I want to know what it is cause I just checked and though my connection says 100mbs I'm only getting about 3mbs into my network.

Banned? Read the ban message at least 3 times before sending a PM. And if you're out for some revenge or just want to call me bias, let's play.

bam!

It's way more for hosting matches though.

Go to SpeedTest.net and do a test to the Yellow pyramid (that is the optimum one for you) then show me the results.

Well i've played on literally dial-up download speed with 128kbps upload speed and it hardly makes a difference when compared with my new connection when off host.

The best speedtest is actually done in your Router's settings.

I'm just moved to Bangkok, Thailand about a year ago so that may also explian the problem a little more.

oh you need to go to your local internet provider and give them the special. Then you get what you want

Speedtest.net is easier to explain (all Router's are different) :P My Router is always much higher than what speedtest.net says.. For example, right now my Router says:
Downstream Rate: 6695 Kbps
Upstream Rate: 802 Kbps

Speedtest.net says:
Downstream Rate: 5648 Kbps
Upstream Rate: 677 Kbps

Also Speedtest.net gives you your ping.
