Slow Internet connection

Show all headers | View raw

At some point in the last few weeks it appears I experienced a major
reduction in Internet bandwidth. I address this list because I suspect
the problem is hardware related, but if I'm wrong someone might
charitably direct me elsewhere.

I'm running Debian Sqeeze, with a Realtek 8168 or 8169 chip though a
LAN cable to a modem, which has its wireless enabled for someone else
to use.

My download speed is about 2.54 Mb/s, and upload is 0.43 Mb/sec. Is it
true that with DSL broadband one should expect figures on the order of
16 and 32 Mb/s respectively?

I just experienced several download failures with large files, and
this might indicate a RAM problem or CPU overheat. But the CPU is

  temp1:       +43.0°C
  temp2:       +37.0°C

I ran memtester on 4 Gb (I have 8 Gb installed) with one iteration
and no problem reported.
