Answer 1

You can try re-starting your router. Pull the plug, wait about 10 seconds and plug it back in. Mine slows down occasionally and that's what my internet provider advised. It usually works for me

Answer 2

The time you make the test what time what was that? If was late night probably in North America then you were right but in the morning and afternoon no way you can get that speed because most of the connections are diverted to the corporates and government offices. The best result and speed is the night. Sometime can happen if you computer has got more connection on the programs that works behind your knowledge. You can see that go to the task manager and then processors. Good luck

Answer 3

Well the first thign we need to know, is what type of internet connection you have through your ISP? The speeds you're getting are indicative of a typical 3M/728K DSL line.

Answer 4

Never really thought about that
