I have DSL and I experience pretty slow downloads and uploads. When downloading from any server, I am lucky if I reach 90 kb/sec. It's not just one server, it's everywhere I download from and 90 kb/sec is the absolute max I've seen. Upload is significantly less, with about 20-30 kb/sec. I've replaced my router and the issue is the same. I did a speed test on verizon.net:
596 kb/sec down
139 kb/sec up
Speedtest.net results:
732 kb/sec down
130 kb/sec up
Now I know I'm not gonna DL at that rate, but I'd still like more than what I'm getting, I don't know why my rate is significantly less than these test speeds. I am using a LinkSys Wireless-G router and my modem is a Westell Wirespeed(model: A90-210015-04).
I don't know if these are related, but while playing multiplayer games(mainly FPSs) I often receive lag spikes that last anywhere from 10-60 seconds. I can understand if someone is using my network and taking up bandwidth; however these spikes occur quite randomly and are often during times in which I am the only on my network. I don't notice any unnecessary processes running as I attempt to close them all out before I play. This happened with my old router as well as my new one. I don't use the wireless portion for my gaming PC; I play off of the cable. If anyone has any suggestions for either situation, I would appreciate any assistance. Thanks.
