Could someone explain me why my "broadband internet" is slow?
Look at my sig there is the speed. My ISP is TELMEX.
You might be asking
Why cant I get another ISP?
Because is the only ISP in my city... And hell its not a small city...
I hate TELMEX and its $"&%"%$·& owner Carlos Slim who is one of the richest $$$$ human beings in the world.

If your "broadband" advertised speed is 512kbps and you're getting 420kbps then your internet is about as fast as it can get.
Though.. some ISP do give you faster speed than advertised.
E.g. my internet is rated at 7500mbps, but i'm getting 30 000 mbps. -
Thats barely considered "broadband" at those crappy speeds. Looks like your kinda stuck with it too. Have you tried using dialup yet?
Seriously though, you could move somewhere else, like the USA.

Well there's some hope. I'd suggest satellite internet, but that wont work with any gaming.

Satellite internet is even highier ping, typically over 500ms. I used to use it, but then I switched to Cable and have been using it ever since. Anymore speed upgrade, then the ISP will need to replace their hardware and I'll have to get a new DOCIS 3modem.

Thats why I said it wouldnt work with gaming, yes.

Looks like you cant do anything about it till they upgrade the fiber and get some competition with other ISP's
But what you can do is get a very long CAT6 Ethernet cable and smuggle it into the USA. -

Btw satellite internet is even more expensive... Also as you said it would not be good for gaming.

I know that my local library has 100-200Mbit/s connection. -
or at least it is here. But I know that they have more than 5mbp/s, well there is an university near my house (like 2 miles away) maybe with a long range router, an antenna and a 2.4ghz amplifier...
I dont get it... Could someone explain me why my "broadband internet" is slow?
