increase a office Internet speed
Hello
my friends office have a 10M ADSL Broadband from a Telco (ISP) and shared among the office with a LINKSYS 10/100 - 12 Port Switch -Cat 5e and they have 9 users in the office.
Though it gives 10M Internet speed of 10M according to the ISP once i check from Speedtest.net the individual machines that runs Win-XP-Pro gets only 1.5 M as internet speed.
How to i increase the individual machine internet speeds here?

How many computers are on the network? Are there any other comouters using the Internet when you do the speed test?
If you get that speed when all other computers are off/not using the internet, then you are definitely not getting 10Mbps from the ISP.
There are some QoS bandwidth management tools out there, if you really need it, but 1,5 Mbps is a good speed to access the Internet, on most cases. And it would probably be cheaper to just upgrade the internet access to a better speed.

The link is being shared by all the computers in the network...so may be other systems are also using the bandwidth at the time of the test...

you can terminate your internet connection on a single system rather than switch and chk the download speed...but remember that download is measured in bytes however bandwidth is measured in bits...
