Answer #5
More users in your area are using the internet currently, so your isp (usually) shares your connection with 50 other people. (This only counts for cable internet (broadband)…)

do you think that it is adware, maybe something else like a trojan spyware ?

Answer #11
i have cable, fibre optic internet (virgin media) and i am never supposed to get reduced speeds. i start 9 rs files and after the first 3 it drops by half. then some times it goes back up to my payed speed of 500kbps. could this be the rapidshare servers like cogent, telia Etc?
i am not sure whether to contact isp because of what i am dwnloading (games movies ETC)
thanks guys and this may be this guys problem aswell
Answer #12

many uk isp apply this capping at around 30 gig per month
Answer #15
many uk isp apply this capping at around 30 gig per month
Does that include BT Option 3? Because I am experiencing fairly slow speeds at the moment.
Answer #16
Maybe is that cause i was seeing my bandwith and i did 40Gb’s
i have to wait for the next month to see what happens
EDIT: i tried to download some files trough uTorrent and it worked (i get my normal speed) so what a hell is this?
i tried to download trought rapidshare (firefox) and only 1/4 of my speed
andd i tried trough internet explorer but only 1/3, im desesperate.
but if i download 4 files at the same time has the normal speed (1/4), if i download
normaly i get only 1/4 of my download even if its just 1 file HELP
Answer #17
well mate, i can recommend you a program that may help your life, it is called internet download accelerator and it does work, my speed is 290kbps normally on rapidshare i get 600kbps using that
try it out just search for it
that is a temporary fix
Answer #18
Why did blueyonder have to change to virgin?
The new download cap sucks
Answer #19
Check for spyware/adware, or anything else on your system. Contact your ISP and ask them why it is happening only if you know for sure no bug is on your system.

Negative.
The pipe for cable is much greater than what your neighbors typically throw at it. I believe you are talking about DSL where, yes your neighbors being on will affect your connection.
I got 4 computers online on one cable…wireless router in my house. I can flashget at a constant 800kb/s on all of them at the same time.
800 kb/s when only one is downloading 800 kb/s when all of them are downloading.
Cable connection.
