Does the speed of my internet depend on my computer or my internet server?

Question

i got peoplePC just in case that matters

Answer 1

It depends on your service provider, the distance between you and your local phone exchange and the number of subscribers they have in your area.

Answer 2

Since you have dial-up, Web surfing is generally limited by your 55KBps connection. If you have a decade-old Celeron, this may be different, but even my biege PowerMac with a G3 266 is far faster on broadband than I ever remember a dialup PC being.

On another note, any P4 2.0GHZ or faster PC with at least 512MB of RAM will not be a bottleneck. This is a rough number of course, but generally, think that computers over about five years are a bit less responsive on Flash-heavy sites.

Answer 3

In the most cases: The internet server. When you are downlaoding files etc its on the internet server. But if you have a crappy computer, that like have no ram, it could use some more time then other computers to load a webpage

Answer 5

mostly on the internet service, but if you have a really crappy 80s piece of junk that could also affect it.

Answer 6
