My computers connection icon says that Im only getting 100Mbs – whats going on?
You’ll feel a little sheepish when you learn this but the 100 or 10Mbs reading that you’re seeing refers to the connection of your internal network that’s on your computer. It’s a measurement of how fast your network card in your computer is connecting to the local network, in our case, the maximum connection speed that your network card knows how to talk to the network at. This connection speed is actually far faster than your account speed because it’s in megabits and your service is measured in kilobytes. 1 megabit is 1,000 kilobits so your 100 megabit local area network connection speed is actually better than 200 times faster than your account speed. At least you know that your computer’s capable of talking this fast, right?
