A tech was out to my home this morning. I got the following information. Century link is set up for a download speed of 10 with a plus or minus range of 20%. The upload is set for a 1 with the 20% plus or minus. The speed coming into my home was a 9 plus, well within the acceptable range.

According to the tech, my slow speed of 3.3 etc is the result of my desk top not really being built to be operated as a wireless. I have a small
wireless UBS adapter which he felt would probably knock the speed down to less than a 4. At his suggestion, I will buy a more powerful UBS adapter and hope this improves my speed.
