This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Couple of thoughts .... by NDBob

1) How are you measuring the speeds? Latency can artificially limit the maximum throughput for single download/upload stream if it is high.

2) As others have said wireless can also be a limiting factor especially if everything is sharing the same wireless and it is an older wifi router. If you can run a hard-line to your work computer, try to do so. Also try plugging a laptop or computer directly into the router and run the speed-test there, ideally when you know everything else in the house is off or idle.
