<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>NO matter what website I use, even when I use
LXTerminal to update my system, my machine/system is

<li>Needless to say, everything is FINE with other

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>
