    Question on my internet

    Ok, I use Verizon DSL. I think I run slower than I should be. My friend has exact same internet. But his is like 300 KB faster downloadwise. My computers max is like 200 and he hits 500 easy. I am so mad. Why is it so slow? Is it verizons fault or just the setup on the downstairs computer? I am so confused.

    I had no idea there were different kinds of internets out there.

    Factors can be write speed, location from box, blockages, and just overall TCP/IP settings.

    You can't download more than you can write onto your harddrive. He might be closer to the box than you, spyware / antivirus can affect speed, and he might have a better pipelining setting on his TCP/IP system file.

    Go to DSLReports.com and run speed and tweak tests. That should help you out.

      Are you SURE he has the same package as you?



      If not that, then I have no clue.

            Duh. Maybe you need to find the right internet. There are lots of bad internets out there these days.
