Why is my internet so slow?

[Tracy L]

Network settings on your computer only show the speed between your computer and the router/modem not the internet speed. The internet speed depends on which package you have from ART. Go try speeds at http://speedtest.net to see what you are really getting. Most servers show speeds in mega bytes/second there are 8 bits in one byte, thus 16mbs is only 2MBs. So multiply your .70 by 8 times to get bits or about 6mbs in ATT speak.
