    Hey guys, I have a 16mbit internet access. We have around 4 pcs connected to it and only my dell is slow.

    when others get 2-3 mbit download i only get 130kbit download.

    i tried to swap the lan cables but i still dont get more.

    Can anyone help me? I tried installing latest drivers etc...

    my upload is a lot faster, 1.8mbit on speedtest.net, download 0.8 mbit only.

    on all other computers in the network via lan cable i get 1.8mbit upload and 20.1mbit download.

    how can that be?

    My guess would be probably they took up all the bandwidth, maybe ask them to stop using for a moment and see if u can have that speed
