Less Lag

Last class, I finished almost nothing. This class, I hope I will get more done and have it* lag less**.
*'it' would be the mac
** It took 5 seconds to save this post, when my PC can do it in 2 or less. Now, when I tried to go to Google, it lagged for a minute!

Look at our internet speed:
It keeps me wondering why I only download at 50 to 100 Kilobytes per second. Scaling the fastest it has ever been (100 KB/s) to Megabits per second is 100/1024/8 or 0.01220703125 Mb/s. I remember in elementary school with PCs when I get over 1.25 MB/s (10 Mb/s) which is at least 819.2 times faster.

The mac creates packet loss and loss of speed:
Think: The ping is (67+91/2)ms+91/2-91/2 = 112+46-45 or (112-45) to (112+46) = 67 to 158
Keep in mind that for Packet Loss, anything over 0% is concerning. I never tested this connection over PCs, but I bet the score will be a lot better.
