Just upgraded from 512k to 1500k, but did not realise any speed increase. Did a broadband speed test and it showed a very low speed connection. Is it a norm? Is there any way (configurations?) to speed up?

you may want to call your ISP anc check with them. that's the best.West_ray said:Just upgraded from 512k to 1500k, but did not realise any speed increase. Did a broadband speed test and it showed a very low speed connection. Is it a norm? Is there any way (configurations?) to speed up?

for tweaks.. my 512k registers 400kbps can't rem which site.. but you need to use local site to test..
I tried a malaysian one

using here mine is 312.8 hmmm
http://speedtest.raketforskning.com/speed-test-results.html
and a swedish site i got 448
so geographical location doesn't mean best and fastest..
here's from the FAQ
Why do I get very different results from different test servers?
Poor performance on one test server indicates the path from your machine to that test server is currently congested. Generally, the results from this test should be close, but less, than your rated (purchased) line speed. If you can get close to 70% of your rated line speed, everything is perfect!
apparently singnet helpdesk asked me to change username for normal BB login. duh ... i dun even know username affect the speed.hammer_400 said:wat did u do?

5637.59 kbits/sec for me. i did the 3MB testazul123 said:I think a more accurate test would be to go to this link provided by Singnet, for other ISP I dunno...

I was told to select 'Quick Test approx 1MB' and then click on FTP. I got a response of 2705.43 kbits/sec. That makes it around 2.96 secs for a 1MB download. Hmmm.. I'm paying for a 10Mbps BB and got this only, I wonder if others are getting similar results.
Please share what do you get with this test, would like to compare if we are all getting what we paid for, thanks in advance.
