Hi,

I have this problem for months but I decided NOT to deal with it as a high priority and sometimes to ignore it. Now, I can't ignore it anymore. I'd like to understand and know what is going on??!!

  * My Internet Connection is 8Mbps
  * I'm using this machine: P4 with 512MB RAM and USB Network Adapter
    (N) and Lubuntu 13.10 (latest update) is installed
  * I have N Router
  * *-network
           description: Wireless interface
           physical id: 1

           bus info: usb@1:1
           logical name: wlan0
           serial: 00:1f:1f:a8:e5:21
           capabilities: ethernet physical wireless
           configuration: broadcast=yes *driver=rt2800usb*
    driverversion=3.10.0-6-generic firmware=0.29 ip=10.0.0.50 link=yes
    multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11bgn
  * http://www.speedtest.net/ is showing that I have more than 8Mbps
    (9.31Mbps) for download and 1.06Mbps for upload
  * NO matter what website I use, even when I use LXTerminal to update
    my system, my machine/system is refusing to use more than 1Mbps
    (125KB/Sec) of Connection Speed while I have total of 8Mbps
  * Needless to say, everything is FINE with other machines. I'm using
    two machines right now, the one with the problem explained above
    and the other one is Core i5 first generation with 4GB RAM
    connected to the very same router which the P4 machine is
    connected to.

What is going on?

Thank you!

Could it be that this is working properly and you're simply looking at different reporting standards -- megabits/second vs. megabytes/second? That would be the easiest explanation for an 8x difference.
