I use 100mb shared internet connection. When I hit
ctrl-alt-del to see how much of the available bandwith I´m
using it shows that I use usually mere 0.5-1% and it
rarely goes over 1%. So how do I kick some speed to me
connection?
 
I suspect that this is an interpretation problem. You are
not understanding what is being shown to you. For
example, if you have an internet connection that is 1.5
Mps and you were using all of that speed it would show
you using only 1.5% of the available 100 Mbps that your
network card can handle (15% if you had a 10 Mbps card).
So you would see a reading of only 1.5% even though you
are maxing out the speed of your internet connection. In
actual practice you will never be able to use all the
speed of your internet connection because some of the
bandwidth is used for mangement purposes and you can only
connect as fast as the slowest connection in the link of
servers to the websites you are connecting to. Hope this
helps.
