What the difference, I get that now, it is Tedas I have the problem with, no electric no internet.
-
Theoretically for 49TL you are getting 256 kbps but in practice you are probably only getting about half of that.
If the theoretiacal level is increased to 1 Megabyte you may possibly get half of that which should give a faster download speed than you get now. Tedas and TT willing!!
All will be revealed in the fullness of Turkish Time.:D

My test result was 853 kbps today .
-
after my ADSL being all over the place for the last 2 months, today I have beat Cenk...lol
869 kbps :D 8)

Mine hasn't changed at all

On the odd occasions that we've managed to get a connection today, I'll admit it does seem to be faster.

I took the suggested server - but no change for me. Having said that I don't really have much complaint about the speed - presumably I just wait for it to happen?

maybe because your server is over 200 miles away.

Do you have "GO Faster Stripes" down the sides of your computer.....Best I can obtain is 255 for download. This is faster than it was but not much to get excited about! :)
-
Teresa, mine is not bad.

Well yours sure beat mine on dial up. I somehow don't think the upload one is correct for me?

Now if only I can figure out how to stop the firewall blocking me downloading the virus software & getting my email connection correct I'll be happy.
Sometimes I wish I was a geek. Anyone got a dummys guide website to doing the above?

You could turn off the firewall for the duration of the download.

What firewall? Firewalls shouldn't block any downloads, unless you've told it too. Check your allow/disallow settings.
