Hey all, I decided to post a speed test since I haven't in forever. Lets see some speeds from you all as well..

:::.. Download Stats ..:::
Download Connection is:: 984 Kbps about 0.98 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB)
Download Speed is:: 120 kB/s
Tested From:: http://testmy.net/ (Server 1)
Test Time:: 2006/08/08 - 9:26am
Bottom Line:: 17X faster than 56K 1MB Download in 8.53 sec
Tested from a 2992 kB file and took 24.915 seconds to complete
Download Diagnosis:: 90% + Okay : running at 95.16 % of your hosts average (direcpc.com)
D-Validation Link:: http://testmy.net/stats/id-PT4UW7MQ3
User Agent:: Opera/9.01 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en) [!]

On the slow side today. I was going to run and upload test, but it was taking too long. I'll run one later. My brother must be doing some kind of shit. Here's my trasmission report:

Number of Successful Transmissions 193364
Number of Failed Transmissions 784
Number of Packets Submitted for Transmission 90188

Not bad, .004 failure rate (if I remembered to do it correctly).

davidrose9 welcome to the forum. that download speed is nice but its cached.

[davidrose9]

I am new to Hughesnet and am having troubles trying to download some larger files I have the pro pac and am looking to get a pro + tomorrow so I can get a static IP it seems that port forwarding is my trouble and need to open a port to download faster I have speeds that last for a few minutes and then it slows up to under dial up speed.
I hope this upgrade will do the trick 1.5 download and a static IP. If I sound a bit noob it is because I have been reading forums for 2 days now trying to figure this out and have come to this conclusion I wanted to see if my speed looked ok or is there something I am doing wrong?

[tommie gorman]

Welcome to the forum davidrose9 
Clear out your temp files before each test.
Browser at the top*Tools*Internet Options*Delete Files Including Offline Content*OK*OK*Test
That will make it much more realistic!

[davidrose9]

Thanks for the welcome the test is not working for me at all now it diplays a blank page after 12 to 20 minutes of waiting.
I will try the toolsa I see here and read a bit more.

Thank you

[tommie gorman]

Try this:
Start in lower left corner*All Programs*Accesories*System Tools*Disk Cleanup*check all boxes under files to delete*OK
It cleans out your temp files in a different way.

tommie you forgot the firewall thingy. I went round and round with z/a, finally went back to windows firewall. Have run all the proper test and they say I'm invisible. My speeds were better. Just a thought.

[tommie gorman]

I never used zone alarm, so I was not familiar with it.
I always used windows firewall.
But firewalls do make a diff.
Thanks deven

Dual test I just did on my laptop --- wireless 802.11G to Cox 9000/1000 - I pull about 1Mbps more on my computers that are hard wired to the router.

You might try this one with premade settings.
Or just use the numbers in it, click on the clipped attachment above the pic.
The first post. Just follow the instructions and Don't forget to back up your present file just in case you like the results you have now.
