Download speed ????

I recently upgraded to 6 Mb access thru Bellsouth. With Speedtest.net my wired computers usually get 5900kbs to 6300 kbs. My wireless Gateway laptop, while maintaining the same upload speed,
drops down to 5200kbs. Seems to run fine , but was curious why there would be a differnce. Please enlighten me. Thanks.

Wireless connection is my guess... plug it in via Ethernet to router or whatever & test, should get same speeds as wired computers...

your probably losing some bandwidth due to wireless, which isn't uncommon.
