Le_Jars Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Hello all. I recently upgraded my ADSL line to 2048k from 512 with Wanadoo online. After a few days without it working at all, it now does work, but doesn't really seem any quicker. Is there a way I can see at what rate my connection is running? apart from guessing that something is taking less time to download?I'm on a Mac running OS X 10.3.6.Thanks.

Simon Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 You can check your link here http://www.numion.com/ Despite upgrading to 2mbps, you should remember that contention is likely to have a big impact on the speed of your link. I'm not sure but I guess that France is the same as the UK and that standard contention is 40:1. Contention is where the connection is shared between links at the telephone exchange. i.e. up to 40 other people could be sharing your 2mb link.
