I got a 1mbps broadband package that is shared a by two (maybe 3, i'm not sure) pcs. However, most of the time, only my pc access the internet. The prob now is the internet connection never had come close the 1mbps speed. In fact, i think it might be around 100kbps.Browsing media files is almost impossible, and my mozilla browser frequently shows "the connection has been reset" sign, and needs to be reloaded a few times before it actually connects to a site albeit slowly. Downloads are crap slow, never ever reached more than 100kbps. The fastest would be around 60-70 kbps, and even that only happen occasionally.
And one more thing, for some unknown reasons, the local area connection status window indicates my internet speed to be 100mbps, which is very unlikely.

Any sort of help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
