Look in the bottom right hand corner of your screen in the task nar. There should be 2 comps flashing screens. Hover your mouse over them and itl pop up with the connection speed.

If thats what you meant. Sorry if its not.

100mg is the MAX connection speed of your P.C's network card.

If it's an old card it will be 10mg

You need to do an external test to one or all of the sites listed above, they will all throw up slightly different speeds.

as above and say if its 2.2 in the tasbar or in my case 1.1, it aint what your getting by a long shot, its just what you should have but you wont get basically.

A good speed for 1meg is between 800-900kbps for example
