This is my current speed.

I have an 8mb down, 1.5 up line. Right now my upload speed is faster than my download.

I have reset my modem and router, no change. Im currently trying to download the Warhammer Online Free Trial client ( just the installer ) and its going at 12kbps.

I have suddenlink internet.

Am i being throttled?

Or is this probably some other problem?

    Could be a huge plethora of things. But those speeds look like they've been throttled.

    Does anyone know suddenlinks policy on throttling?

    Ive heard of them doing it, but have never experienced it before.

    Im quite concerned, cause i eat up a huge amount of bandwidth every month, and if they are going to start throttling me, im going to have a lot of troubles.

    Was this just today? Suddenlink had two big fiber cuts in West Texas today that could have affected your speed.
