That would be 565.76 kb/s

So either someone else is using your internet in the house, or your ISP isn't giving you the 700kb/s speed

its only me and my dad dat use the pc no 1 else not unless some 1 stealing my internet seem to drop from 700kbs to 500kbs and been like dat for a fair while now just started been a pain cause i hate waiting for flims

[Shane]

1 of 4 things then.

1. Your dad lower the speed plan to save money.
2. Your on wireless and it isn't password protected so someone is using your internet.
3. Your ISP is throttling you.
4. Your on a wireless broadband and your signal is simply weak and can't get the full speed (Can happen on DSL and Cable internet as well).

i have wireless but my usb thing keep over heating so i just unpluged and used the cable for it dont no if dats why or if i should of turned off wireless dont no much abourt stuff like dat and dont think me dad droped speed would of told me so im not sure .

[Shane]

Log into your router, does it have wireless settings?

Shane

[silverwolf6625]

Security Options  WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)

Wireless Access Point
 Enable Wireless Access Point
 Allow Broadcast of Name (SSID)
 Wireless Isolation
all 4 of them are fix and the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)  is ticked not sure if dats any help help to ya
 might stick a screen shot in

[Shane]

It is most likely a weaker signal from your ISP is all. Thats why your getting the lower speeds.
The speed test shows your max speed of 500 kb/s.

So unless your ISP is throttling you perhaps you should call them and ask about the signal.
