My internet was out for about a week and now that it is finally fixed it seems way slower. Not only is it slower, it seems that I can't have more than 2 devices on my wifi network at once. And, as soon as I try to stream or download anything... everything else on the network refuses to load/refresh.

Above is my current speedtest. I pay 32,800 a month. SK Broadband.
My pingtest was really jittery until I updated my routers firmware. Now I have solid ping but still, the speed and multi-tasking is definitely not what it used to be.

| What you gotta do is get a korean friend or GF (preferable) to b**ch and moan til sun comes up. It'll get them to change to par or better. My wife did that. They upgraded my connection to digital. So much faster now. |

| Yah, and they should do the speedtest before they leave. My guy did one on the ollehKT site, and afterwards I even went to speedtest.net and did one while he watched, just to double check. |

| They do a local speedtest. The international connections are what really stink. |

Does your key board have an any key key? If it does, push it. If not, try turning your computer off and back on again.

Speedtest has a local Seoul server, which he used.
For awhile it didn't, but they got one again.
My internet really tanked at my old place. A couple years ago it was great, 80-90/10 up
but then about 8-12 months ago, it just went in the toilet. had the tech out, he said it was a problem in the area, other people were also complaining. It was down around your speed or much lower, hitting 10/2 sometimes. Moved to a new apartment a month ago, running 97/73 the first time I checked it, it's a little slow today

The ping is a dead give-away. 64ms ping is pretty high for in Korea. |
