iSat?

[Flashgear]

Hi all, I'm currently with iSat on a 4mb line(I just got it about an hour or 2 ago) and while sites load fast, actual downloading of files is slow. It's like running between 1kbps-40kbps. I've got a 5gig cap with OpenWeb too.

I've done a speed test on some sites, they say sometimes my Line is running around 200kbps-3.5mb and it's constantly dropping down to those speeds.

Any help?

your line is shaped

But surely a 4mb line shouldn't be that slow..1-20kbps download?

Shaped means that you will only get those speeds on surfing and email

I had exactly the same problem. Check out this thread: http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?t=115167

Summary: you need to use a download manager. I use: http://www.internetdownloadmanager.com/

Multi-threaded downloads are much faster...
