Our internet speed seems to have gotten slower just in the last few months. When I had some vacation time in December, I talked to our internet provider about this. They told me how to do a speed test which I did and according to them was at the level it should be. Then they told me I should replace all of the DSL filters on our system which we did. It seems to me like the problem has gotten worse than ever more recently. When we run a speed test, we still get what they say is the correct speed but when you load a website sometimes you wait for a couple of minutes for it to load. We tried bypassing our wireless router and still have the same speed according to the speed test. I talked to the provider yesterday and they said they would increase our speed effective as we were talking on the phone and we could try that for a few days to see the difference.
I have done a speed test several times since they told me they increased the speed but it still shows the same speed that we had. The speed we are paying for is 3 Mbps which they say should be fast enough to not have to wait for websites to load. To complicate things we did some experimenting today and if we bypass our wireless router it SEEMS like the websites load faster, but when we run a speed test we get the same speed whether we are going through the router or not. I have seen a few posts here about computer issues and hope that someone can provide me with some info or advice on this subject. To keep this tractor related, I have an old tractor and I like tractors.
