Please don't refer me any web sites that will help me find speed. I want to find it manually. Is that I find by looking LAN sent and received status? Or I download a file and look the download speed .
Have you tested it on an independent site to see what you get? With ADSL you get a faster download and slower upload. attenuation can cause speeds to decrease, disntnace from the CO will affect it, I've even known a compnay that were nextdoor to the CO, but there was an old load coil between the buildings that made the distance almost 2 miles.Hyperspace2 said:i was trying to know if we could do it manually. My ISP company tells it to be 128 kbps.

To check your internet speed, you can use an online speed test tool. Some popular options include Speedtest by Ookla, Fast.com, and Google's Internet Speed Test. These tools will measure your download and upload speeds, as well as ping, which is the time it takes for data to travel to and from your device.
The speed of your ADSL internet connection can vary depending on several factors such as the distance from your home to the nearest telephone exchange, the quality of your phone line, and the type of ADSL service you have subscribed to. Generally, ADSL speeds range from 1 Mbps to 24 Mbps for download and 0.5 Mbps to 3 Mbps for upload.
If you are experiencing slow ADSL internet speed, there are a few things you can do to improve it. First, ensure that your phone line is properly connected and there are no line faults. You can also try resetting your modem or router, as well as limiting the number of devices connected to your network. If the issue persists, you may need to upgrade to a higher speed plan or switch to a different type of internet connection.
The advertised speed of your ADSL internet connection is the maximum speed that your service provider can offer. However, your actual internet speed may be affected by various factors such as network congestion, the quality of your phone line, and the distance from the telephone exchange. Additionally, the speed advertised may be the maximum for a wired connection, and your wireless connection may be slower.
Yes, your internet speed can affect your online activities. For example, a slower internet speed may result in longer loading times for websites or buffering when streaming videos. If you frequently use bandwidth-intensive activities such as online gaming or HD video streaming, it is recommended to have a higher internet speed to ensure a smooth experience.
