I have cable and lately i have getting really low speeds.

When running the bandwidth test i use to be getting about 1.7-2.0 mbs now i get 365.6 kilobits per second.

anyone know what might be wrong and how i can improve it.
 
there probably a lot of local traffic and causing a bottleneck in your speed.
i read somehwere that the bandwidth is pooled in areas and each area is allocated a particular amount of bandwidth, so if everyone is using some of the bandwidth it may impact on yours.
have you tried it on a different site, because i've noticed that it can change quite a lot depending on which bandwidth test you use
 
No its the speed of my internet not the site. It takes a ton longer for sites to load and stuff. Oh, i live in a very small town where 7/10 of the poeple have dial up 2/10 have dsl then me and the other 400 poeple left in the town have cable (4000 ppl in this town.)
 
have a word with you isp and complain, they might give you the connection cheaper if you threaten to leave.
i must admit i've been experiencing problems like that recently but my downloads seem to work at the right speed which i find odd
 
Had same problem a month ago ended up being that some one around my area had damage there cable some how and cause my internet speed to drop. just ask your cable comp. to search for signal licks in your area.
