A typical web page can run from 50K and up..However, speaking from real world experience it doesn't take more than a few seconds with a 2MB connection..\nHere's a link that will allow you to test your current connection and even choose different download stream sizes.\nhttp://www.networktel.net/NTCportal/Visitor/Support/Visitor_Support_SpeedTest/\n\nGreg

Modem is snail-speed (28kbps), DSL much much faster (up to 1GB transfer), T1/T3 the fastest of the lot (this is where you want to go.  Good luck.\n\nTake an example:\n\nyou want to download an mp3 song that is 4MB in size.  If you download from someone:\n\nwith a modem = > 1 hours\nwith DSL (broadband) = 2 - 3 minutes\nwith T1/T3 (eathernet) = less than a 1 minute !!\n\nSpeed will also depend on how YOU connected.  if you have a modem and download from DSL or T1/T3 it will still be slow obviously. But if you have broadband and choose to download from a broadband user it will be fast!!

Check for spyware/malware\n\nCall your ISP to see if they are having problems.\n\nUnplug modem/router and turn off computer, then plug everything back in.  Also check to make sure your network card is  correctly installed.=  Windows XP = r/click "my computer"/click the "hardware" tab/click "device manager"/\nexpand "network adapters" and see if there is anything listed, and if it is listed, see if it has an "X" or exclamation mark? \n\n\nClear/clean your cache and go to your local settings folder and empty your "temp" folder.\n\nhttp://www.dslreports.com/tools\n\nhttp://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2104\n\n\nhttp://cable-dsl.home.att.net\n\nhttp://www.auditmypc.com/internet-speed-test.asp\n\n\n\n  http://www.broadbandnuts.com/software.shtml

The difference you report in DSL download speeds is due to the oversubscription of your Internet Service Provider (ISP) from the DSLAM to the Internet.\n\nTry to use the Speedtests below and select a test site within your own country.\n\nBe sure to run the Speed Tweak Test to optimize your computer first -- it made my computer download x4 faster.\n\nThe DSL modem will report the access speed (perhaps at the 512 kbps you purchased), the Speedtest will show the Internet download speed from different countries.\n\nAsk your ISP for a service with a different oversubscription rate -- and what is the additional fee?

network connections > right click connection > properties > configure > advanced > speed settings (possibly named differently) > pick one\n\nnote that auto detection is the best way to go, because forcing a duplex mode can cause worse performance

what OS are you using? if you are using windows XP you can access this information by going to Start->Control Panel->Network Connections and you will see the connection you have for your dial up. Double click on the connection and you should be able to see the connection speed, the ip address and your routable DNS server.\n\nTo have this show when you are connected right click on the connection goto properties and check show icon in notification area when iam connected.

I've used the online bandwidth speed checkers.  I cannot vouch for their reliability, but it does seem to work.  Check out these  source links or google "bandwidth tests"

check your internet download and upload speeds here\n\nDownload Speed\nhttp://www.pcpitstop.com/internet/Bandwidth.asp\n(Ex.  Mine is 5081Kb/sec)\n\nUpload Speed\nhttp://www.pcpitstop.com/internet/BandwidthUp.asp\n(Ex. Mine is 1295Kb/sec)\n\npost the results.  Contact your ISP and ask them if they are having problems and see if they can tell you what your DL and UL speeds SHOULD be.\n\nAlso, in response to funQT's post below, deleting your cookies is fine - but your temporary internet files, while they can and should be deleted every so often, actually speeds up your system.  Certain content on websites is downloaded directly to your PC for faster access when you revisit the page.  Instead of loading everything again from the internet, it loads directly from your hard drive - thus increasing the speed in which the page loads.  For pages that are uploaded frequently, you will want to delete this to get the latest version of the page, not the old version that was cached.\n\nCheck for spyware, as well.\n\nFirst of all, in response to notrix, not everybody has the "two computer" icons when connected to the internet through broadband.  I know I don't.  \n\nIf you click the links I posted above the websites will test your download and upload speeds.  You may want to try it a few times and get an average.  24Mb/sec is probably the internal transfer rate of your network card, not your actual external net speed.  If you are using newer DSL service (they've recently upgraded their speeds), you can expect to get anywhere from 256Kb/sec to 3Mb/sec download and 128Kb/sec to 1Mb/sec upload on average (just a ballpark, I didn't actually research the speeds) - this is also dependant on what type of service you have with the provider.  Usually they offer multiple options where you can pay more to get faster connections.  However, with DSL - the farther you are from the host, the slower your connection.  Whereas with cable, the distance is not a factor, but the number of people online that are in your specific node will affect speeds.

I searched for "free bandwidth test" on Yahoo! and this was the very first result:\n\nhttp://www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/

If you are, you've been duped.  DSL should be much faster than dial up...and if it isn't...find a new service provider.
