why does my pc say i am connected at 115 kbp but speed tests say only 8 kbp?

Are you sure the speed test didn't say 8 KBps (bytes instead of bits)? You should do these tests while nothing else is using your connection. Your connection should almost always be a little slower, but not that much. Try the speed test below, it should be closer to what your pc says--if you use it correctly.

i think its 2Gbps.not sure

check the link light on the card.\nmake sure that wire is stable and is not cutted from anywhere.\nmake sure that your lan card setting i.e duplex mode and connection speed is configured properly.

make sure there is no new interference, like stereo equipment, subwoofers, celphones, make sure your router and modem aren't near anything that can cause interference, go to pcpitstop.com and check your internet speed, see if it really slower and check and make sure the neighbors are not borrowing your bandwidth

you have a slow connection or some other problem that is causing a bottleneck

Modem 56kbps = 5.6 kbps download rate\nDsl  128kbps =12.8 kbps download rate\nDsl  256kbps =25.6 kbps download rate\nDsl  512kbps =51.2 kbps download rate\ndsl 1024kbps =102.4kbps download rate\n\nTheres no possible way to overdrive these info\nif the object youre trying to download is slower than any rate there the web nature, many different causes, huge traffic something else your downloading,m streamng audio or a video

You cannot make the network operate at the old fashioned slower speed.   The modem speed and connection speed cannot be down shifted.\n\nWith some moderate computing coding effort, you could simulate the slower speed by writing a program that, within the PC, delays response time OR transmits characters (bytes) of information at a simulated slower rate.\n\nToday's connection speeds are fast but still very far from the fastest transmission speeds.   If you want to learn about how fast things can be transmitted, google the phrase "femto second".   The wires that are used in broadband have no inherent speed.   It is the box that you connect at the two ends of the connection that determine the transmission and receiving speeds.

Well if you are sure you have a good connection then what about your upload speed. Sometimes just because you have a cable connection does not mean you have a good upload speed. Go here and check your connection http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest\n\nAnd it could also be the server you are uploading to. Sometimes servers don't allow over a certain amount of bandwidth used.

http://www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/\n\nThe only true way to know if your connection is slow is to run a free bandwidth test. Click on the link (above/below) to run this test. Answer two simple questions (connection type and location) and hit test.\n\nIf your connection is considerably slower than what your ISP states it should be, then you need to call their tech support people and open a service ticket with them. \n\nHope this helps.\n\nPS - I have Comcast Hi-Speed Internet (cable) and these are the results from my test.\n\nCommunications 1.5 megabits per second\nStorage 184.9 kilobytes per second\n1MB file download 5.5 seconds\nSubjective rating Great

not the problem of your modem \nits the problem with your pc\nu shud hav a RAM over 256MB

1. is your connection faster when your brother's computer is off? if so, then it is simply that his computer is using more of the total bandwidth, probably it is closer to the socket or router.\n\n2. if your computer is still slow with his computer off, then it may be your hardware or software.

As others have said, the speed depends on factors other than purely on your own broadband which you signed up for. However,\ninorder to take these variables out of the equation go to\nhttp://www.kbps.co.uk/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=41\nChoose autorun test ..let it do the default number of tests & wait for the summary results & the comparison with an up to 8mb broadband to appear.\nThis is the most accurate & more importantly, most informative speed test site I have come across.

Probably for the typical user. Now, for geeks like me that would be awesomely fast. Mine peaks at 1MB/sec, but it's usually about 500kb/sec

GPRS usually indicates a speed of 56kbs

could be your card driver, your cable, the other end of your cable, the network and tcp/ip settings, you got some testing and tweaking to do

higher ADSL speed, or \n\ncheck this out: http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php\n\nuse the optimal settings provided there, then restart your pc, i'll bet you'll notice a li'l bit of download speed.\n\ngood luck!
