ok guys, its time for me to wake up from this terrible nightmare, my problem is the following:
I don't live in the states or anywhere near the states, but in a country famous for its slow internet connection. The best connection speed u can get here from any local ISP is 15kb/s. on an average, all connections share a speed of 10 kb/s, and under some circumstances, it is also considered "normal" for the speed to fall to 4 or 5 kb/s occasionally. The ISPs comment: "The more you pay, the more you get", and I find that hard to believe. They tell you they can significantly increase your bandwidth if u increase your payments, but they are already charging people 40$ per month for a 10kb/s connection!
Couple of days ago, I was SHOCKED:
For the first time, I decided to see how would the connection do at 5 AM in the morning (of course, at that time, all or most of the subscribers are offline). I tried to download a program, and out of no where, the download speed averaged 150kb/s !!! This never ever (and I mean NEVER EVER) happened to me or to anyone I know who lives where I live. And it proved to me one thing: the network is " capable" of handling such speeds (because the connection remained like that until 8 am, after which it started to decline to reach 10 kb/s again (which makes sense because more and more users will be logging online after 8 am).
I observed my internet connection for 3 days (and now my eyes hurt because I didn’t get enough sleep for the past 3 days lol) and I noticed the same pattern: between 3 am and 8 am, the connection can reach 150kb/s, and in the worst cases, 100kb/s.
PLEEEEEAAAAASSSSSEEEEE HHHHEEEELLLLLLLPPPPP!!!!!
Am not that good at computers, so can someone explain to me what is going on here? And do anyone know how can I solve this problem? I'm sure there is a way to keep my connection speed like that all the time, probably a unique specialized software can do the trick? (I already tried "download accelerator" & "download manager", no luck! Or maybe all i need to make is a few changes in my pc network configuration and settings? As u can see, I cannot resolve the problem with my ISP (who obviously doesn't care and consider 10 kb/s to be the norm and a great connection speed for 40$ per month)
AGAIN, ANY HELP IS REALLY REALLY APPRECIATED!….
thank you all in advance.........
Information u may need:
- I have a wireless Internet Connection (my ISP is a wireless internet provider)..
- My connection icon in the system tray shows: "Speed: 100.0 Mbps" I don’t really know what that means :s
