8MB =/= 8Mb. A lower case b means bits and upper case means bytes. So, if the speed is 8Mb, you actually just have a 1MB connection.

of course, thats still not too near what you're getting. do the lights on your modem flash like mad even when you're not using the internet?
Yes the lights seem to be flashing alll the time, on the router.

Hmm, I'll check up on the MB Mb thing, but still im well slower.


I'm currently trying to connect to a game, downloading at 5kb/s. shiver.
