I was guessing eletrical interference. 

I like my spam grilled and on toast with mayo.

Your right, I never noticed after all these years. Who would have thunk that got missed. OH C-A-B-L-E .........

I used hughes satelite for years, and the first problem I saw looking at your tests is the test you are using is way too small. It will give small speeds. Honest. Don't go with less than a 3mb size test. It takes over a mb to just get warmed up.

And I have to be honest also, hughes never gave burst speeds in the day. So not sure on that one. And if I am correct boost is usually with D/L ..... no?

As far as how does satelite work it flies 20,000 miles up and the same back to make speed. And that is what the lag of satelite is, and unstoppable at any speed. Here is an example.

Also making sure the modem is grounded of static helped a lot, and I did it everytime I turned the computer on, besides disk clean and defrag. Yes daily routine.

Hope that helped.

Will it cost to try it out ? If so I'd say make sure before spending as we have often found to be the case with hughesnet in the past. IMHO, and glad to see you back.

It was simply an option when I initially started my computer up. I asked here about it, and decided what the heck, and have had no problems. So figured if it ain't broke, why fix it. 

OT I know but dammit nice to hear from you on TMN tstillery !!

IE6 was the fastest ever for me.

As time goes by all the new ones get more and bloated.

FFS this is still going on?

Get what you can afford and move on !

Not a problem. In all honesty it's the same reason IPv6 is replacing IPv4. We ran out of IP addresses. With the 128-bit structure of IPv6, we literally have enough addresses for each person on the world to have trillions of them for themselves. (340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 total addresses, Estimating 6,840,507,000 people in the world, and we can determine that there is approximately 4.97451968 × 1028 addresses PER PERSON.)

All of this leaves us to wonder, what will we do with that many addresses?

The address space is divided into two sections, similar to IPv4. There is a network portion, the first 64 bits, and a host portion, the last 64 bits. (We have already seen that this is 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 for each section.) Now, using this information we are dividing the 64-bit network portion up even further, with a 32-bit section at the front being allocated to local Internet Registries. They allocate a /32 (32-bit network header) block to an ISP. Then RFC 6177 recommends the distribution of that into a /56 for each end-user site. (I.e. 256 networks into each site, replaced RFC 3177 recommending /48 for each site, thus allowing for more end users for each /32 block.) This leaves each /32 block with 16,777,216 /56 sites. (I.e. Each /32 block can have 16,777,216 end users.)

The only problem now is transitioning to IPv6, which is a much larger task than most people thought. (Considering the hundreds of thousands if not millions of routers and switches in the world, that all have to transition, this is going to be interesting.) There are actually multiple methods to make the transition implementation easier. Including some IPv6 tunneling standards, to wrap an IPv6 network through an IPv4 network. (Although we are still in the process of getting it distributed throughout the world.)

For the most part, China and the American D.o.D. are the only places fully converged. (That I know of at least.)

Thanks,

Hi Guys

I thought I'd post a solution to a problem I had recently - it might help someone else. Last year I was getting 30+ Mbps down with Comcast using their "Boost" option (costs a bit more than regular). Then this year, it dropped to 10Mbps. Of course I complained to Comcast, ran all types of scans, checked my PC with HighjackThis, etc. Nothing. I have a Dell XPS with a mother board capable of handling 24GB of RAM. I had 15GB in it but then took out a 1GB stick to put in a 4GB stick giving me 18GB of RAM. I also have a bootable second hard drive "F" with Win 7 Ultimate but my primary "C" dive has Win 7 Home Premium.

The puzzler is the secondary "F" drive was still getting more than 30Mbps down but the primary "C" drive was only getting 10 Mbps. What's up with that? I tried everything until I discovered that Windows 7 Home Premium can only "handle" a maximum 16GB of RAM - Win 7 Ultimate can "handle" 192GB of RAM. When I dropped my RAM back to 16GB my speeds returned to above 30Mbps on the primary C drive.

The lesson for me is that if you put more RAM in your machine than your Operating System can handle, you might down grade your speed when you think you're helping.

man o man...i feel used... thank you

can I have a milky way?

Please? I'm hungry!

(@CABLE) N00B!

Just has not been much to cheer about the last two years. Sorry. I hope it picks up soon also. The USA needs a shot in the arm.

For me the thread is never forgotten.

How many people feel strongly about the USA, and what it stands for?
How many can see the flag raised and the star bangled banner played. And not cross you hand over you heart. And not shed a tear.
Yes a tear,for me!

Yes a tear
not a tear
Don't care

Did a poll wrong. Sorry.

Next time I should smile proper then.

The hard core MAC addicts are busy trying to find 'duct tape' for their Iphone4 and all they can find is 'duck tape' in the store, so they have to keep going from store to store until they can find some sticky gray tape. Some places only have sticky black tape. And the stuff in the dollar store only lasts so long before it falls off.

But, But, But MAC's cost so much. And Windows 7 don't crash. And a badly behaving Windows System can be fixed with Linux.



Hows this MAC list?

I used to have to do this with my XP box.

Go to control panel*classic view*left click system icon*hardware tab*device manager*sound, video, and game controllers*ATI unified*right click*properties*driver tab*uninstall*reboot

That might just do the trick. Let us know if you would.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
