I've been checking my connection speed and don't think I'm getting the maximum performance from my connection.

If I open Task Manager in XP and select networking I can see that I'm running at about 0.4% Network Utilization of a 100Mbps link. This is a cabled connection to a BT Voyager Wireless router.

How can I check the ISP line speed and make sure that I am getting the most out of it?

Thanks

There's nothing wrong with it.

100Mbps is the speed of the connection between your computer and your router, not the speed of the connection to the internet.

Therefore 0.4% is about 400kbps which is about average if not slightly lower inc overheads and so on on a 512k connection.
