Q. re:download/upload speed. Can someone please help? [View All]

[Crystal Clarity]

Here is today's result of an online speed test for my 3mg wireless dsl service. I've run this test several times before and the result was always about 1.50 for download and .50 for upload which (I'm told) is not very good either. But today's results!?! WTH?

Could the problem be my dsl service or my laptop? The laptop is a 5 month old Dell Inspiron 1545 w/intel pentium duo core t4400, 64 bit. Please forgive my woeful lack of knowledge on this kind of stuff. I'm not sure you even need to know about the computer and/or if so, whether I've provided anything relevant.

However, I probably ought to add that I can't help but wonder if it has more to do w/my service. Especially in light of the fact that just last week, my entire State was without (TDS) internet service for a day and a half, due they said, to "a broken circuit".

Bottom line... Do you think the problem is due to my computer, my TDS dsl service, or a combination of both possibly? An answer to this question and any info, advice, ect. you may have to offer would be greatly appreciated... BTW, I intend to call my server later today if my computer is still running this slow by then.
