Talking The Ol' Bandwidth Speed Test

I know I've shown this before but the computer board is kind of slow lately and maybe your speed has increased or decreased since our last testing! Only one way to find out, click here .

I had the same problem with mine. It was 2 mbits then all of a sudden it wasn't getting past 1 mbit on the speed tests. I just phoned my cable provider two days ago and found out that my sister had messed around with our kazaa upload settings and we had wasted 10 gigs of bandwidth. They had lowered the speed of our modem. That might be a reason cuz usually cable companies try to stay competitive by upgrading their lines so you get the speed that you're paying for.
