Re: AT&T=Bellsouth Speed Throttling with uTorrent??
if your upload is near max, then your speedtest results will suffer because the testing server has to wait for replies from your PC that tell it it received the data, and those replies just get put in line with the data you are uploading.
another factor would be that you have 6M service. if you are using 3M with utorrent, then the speedtest could never get better than 3M (3+3=6). there are many other factors that affect this on top of the fluctuations in torrent speeds and the max connections you can have, so i would suspect that this is all expected behaviour. |
