what do you mean by updating the internet settings?

thanks fattymcbluff, anybody have any other suggestions?

http://www.dslreports.com/prequal/distance for dsl distance

i am using a homeportal 1000 by 2wire, strange because i am very close to my station

2800 ft. = 0.5 miles. So there shouldnt be any reason for me to only get 1.6 mpbs unless it is capped, do you live in san francisco? I need more speed

hey lilaznhobo, just wanted to know how far you are from your dsl substation? Because i just upgraded to the pro package and getting only 1.6 whereas you are getting 2.5 which is pretty good in my opinion, also what kind of modem you are using. thanks

Before upgrading i was getting a consistent 1.2 mbps and now i am getting 1.6 mbps after the upgrade, which only seems like a miniscule upgrade considering that i am very close to my dsl substation. Could there be a possibility that my dsl is capped? I am on Winxp SP2, Trend PC-cillin Antivirus, 2wire modem, ethernet. thanks in advance.
