I have my pc doing a dual boot of both xp and vista. I installed wm ware workstation on the xp partition and installed linux 7.04 (feisty fawn ) on it . i set to the NAT feature when i was doin it originally, so its networked from my main pc sharing internet etc.
so i just decided to download some stuff with it. Now my internet is gprs through my cell phone and in the 2 years that i have been using it me download speed never crosses 19kbps. But im downloadin in linux at over 40 kbps !! **** big improvement !

so i was wondering, could it be that windows is some how limiting how fast my download speed is ?

usually when i log in it is at 460 kbps...

Do you mean you have slow internet speeds?

I know in the UK there is problem with Virgin Media connections and not getting the speeds specified

You can try to use TCP Optimizer to optimize your ethernet card and see if that works

I have attached the link also
