I use speedtest for getting a ping test, upload and download speeds. If its a cr@p result then I, on there screen chose a different server and look at the result
My brother set it up for me, hes a computer nerd and company owner, but then, u read there I.P. address and use them as "target" for connections I think it is called.
I will call him tomorrow and ask him to send me the exact way he set it up, if it aint illegal, and post it.
But just for example, I got home now and did a test. Shows me 14Mbps download speed, chose a different server some 300 miles from me and got up to 28Mbps and thats over Wi Fi
Oshi
P.S. I aint a computer freak or genius, whenever its cr@p, I call my brother, he talks me through it and I do it
