[Nayanmanna]

Hey I have taken a new internet connection (wire broadband connection )
my plan is 256 kbps unlimited
My cable operator give this line using cat5e wire which length from post to my house about 230 mtrs
Where as i know the range of this cable is about 100 mtrs
They said that I get speed in torrent about 1.5 mbps but i get only 850 kbps speed
I test using different types of torrent (with high seeders & peers)
I told them about my problem bt they jst ignore it . So i want to know how to increse my speed OR is there any way to increse cat5e wire speed ????????????
PLZ PLZ help me ..........

Try testing your download speed at speedtest.net, when you are not running torrents. Torrent speed tends to fluxuate, and there is no way to increase the "speed" of a Cat 5e cable it is determined by the maximum speed of your router and your computer, it is either running to your computer at 100Mb/s or 1000Mb/s which is faster than your ISP's internet connection.

When you are talking about a post to your house, that is typically not a Cat 5e cable.

yeah, if you are paying for 256kbps and getting 850kbps then I don't see the problem. Be careful or they might slow you down to what you are paying for.

It does to a point but not because it is cat5e. Cat5e should be a little more resistant to interference. The distance limitation of 100m is when you use it for ethernet. DSL I would suspect you could go well over 1000 meters on cat5e.

Still the distance to the post unless it contains a fiber dsl device does not matter. There is likely much more cable back to the telco office.

It depends what your contract says. If it says you should get 1.5mbit/sec MINIMUM then it should run that, most time they do not guarantee any rate. It tends to be very hard to get good test results since they can blame another ISP you are passing though. You need to test to a speed test server run by the ISP themselves and if it does not produce the number you were promised you need to complain.
