My download speeds are running like arctic treacle. Just in the last
fortnight
or so. Can't think of anything I might have done to cause it. Every
once in a
while I get this paranoid feeling that some virus has snuck in, or my
ISP is
squeezing the bandwidth.
I'm on ISDN dial-up, so speeds were seldom better than 90KB/s. But 1/
KB/s!
C'mon! The two recent speed tests indicated a rip-roaring 11KB/s.
I've repaired permissions, unloaded caches, run even re-installed
MacOS 10.4.7
Combo. No good. Talking and troubleshooting with Westnet Support was of
little help. I was told that 11KB/s wasn't so bad at all. I could
hardly believe
what I was hearing. Tests with Westnet were variable, but generally 7
or 8KB/s.
Does anyone have suggestions on what I might try other than trying
another
computer (Westnet's suggestion)?
