I'm supposed to get high speed internet with my apartment...

[ScottyB]

but I am getting:

2005-08-29 23:05:21 EST: 108 / 394
Your download speed : 111243 bps, or 108 kbps.
A 13.5 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed is much faster than down.. have you tweaked?
Your upload speed : 404443 bps, or 394 kbps.


Is their anything I can do legally? They advertise highspeed internet as part of the package.

Faster than me

Do they advertise any specific speed?

 

[Joemonkey]

hah, legally? i suppose if they explicitly defined "high speed" in your contract

 

[Sluggo]

Legally? I'm sure their lawyer drew up the lease you signed.

It appears their definition of "high-speed" is much different than yours. 56k is high speed compared to 14.4.

 

[jlee]

13.5k/sec is high speed compared to 56k.

that isn't that bad

but with your upload that much higher, there is either a problem or some nutjob in the building is pulling mega GB of crap of kazza or bit torrent/whatever the current pirate software method is

That makes me sad. At my old apartment I got ~850 KB/sec
