2mb connection 0kb download

hi, i have a 2mb connection, and i should be getting a good dl speed rite? wrong!

i am getting a 1-3kb dl speed and a 1-3kb UL speed y?

i have ported bitcomet through my firewall, and i am using a standard speedtouch modem.

i am NOT on a restriction due to a fair usage policy, and i have even tried downloading with firewall totaly off, i let it go for hours to reach full speed but to no avail!

what is going on?

the torrents are all ok and good, i even tried using private trackers with torrents that have lots of seeds but they dont work either. i even get stuck with nothing downloadin, oh and before you ask windows xp firewall is set to off.

so what could it be? i am not using a router or anytihng.

Of all questions, probably the most frequently asked. Look here.
