I'm using "Cable" & my ISP is "Hotwire Communications"
Ping: 12ms.
Download Speed: 5.84 Mbps
Upload Speed: 0.90 Mbps

Should i complain or get a different ISP?

Upload could be a little better. As far as downloading goes if you're not downloading gigabytes at a time that speed will work just fine.

Hi ! My down load speed isn't good either. My ISP repairman was out here and proved the problem is in my wireless hardware on my lap top.
He got almost 50Mbps down load on his lap top. I suppose I could get a toggle and do better, but I'm lazy and cheap! I'm about ready for a new lappy any way!!

The download speed is the worst I have ever heard for cable N3, have you checked what speeds they claim to be offering with them and I agree with Bob the upload is really bad also? Are there maybe tiers of speed that you pay different prices for?

I'll be talking to my ISP soon to find out more information. Can malware affect the speeds?

Yes it can. The malware could be using your connection as part of a botnet or is distributing the malware itself.
