Windows 7: Limited ADSL bandwidth

saeidmscs · 25 Jul 2011

Hello every one.
nice job.

My 128kbps ADSL bandwidth,is limited to 50kbps

and I don't know why,but two week ago,everything was O.K.(I am struggling with this problem about two weeks...)
I have checked all process and can say I'm not hacked(my system isn't zombi)
Maybe it's useful to say that since 3 weeks ago,I downloaded a file from torrent and it took one week to download.

Any ideas about such reduced speed in my LAN(ADSL)?
I appreciate any help.

Thanks in advanced

hi

have you checked the cables?
funny thing i had probs last week and i had to change my cables and the adsl filter (as in the pic) and the bandwidth returned to full speed.

Do you have a monthly cap on the amount you can download? By monthly, I don't necessarily mean calendar months, but payment period months, which may be any date in the month. If so, you might have exceeded the limit and so your ISP has throttled your connection for the remainder of the payment month period.

They could also have detected that you were downloading via a torrent, and thus throttled your connection because of that (some ISPs do this).

The monthly traffic is unlimited,my friend.
mmm...,I think I must change all the cables and connection ports

and wait for what will be happened after that.

I'll inform you.

As our friend had suggested,I changed the splitter (somehow,two cables) and the problem is solved.
Thanks to all
