wired. normally im on just under 20meg. at a guess i would say it is due to the amount of other users in the web slowing things down.

Mine`s usually pretty consistent at around 2.5 - 3.5 meg all day. As said above, sometimes it slows down but I just reset the modem.

How much are you downloading? Anything of 2gb I think you'll get throttled
