Author Topic: Frustration with Internet speeds  (Read 3049 times)

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.

oh wait
dsl

there's yer problem.

Ya, but my mom has dsl and it is a way better speed it downloads steam games at 150kbs

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.

150Kbps isn't that great; it's actually pretty bad.
its better than my 80 kb/s downloads

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
