Punch Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 I've just been upgraded from Numeris ISDN to ADSL 2028m with a wanadoo livebox. I have noticed a reasonable increase in speed (this site still remains slower than most!) but wanted to know if there is an easy way to check the speed as I am paying extra for the 2028 meg connectionn as opposed to 1024.When I click on the icon connection on my toolbar it says vitesse is 54,0 Mbits/s although a second comuter upstairs connected by cable to the livebox gives a figure of 100,0 Mbits/s. The main computer I use downstairs is connected by the Wifi usb connection supplied with the livebox.Any help from you tecchies or anyone in a similar situation would be appreciated,Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamaram Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Hi There are lots of ways to check your speed. However one of the easiest is to look at this page www.texan.net/speed.htm just refresh it a few times and you will get a snap shot of your connection speed.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Trollope Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Hello PaulWhen I click on the icon connection on my toolbar it says vitesse is 54,0 Mbits/sThere is a WiFi standard at 54Meg. This is obviously what you have got, and it works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babnik Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 What you are seeing is your network speed. 54 mb/s is the 802.11g wifi standard speed, while 100mb/s is a common speed for wired networks. Your internet connection is 'only' 2 mb/s, so is well within these parameters.
