I currently use Purdue University's T3 residential network to access the internet. I used to run a popular Hotline server which was relatively fast for most users but I shut it down for a few months. I tried starting up another server the other day but the speeds are really really slow for everyone that logs in, except for people who are also on the Purdue network. I've also noticed that I can't get good speeds from any Hotline servers any more. However, I can download at almost 1mb/sec from Microsoft's site. What is the deal with the slow speeds? I've instituted all the tweaks I could find.
