when i had aol broadband, i was able to download a 15 meg file in 3 minutes. But now that ive cancelled the broadband service, im only able to download a file in 10 minutes, even with (t1). What's the problem?

Well whats you connection? Do you actually have the T1?? Or are you using dialup?

Please give more info...

If you do have a T1 line, it is probably a fractured T1. Your speed also depends upon the source you are downloading from. As kyle said, you need to give us more information.

i have t1. It still takes about 10 minutes to dowload a file. Ive tried downloading the same file with dsl and t1 and they're both approximately 10 minutse for a 15 meg file.

This is very likely because you already had the maximum speed from the source that you were downloading the file from.

Try running http://bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/ and telling us the results. This will tell us if its you or the source. Try downloading other files from diff locations and c if its better...
