I have ADSL and tried toast.net for a speed check. It came in lower than
what mcafee.com shows, but not a big difference. Toast showed 800kbps and
mcafee read 1mbps. To me it is disturbing that my speed is going down - it
had been at 1.5mbps when I first got it a few weeks ago! Still much better
than the old dialup 33kbps.
In reference to my speed drop, I suspect that phone line noise may be
contributing to the problem. I get some static on the voice side (it happens
after a rain). What else can cause such a slowdown in DSL?
