I recently subscribed to globe broadband 384 kbps. I just want to ask you guys how should I determine that I'm getting the speed of 384 kbps when accessing the internet.. Honestly, I am not really familiar with the connection speed so at least someone can give me an advise so I will know if it's worth what I'm paying for. By the way, I only use internet on weekends because I am working Monday to Friday. Thanks much!

If you are supposed to be getting 384 and your getting 24 Kbps, that is absolutely not good. Try this.
