Logi Posted August 10, 2011 CID Share Posted August 10, 2011 I have been visiting this website for many years now. Up until recently it has done well serving me by telling my what speed I am downloading at. I haven't had the need to test my speed until recently I upgraded to a faster speed. I was connected at 12mpbs down and 1mbps up. I know it's not the greatest but I managed. Now my new connection speed is 60mbps down and 5 mpbs up. Here are my results. Agian This is a speedtest.net test. Yes, I know it's still not 60mbps, but if i go into safe mode it gets 60mbps. Not with testmy.net and i have Charter Communications as my ISP. This is no where near what I am getting, there is a problem somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted August 10, 2011 CID Share Posted August 10, 2011 Well, I doubt it's bad peering. Many people on Charter max their connections out here. https://testmy.net/ho...ory/charter.com What I would bet that it's your MTU and RWIN... Windows XP or Windows Vista especially are notorious for this out of the box. They simply weren't designed for the speeds you have now. Try this >> https://testmy.net/ip...__1#entry329146 download TCP Optimizer, get those settings changed then reboot and you should get faster speeds here. By the way, speedtest.net doesn't detect many of the issues TestMy.net is able to detect. https://testmy.net/ipb/uploads/emoticons/default_wink.png' alt=';)'> --- (our visitors tell us this daily). Another issue you may have is if your computer is ill-equipped to handle your new speeds. You'll see this more with netbooks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriRan Posted August 11, 2011 CID Share Posted August 11, 2011 also you might check to see if the network adapter is set at half duplex mode which would severely limit your downloading speed lol, when i first got cox 50Mbit one of my pc's wouldn't download past 14Mbps and i couldn't figure out why, turns out it was set at half duplex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logi Posted August 11, 2011 Author CID Share Posted August 11, 2011 Well I tried the TCP optimizer and it shows a increase of 5mbps lol. As for the half duplex thing, if testmy.net picks up that issue then it may be it not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted August 11, 2011 CID Share Posted August 11, 2011 That's a pretty major increase. But still far off the mark. What browser are you using? Give us some specs on your system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logi Posted August 11, 2011 Author CID Share Posted August 11, 2011 Im on IE8 and Mozilla, but my system is a little out of date. It's a 3800+ athlon 64 processor with 1gb ram and using on board graphics running Windows Media Center edition. It's not very fast but it does the job and i've tried starting it in safe mode and running the test and there is no increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
