if u run speedtest how do u tell if it is what u are supposed to be running at or potentially having reduced performance?Originally Posted by a!!!!1 
My internet has been incredibly slow today to the point where it's basically unusable. I went to speedtest.net and it said my download speed is 12mbps and upload is 1mbps. Obviously it's not 12mbps when it takes a full 4-5 seconds just to load google.com. Is it possible I could have something configured incorrectly that's not letting me use all of my bandwidth? I don't have anything else open that should be sucking it all up like that.
I have my modem on a battery backup, is this a bad thing to do?
