</div>
<div>I have this problem for months but I decided NOT to deal
with it as a high priority and sometimes to ignore it. Now, I
can't ignore it anymore. I'd like to understand and know what
is going on??!!</div>

<li>My Internet Connection is 8Mbps</li>
<li>I'm using this machine: P4 with 512MB RAM and USB
Network Adapter (N) and Lubuntu 13.10 (latest update) is
installed</li>
<li>I have N Router</li>

<li>NO matter what website I use, even when I use
LXTerminal to update my system, my machine/system is
refusing to use more than 1Mbps (125KB/Sec) of
Connection Speed while I have total of 8Mbps</li>
<li>Needless to say, everything is FINE with other
machines. I'm using two machines right now, the one with
the problem explained above and the other one is Core i5

router which the P4 machine is connected to.</li>

Could it be that this is working properly and you're simply looking
at different reporting standards -- megabits/second vs.
megabytes/second? That would be the easiest explanation for an 8x
difference.<br>
