
I should be getting over this right?
What can I do to fix this?
Also, when I use IRC, I cannot send anybody ANYTHING!
It just doesn't send, I can send fine thru FTPs and stuff, but not on IRC. Oh yah, and on AIM I can't direct connect.
All this worked fine when I had my cable modem awhile back.
