I have used a Hathway 256kbps unlimited conx for around 2 years and I have had a decent download speed all along - around 28 KB/s - but since the last few days the download speeds are like those of a DialUp 56kbps modem 🙁 The browsing seems to be fine no slowdown in opening of pages - only the downloads seem to be affected. What is strange is that I get around 5 KB/s per download I start but if I start 5 downloads at the same time I get collectively 25MB/s !! I run DU Meter so I can see the download speeds.
Can anyone please give me some info what can cause this ? Is it a problem in my settings or with Hathway ? I have restored old backup images but no change in speed.
I use the LAN conx from the inbuilt chip on my MoBo Asus A8NE and I have tried to connect with a Intel 10/100 Pro LAN card - no difference. I have done a fresh XP install on a NEW HDD and there has been no change in speeds. 🙁
I have contacted Hathways help line and nothing has come of that - I think I will have to push them more.
