Upload kills download

[rssfed23]

Hi all,

As some of you know, AOL have doubbled their speeds.

Since this doubble i have noticed this problem: whenever i am maxing out my upload speed (so thats 25kbs then ) i can no longer get a very good download speed. This never used to be (i could uplaod with 25 and download with 120).

My first thoughts say RADSL, but i didnt think they use it on 2meg lines.

Also my stats arnt that good (Downstream margin: 13, Downstream Line Attenuation: 48, Upstream Line Attenuation: 30), although dispite this i dont get any disconnections.

Just wondering if anyone else has this problem or knows a possible soloution (i am using a Linksys router, but this did not have this problem when i was on 1mbit)

Many thanks in advance,

Rob

any time you are uploading alot of information your connection will slow down. In order for your computer to download information it must request it first which means it needs to upload information to the server to request information from it. If your upload speeds are maxed out or near full, this will increase the time for your computer to make the request therefore making it seem as if your download speeds are slower.. also remember that acknowledgement packets are sent back to the server stating that you have received them. once again.. if your uploads are being maxed.. this will decrease your download speeds.

If those numbers are your speeds, there's something majorly wrong, because that's analog dial-up speeds!
