ADSL and high stetzer meter readings

Hello,
I'm just shocked because I've detected that using ADSL (downloading
files) increases my stetzer meter values.
Average values 65-75
With ADSL the average are 80s and appear some peaks at 100 - 130...

I'm sure that using your high speed Internet probably does increase
the Stetzer readings, although certainly we've seen Stetzer readings
far above 100 - 130, so the values you are reporting aren't too
terrible.

I'm not sure what the safest highspeed Internet access option is
for people with ES. In my area, I could use DSL, cable, or
"ClearWire" (wireless). I'm using DSL.

Hi Marc and Daniel,
 
I am not sure the internet connection has as much to do with this as the computer doing the downloading.  I used to not react to downloading files on my old computer, however, my new laptop I bought last year makes me ill downloading, or uploading, for that matter.  I have to walk away from the computer while doing these functions.  Of course, it is not always that easy because now these infernal contraptions sometimes do these functions out of the blue without our help or consent.  I would love to return to those days of Windows 95 or 98 when computers were in direct control of the user.  lol
 
My 2 cents,
Diane

Basically a concerto of frequencies that will increase with cpu activity
what do you expect !

It's possible the culprit is the DSL modem. It probably uses a switching
transformer and draws more power during sending or receiving. That
power means more current at high switching frequencies.

You may find that using a power filter will help. Unfortunately the
Stetzer meter does not measure common mode noise. Try just
using an AM radio to see how much is detectable an inch away
from the power cables.

Hi, Bill,
 
What I meant was I am using the same DSL modem and the only difference is the laptop computer I am now using.  So, what you are saying is it is still the DSL modem that is causing the problem because my current laptop requires more power than the previous laptop when downloading and uploading?  Just clarifying and that makes sense to me.
 
Thanks for the info re the power filter, too.  I will be moving in a few months so I suspect my needs will be changing somewhat.  It might be also that I need to update my DSL modem (something I was not really wanting to do, as I was doing fine previously with my old one and we all know how change for the newest tends to get us into trouble!) 
 
thanks,
Diane
