Take a gander at this.
This is what I should be getting.

This is what I am getting.

(It really averages at 54 kbps, but my screen cap failed.)

So, What the hell?

FYI, .58 Mbps is about 593 KBPS


You just went full handicap, bro.

Speedtest measures in bits per second. Your download is being measured in bytes per second. There are eight bits in a byte, so you have to divide 593 by eight. The speed you should be getting is ~74kb/s.

Well, is there anybody else using the same internet as you? Anybody that torrents-- omg all my power went out just now. 8| What the hell.

Kay anyways, if somebody is torrenting then it's going to be that slow.

Also if you're using wireless internet, you should make sure to password it. My internet went out by I can use the neighbor's now xD

This.

There's a reason it's written as "kB" and "Mb".

B = Byte
b = bit
