How do I find out what type of internet connection I have?
 

Hi,

When installing, Limewire asked me what type of internet connection I have - T1, Modem, Cable/DSL, or T3 or higher. I have no idea - how do I find out? (I couldn't find it in Internet Options or Phone and Modem Options in the Control Panel.) I have broadband, but I'm not sure what speed it is. At the time I chose 'Modem', but I don't know if that's right. And if it's wrong, can I change it in Limewire or will I have to re-install it? Thanks.

Do a speed test (with only your browser open)

These couple of posts below explain a bit about speeds & should help you to set your speed in LW. You can change your speed by going to tools > options > speed. Click Apply & Ok to save any changes. No need to reinstall:)
