anything I can do?

[RTFMy]

I used to have Cable from Comcast and when I would download something in my browser (porn, demos, etc.) I averaged 400k per second.. and I remember going to DSLreports many times when I had cable and only had something like 800 down/ 200 up

Now I have DSL and i'm lucky to even get 150k per second downloads in my browser.. and DSL reports is saying I have 1mb down/ 700 up

So whats going on here?

nothing you can do buddy, you just ****ed yourself by making a bad move. Why did you switch from Cable to DSL!? I mean 400 DL rate is like,"DAMN THAT'S SO FAST I CAN'T SWITCH!"

700 up is good though, I got like 300 up or something 500, I dunno and don't feel like checking! Who is youe service provider? I've got Earthlink DSL and download something like 330-340 Kbps.

Spyware could be getting you bad.

Get Spybot Search and Destroy and/or Ad-Aware

It's not spyware, i'm always on top of things like that.

I had to switch cause I moved.. if I could afford Cable right now, i'd no doubt switch to it in under a second.

:hmph: Sadly, you're going to just have to cope with it man, that sucks 400K to a measly 150K. Hope you could find like a better service.

My Comcast cable rules. Whenever I download I get around 400kbps.

Bandwidth is reported in bits.
Mbps or Kbps

Speed is reported in Bytes
MBps or KBps

Notice the lowercase vs uppercase on the B.

1 MBps is 1024 KBps
There are 8 bits in one Byte so
1024 / 8 = 128Kb/s

When you had cable it was probably a 3MBps line.
~400Kbps * 8 = 3200KBps
3200KBps = 3.2MBps

However you look at it, 3MB to 1MB or 400Kb to 128kb, it's 1/3 the speed.
