Hi
I was wondering if anyone has any ideas as to why this might happen, I often get upload speeds higher than my download speed. I have a 384k ADSL connection but I only seem to get about 19.2KB download. A typical result from a speed test is something like this:
Your download speed : 155 kbps or 19.4 KB/sec.
Your upload speed : 245 kbps or 30.6 KB/sec.
Sometimes to circumvent the problem I would switch my modem off and switch it on again a few minutes later and I would be back to a 50KB speed. But this doesn't seem to work since Friday.
I used to be on a 192k connection and then upgraded to 384. Telkom says that everything has gone through on their side! It's a complete mystery to me how they assign various speeds to connections and IP addresses - I cannot even begin to fathom where the problem might lie.
thanks

It's supposed to be the *other* way round
