is the speed between your PC and the modem, NOT the ISP speed. What speed is advertised by your ISP?
Here in Thailand, if you live in a condo, you have two Internet choices: wireless or ADSL. I'm not crazy about the latter, but I signed up anyway.
After two weeks of trying to connect, I now have it. The LAN connection speed says 100Mbps, but it's slow as molasses in January. It takes me almost 20 seconds to click on any web site, to send and receive E-mail(I have Yahoo). The Connection icon shows the local connection to be: Realtek RTL8139/810xFamily Fast.
For what it's worth, I have Windows XP and use Firefox(altho I'm willing to change to IE.
