Yep. I like the scroll, and found it especially useful before I knew my way around here. It was the first thing I read as a noob, and it gave me a good sense of the helpfulness of everyone at testmy.

Hey matt_31 I work for Comcast in St. Paul, MN. The ideal level for our modems is around 0dBmV, but they work great anywhere from 0 to -10. Levels like yours can cause very slow speeds on our modems. My level is -3, and before tweaking, I tried a 6dB pad to see if that was the problem, but no go. You might try a 3-way splitter as cableguy said, or get ahold of a couple different pads, and try those out. If that doesn't work, I'm sure VanBuren can help you out with tweaking. Good luck!

One more for good measure...(this is my best test yet) :::..

That's great news.

Hey VanBuren That's a lot of information! (nitro) Maybe it can help... TCP/Web100 Network Diagnostic Tool v5.2.1e Checking for Middleboxes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Thanks VanBuren for all the help so far...I imagine you have better things to do than help noobs with their issues, so I appreciate it!

Thanks for the quick reply! I've tried the 3000/256 settings, they appear to slow me down 400-500kbps, but will give it a go with the 3000/384.

I've tried some of the tweaks discussed here, with mixed results.
