ss6703 Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 I have a Verizon DSL with download of 1.7 Mbps and upload should be 160 kbps. I ran dsl speed tests and i got around the same figures for upload and download. The download is fine but my upload speed i only get 12 to 15 kbps. I called Verizon and they ran a test on my line and said the line was fine and I should be getting a download of 1.7 Mbps and upload should be 160 kbps. But that is not the case with the upload. I am connect through a linksys router. Anyone has any idea on how to correct the problem :huh: Any help is appericated. Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmuZombie Veteran Posted September 26, 2003 Veteran Share Posted September 26, 2003 well... do you really mean 15 kbps (kiloBITs)? or do you mean 15k/s (kiloBYTEs)? 15kbps is about 1.9k/s... which is much much slower than dial up... however, 15k/s is 120 Kbps which makes it a little more realistic...

ss6703 Posted September 26, 2003 Author Share Posted September 26, 2003 I beleive it is kbps but not sure. For example a small file about 200 megs took me over 3 hrs to upload. A bigger file about 700 megs well took over 12 hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MxxCon Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 ss6703, your speeds are perfectly acceptable for Verizon DSL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantsnyy2002 Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 I beleive it is kbps but not sure. For example a small file about 200 megs took me over 3 hrs to upload.A bigger file about 700 megs well took over 12 hrs. there is a difference between kbps (kilobits) and KBps(kiloBYTES) your upload of 160kbps is correct. You should be getting 12-15KBps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
