Sorry for the delay in responding.
Tell us more about this LAN setup. How many computers on the LAN? Why can't you speak to the administrator?
Connection speeds can vary greatly depending on different matters, type of connection, how many users using the connection at any one time, whether your PC is infected with viruses/spyware/trojans, etc.

I'm not the administrator of this LAN and can't speak to its administrator. The connection speed varies greatly. On average, when I download something, the speed I get is less than 20 KB/sec. Right now, though, a downloader is running for a large file and I get 300 KB/sec. On the Playstation 3, when trying to play games online, I never get playable connection speeds, but downloading speeds on the Playstation Store are always blazing fast. This isn't always the same either. I sometimes get good downloading speeds for very little time, only to have it drop again a bit later. Could someone explain to me what could be the cause of this unpredictability? Or, better yet, how I can guarantee better overall connection speed?
