New ISP: 4X Faster = 4X Slower

[bobland]

CenturyLink upped my bill from $36 for 12Mbps to $58 (tax included). So, I bailed and went to CableOne, which offers 50 Mbps for $50 (tax not included). Now, I have over 4x the speed but everything is so slooooow. I keep checking speedtest.net and it always show 50 +/- Mbps down. Virtually, every web site I visit does NOT pop up instantly but has long pauses ("waiting").

In fact, I downloaded World of Tanks. It cycled the speed from 12 Mbps to 12 Kbps. The 5 GB download took over 2 hours. Is it possible that CableOne is throttling me?

Never had this problem with my "slow" 12Mbps connection.

I'm hoping some of you chime in and tell me the entire internet is slow.

Sounds about right with deceptive advertising. One is bits and one is bytes.

Hello,

Have you tried connecting your computer via wireless and wired? What's the outcome. Any other computers having a similar issue?

You might want to post your Speedtest results on both wired and wireless connection.
