Does my modem have any effect on my broadband connection speed?
I am using an old usb (modem bt voyager 50) if i changed this to a more recent model could this up my connection speed (288/576). also is there anything that i can do with my pc to assist the project. bt say that the line is ok for 2mbits
Answer
Yeah the modem might have an effect, but also take a look at the cpu level while doing things on the internet, an intensive firewall rule set would consume much cpu time and perhaps limit throughput slightly.
also note that not all internet sites can carry a lot of traffic.
