Internet problem

Aleksander · Apr 15, 2012, 06:30 PM

Hi!
I am having a weird problem lately regarding internet.
I get a download speed 10Mbps when i test the speed on speedtest.net, but mine is 3Mbps!
Unfortunately, i can download only 30kbps...
Any virus here?

Frick · Apr 15, 2012, 06:33 PM

What do you mean exactly? Do you pay for 3 Mbps, get 10Mbps when testing (through like Speedtest I assume) but only download with 30Kbps?

If that is what it's like, how is normal browsing? Are the 30Kbps limit everywhere or just certain servers?

Aleksander · Apr 15, 2012, 06:33 PM

The limit is 30kbs everywhere even browsing

Frick · Apr 15, 2012, 06:34 PM

But not when testing the connection with speedtest?

Aleksander · Apr 15, 2012, 06:38 PM

yes. With speedtest it shows 10Mbps

Edit: rerun the test on speedtest.net and it showed 60kbps
I pay for 3Mbps and have downloaded with that speed for months since today!

Re-edit:rerun again the speedtest.net got 9.8Mbps?!!!

Try here http://www.bandwidthplace.com/ and http://www.ip-adress.com/speedtest/ and http://www.zdnet.co.uk/broadband-speedtest/

(just as a confirmation).

Did you by any chance have a monthly download allowance. Or is the connection also providing TV services?

Aleksander · Apr 15, 2012, 06:55 PM

No. I dont have any limit or TV.
On the first site it shows 0.3Mbps
2nd 0.42Mbps

do a complete scan of your pc with an anti virus, it would help.
I recommend you trying free edition of malwarebytes.

Aleksander · Apr 15, 2012, 07:21 PM

Very weird. Now everything works perfect.
I think the only possible thing is someone is using my internet O.o
And looks like he turned off the internet connection... :P

More than likely it was as issue in the ISP side of things. Also if it is a home ADSL connection you may be suffering from Exchange congestion.

do you have a wireless router? if so put a password on it... also check for torrent apps running.
