I have a Hathway 256 kbps connection using cable Modem. The modem is Scientific Atlanta. There is PC LED indicator on the MODEM which is supposed to blink continuously when you are connected to the Internet (atleast thats what the engineer told me at the time of installation. He told that only if this LED keeps on blinking it means that you are utilising the full bandwidth capacity)
When installation was done, the light was not blinking. So the Engineer switched off the Windows firewall and the light started blinking again.
After that, when I restarted the system the light was not blinking and i observed that the speeds are quite low as compared to the previous instance when lights were blinking.
I am using Kaspersky Anti Virus. Not sure whether this is blocking. But please let me know is there any truth in this PC LED thing?
