Frustration with Internet speeds

[pixl]

I got tf2 and was playing it when I got extremely frustrated. My stupid Internet slows me down to almost unplayability. I know it is my Internet because the Internet at my mom's house could handle a full server on cs:s. My dad's Internet has always been slow, it downloads steam games at 25kbs. Is there any way to make it faster? Also: it is dsl, if that could be useful info.

Check cable connections between the wall/modem/router etc. or move the computer and run an ethernet cable from the modem to the computer.

150Kbps isn't that great; it's actually pretty bad.

I have it much worse than you most of the time my stuff downloads at <10 kb/s I have actually seen it download at a rate of bytes per seconds BYTES.

That's pretty lame if you have 100Mb/s. Do you use any service or do anything that even allows you to download at/around your cap? Seems like a waste to pay for that if you don't.

my steam d/l speed has gone up to 4mb/s
