    Internet Speed

    So the connection from my ISP is roughly 6Mbps.



    Using Networx Speed Meter, I load and HD video on youtube. It shows an average of 600 KB/s.

    From my RG/router in the office, i am running cat6 to the 10/100/1000 switch in my room. Then cat6 from that to my Gigabit card on my PC. Granted the RG to switch wont be 1000 Mb connection since the RG isnt gigabit.

    Given the above, why is it that my connection is so slow when it gets to my computer?

    Re: Internet Speed

    After reading up on the differences in KiloBytes, kilobits, megabytes, and gigabytes i realize that i am getting the network speed i asked for. This is awkward now.

    This thread is resolved. IF you have any comments to add... go for it.
