you can do ping tests and give them the results...\nstart, run, type "command" on black screen type "ping www.whatever.whatever" <-- not a real url and don't use the " " marks\ndifferent pages will give you different results, in theory the further away it is the longer it will take to ping back.\n\nbut just a note, don't be too hard on the tech support people, they can't really do much to help you with this, and get yelled at all day by people upset that they aren't actually pulling pages as fast as their connection or modem claims to be.  its very frustrating for us...ah, them, sorry about that, not one anymore, but it dies hard.

Are you sure the speed test didn't say 8 KBps (bytes instead of bits)? You should do these tests while nothing else is using your connection. Your connection should almost always be a little slower, but not that much. Try the speed test below, it should be closer to what your pc says--if you use it correctly.

Get broadband, period.\n\nBy the way, pay attention to units: 56kbps = 56 kiloBITS per second = 7 kiloBYTES per second (7 kBps), theoretical maximum speed of dial-up.

if BBand means broadband then there's part of your answer.  It's not a guaranteed speed more of a variable speed because you're sharing an overall line in your neighborhood.  Then there's the issue with your actual connection, maybe far away from the central box or just faulty wiring and/or issues with your system.  Then you have the issue with the actual speed test software itself, they can never be "accurate" and if you're supposed to get 256k and the test is showing 220, it's about fair.  The contract you have with your service provider should state that they don't guarantee the speed and is usually "up to" that speed.
