Have you isolated it by trying another machine with speedtest.com to be certain it isn't your dsl? I had an issue with my DSL that turned out to be a known problem at Bell affecting multiple customers that had a 3-month schedule delay to fix. It was fixed about a month or two after the UBB crap hit the fan. I initially thought it was spurious DNS and ICMP traffic that was gobbling my upload bandwidth, but turned out to be further into Bell's network. I was getting 40 KB/s when I should have been getting 800 KB/s. At peak times and load, I was getting 23 second pings. > Techie goodies: > > $ uname -a > Linux Ix 2.6.35-28-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 18 18:42:20 UTC 2011 > x86_64 GNU/Linux > > > Shawn slainte mhath, RGB -- Richard Guy Briggs -- ~\ -- ~\ <hpv.tricolour.net> <www.TriColour.net> -- \___ o \@ @ Ride yer bike!
