My school had the internet turned on when I got here but the speed (upload) seems a bit slow.

I'm connected to a MNG-2002 Cable Modem (guessing its a few years old) and according to speedtest.net my speeds are:

download: 16 Mbps
upload: 0.42 Mbps
ISP - Hanaro

Obviously the download is great. Wish I had some more upload speed to post videos and such.

Think I should be happy with what I have?

I measured my upload speed at 212kbps once. Another time I measured it as 21mbps.........it varies all the time for reasons I don't know.

I wouldn't change my ISP until it seems that it really is so slow all the time.
