Internet too slow?

[PurpleScotch]

Hello there, im posting this because im starting to feel wierd about about my internet..my internets speed is 4.1 mbps, and my download speeds max is 70 kbs (usually 40 --> 50kbs) on fast servers..and ive seen people with 2 mbps and download things with the speed of 150 --> 250 kbs...someone help me out here to figure out how to speed up my connection to what it is suppose to be ..any guides or something?

Thanks !

You mean it's always that slow?
Or just when downloading the demo?
Traffic for the demo is very high because it's just out, so slowdowns are expected.
I recommend you use bittorents because unlike normal sited they keep their speed or even get faster then traffic is high.

If your connection is always this slow then you need to contact your internet service provider.

Lower case "b" = bit.
Capital letter "B" = byte. (=8 bits)

1kBs=8kbs.

Internet connections are usually expressed in kilobits/sec.
Download speeds are usually expressed in kilobytes/sec.

My mistake then i meant KB/s ..

Yes im not talking about that demo, in that demo i got 15 KB/s and it dropped till 5 KB/s lol, i was talking about fast servers.

I will try contacting my isp..thanks everyone.
