I am using wireless network and recently my internet get super slow 20kbps download speed 40kbps upload speed. But when I use wire to connect my internet. My download speed is up to 100kbps. No one is stealing my internet, and run my computer with safe mode with network prompt and it is still the same! Why is this happening???

It is because the every view that you make in the internet is a download. It is the data usage. The channel for the download in the network is different that of the upload channel. Both won't overlap at any point of the view. If you got to read some network related books, its all in there. Its the reason why you get the high speed for the upload.

There is no simple answer to the problem, much need to be done and tested before one can know the actual cause of this discrepancy, the signal level of the wi-fi, the type of software, server site, etc.... all play a part in the download and upload speed. I need to do some testing before i can know the causes.

actually I think it is just the opposite! My download speed almost twice as fast as my upload speed but they are both so fast with high-speed Internet that I really don't know to this the difference most of the time.
