Allowing for the fact that the Internet isn't always "up to speed," I'm still mystified by why it doesn't turn on like electricity, as I'd expect.
Almost invariably, when I initiate a d/l it kicks in at a relatively high speed, quickly works its way up towards my max, and then plummets and works its way back up again, but in agonizingly slow increments of 1 or 2 Kbps, sometimes even 1 or 2 Cbps.
There's apparently some sort of resistance factor in effect, and I'd appreciate somebody's explaining what and where it is.
Thanks.
