Re: Slow Connection Speed



Your ethernet port connects (with the modem) at 100MB/s, but your modem
connect to Internet at a speed far less than that... 3MB/s or so; hence, in
Task Manager, the Network Speed (aproximate) value - 0.03% - is your cable
connection speed as a percentage of the ethernet connection speed
(3MB/100MB). I assume the 0.3% value in your email is... a typo :)
Check your internet connection speed at: http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/
