Welcome to the forum eddielovelace I don't know anybody here except campers and such that would not trade their satelite set up in for just about anything else. I know I am patiently waiting for DSL to come around the corner. Did I say patiently...well maybe for now. It does always beat dial-up. I assume you are on the 7000 modem?
-
At this moment I can not imagine speeds like that. That is nice.
-
What are your advertised speeds first Dragonbreak. I would set the dial just a bit faster than what your advertised speed is. Then after a couple of days I would switch it every couple of days til I got it maximized. It takes 2-3 days to fully allow the settings to settle down. Say about 18,000 to start. And sometimes it helps to go lower than advertised. By the way very nice speeds.

What is the best free Optimizing program?
tommie gorman replied to Sharky2006's topic in General Help
Yep, the Optimizer is the easiest, and requires no settings to change. Only the dial if you want to tweak it. If I can do it, so can you. Some folks like myself have tried both and found the Optimizer faster. Although some like the tweakability of cablenut. -
Yeah, that would really suck. At least he is not comparing dial-up and FIOS.

Welcome to the forum mmenard Sort of just what they said. It don't get any better. Unless you upgrade to 3.0. If you are refferingto the " May need help : running at only 31.75 % of your hosts average (verizon.net)" part it only means an average of all type connections. Including 3.0, 6.0, and 8.0 if it is already out. So being at the bottom of the chain, you would get the slower speeds percentage wise. Hope that helped. Enjoy your stay, and come have some fun when you get a little spare time.

Nice speeds guys.
-
If you are on my clock and there is something to do. Work. To get on my space do it at home. Pretty simple really.
-
It would have been more fun if you had not posted it where he could find it. [Coknuck after seeing Tims speeds.] "What settings are you using Tim?? I can not get any where near those speeds. "
-
If you continue like that, you may want to put up a good security system. water has some pretty good spies. I understand she personally hand trains them all.

Nice speeds Sammy_C

Yeah Ryan, I had some serious problems besides being a resource hog with Quick TIme. So I stopped it from starting. But not errors. DOn't remember what else it caused.

I don't judge, I offer help more often than you can imagine. But I choose not to just give money. There is only one organization I will give money to. I whole heartedly give freely when possible. The Salvation Army. Those are some of the most unselfish folks you would ever meet. Or try putting in time in a mission. It is free, and they will feed you when you are done if there is any left over they say, and I never saw a plate that could not get filled. They make big portions and lots of pots of food. It will truly change your life. So if you truly want to help homeless foks do this. I have only done it 2 times, and will probably take my daughters when I feel they are old enough to take into the inner city after dark. I have pages of stories. But I will leave them for some other time. Thanks for your time folks, and hope I have not bored you. Just my thoughts.

The best you and I will ever do on this subject is agree to disagree. Saying "I guess that is enough for now.' means I have worked around all types. I have been so hungry and broke, I actually went in town Hitchhiking just to go file for food stamps, they offered me $10 a month for 3 months to get me on my feet. I turned and asked if I could get any right now ( I really was hungry) they offered me some emergency funds which was a voucher at a local store. I am a proud man and prefer to work, but I was out of options. Luckily my sweet landlady would let me slide a few months at a time knowing I would put on a roof any time she wanted. I grew up on foodstamps, welfare, clothes closets, the whole nine yards. My step dad (god rest his soul) worked 3 full time jobs to try and make the mortgage. 5 kids in the family. He was a police garage mechanic at the time. He would do any job. I do know how to work. And I do know people who do not want to do their part in society also. I have scratched my way to where I am. If folks want to cleanse their souls giving to folks who wish not to work and juststand on street corners. I am all good dwith that. I just prefer they do what I had to do. WORK TO EAT. My church at one time had a fella come in after hours. A couple ofguys from the church were ther including the pastor. He said his car was broke down on the road a ways. So they offered to pick p his family and feed them and put them in a hotel. He was upset, he said just give me the money. They said if you reallly want help and really have a family we will happily help. He angrily left never to return. And this was not inner city either... Oops. Too far again. Done.

First of all I guess you forgot that I work in that type of folks every day. They will also steal from you if given the chance. And yes I have put time in, in missions. Guess how many get turned away just because they would rather get drunk than eat for free. And a free night off of the street is also available. I have provided some of the best homes in the neighborhood that I own houses in. I have literally gone broke trying to provide them with decent homes. I am not a slum lord. But I have learned that it is necessary to make any money in those neighborhoods. And yes they do choose it as a lifestyle. I did all I possibly could. I have left a few things in a house just to have it broken into and ripped off. They watch everything you do all day. They would rather steal from me than work for more money. I have seen them get kicked out just bedcause they do not want to work. And down on my luck I have been several times. How many years have you worked for yourself shug? I have been at it for going on 20+ years. If you do not do it right, you sink quickly. So stealing is at the top of my list. Have you ever talked to a Hobo shug. I have intentionally paid a hobo just to talk to me. Yes they prefer it to civilization. And don't ever call them hitchhikers. They will tell you they are not. And yes they can get health care. If they want it. What makes you think they cannot get it. Their are so many ways around the system you would not believe it. I also want to say I haveearned every dime that went into what I have. Not one dime was given to me. I sweated on many a roof till my back would not go any further. Then I switched to landlord to help poor folks. Little did I know they would show me that that is a big mistake. I have given them a ride to wherever they wanted to go. Given them a sandwich. Never money though. Try to give them what they need, not what they want. If they are hungry, FEED THEM. If they want a place to sleep, they can go to a shelter, but they had better be SOBER. Yes I have asked them to work, and that is what they told me. I have needed help many times. So DO NOT CALL ME A LIAR! I am notsaying that maybe they are different where you ran into them, who knows. Here is another one. A guy standing in a gas station asks for gasoline to put in his car which ran out of gas. So I go to my brothers house and borrow a gas can. I go back to the station and he is gone. So about 6 months later he showsup at the station again. There he is again. He says I must be lying, no I said but I will give you gasoline if you will find a container. So he digs through the trash can and comes back with a antifreeze bottle. I fill it up and go over to taco bell across the street to just watch him. He goes from car to car so he can sell to someone to put in their tank and pay him cash. I have been propositioned so many times it is not funny. At street lights no less. I had a woman living at one house so drugged up all the time that she did not realize she had water running in her wall so bad it was running out of the walls. I do know the world is not perfect. But when they will not get in my truck when I offer them work at $8 an hour and a sandwich for lunch to boot, what do you expect me to do. I will not support their laziness. Ever again. You try and stop one time and see if they will even rake up your leaves for you. Let me know how that works out. At the same time I have had the most responsible folks stay at my houses. They are a pleasure to deal with. I guess that is enough for now.

So if a 1/4 is 2 bits, then put up 48 quarters on top. Kidding, I have no idea.

Nice speeds Sammy_C, try this test. You might want to add it to your favorites. It looks like with those speeds you will need it. The 20 meg file test. Now clean out you temp files before testing. It goes directly into the test. http://www.testmy.net/tools/test/d_load.php?&st=st&tt=1&ta=1&top=000&out_src=20MB Now post the score.
-
I have seen them much higher. Thats not bad. And only 436.03 %.
-
Tim it would only require a little cable silly. I even know that one. Silly boy.
-
Especially if you can get her to help pay for parts. Have you run error check Ryan ? Or is that the same as checkdisk ?
-
No, I meant the top and bottom scores have been met. Can they be beat?? Up I mean.

And so the thread dies with no future.
