  1. Actually I have read several times to only run one tweak at a time. You might ask Fallow Earth about that. (Or maybe Van Buren.) As I think FE is the one I heard it from. Just a suggestion, I would have backed up my files when I started, and deleted or something like that. I only use TCP Optimizer so I am not sure. Some sort of conflict.
  2. Remember dlewis23, "It must be some spyware from some site I am not ever on? That is weird!"
  3. I am going to try the 4000 in a few weeks, but most people still use Dway after their contract is up. Since it is the only available speed besides dial-up. And like me have become accustomed to it.
  4. He has gotten them on every test we have thrown at him so far. That is why I suggested the dual test, it would run pretty much on its own. And he passed it.
  5. Yeah, lag, fap, storms, modem restarts, repointing, etc... But seldom do we hear someone going back to dial up.
  6. Welcome to the forum Fugger Nice speeds. Whats your upload like?
  7. Welcome to the forum davidsama Most of us slow down during those times, due to congestion. Multiple users on at the same time.
  8. Again, you can use an air compressor for compressed air, instead of buying compressed air. If you happen to own one, but turn down the pressure. Just a thought.
  9. You have to wonder how many times TMN has been linked and posted? I venture to say, we are probably ahead in the game. Good competition is never a bad thing.
  10. I have a similar problem when my step dad comes to visit. He wants to use mine as he is on dial up at home. But he thinks he has to reconfigure everything. I try to contend with it. He changes the resolution to the largest. He downloads programs. And by the end, I am frustrated to no end. And he gets aggravated when I go back and change it back. I do only put him in as a user. But I still have to try and get along, or they will not come and visit. One time I actually told him I must have some spyware on it. ( I changed most of it back) Just remember, you get to change it back when they are gone.
  11. Actually most of the discussions on temp are for gamers, as us surfers do not heat up as bad. Just my thoughts.
  12. Kind of like driving a beautiful Ford Mustang. It is beautiful, and everybody stares. Not really wanting to promote Ford, just a beautiful car! That is not spam is it? Or is it? Is it?
  13. Well step up to the plate and disproove it Bird Fan. We tried and it seems he is getting them. So I am satisfied until then. And even if they are burst, I wish I had them. And he even tested with the 1496.
  14. This thread rocks in a weird sort of way.
  15. My apologies davidrose9, if it appeared that way. No the speeds are real Burst speeds. They are common for satelite. They are also good for page loading and surfing and such. But they only last a little while for actual file downloading. Anything larger than larger than 5MB on a file and I can guarantee you I will be D/Ling at 1030kbps. So it has started a few discussions about it. But the settings are real, and many here have used them and liked them. Or I would not have posted them. I just laughed to detour from flaming. Sorry again. And it sometimes it takes 3 days for those settings to fully set in your comp. I hope you enjoy them. I mainly surf so it works well for me. Here is an average one I did last night, I only get these speeds at night. :::..

  16. I never thought of it that way, I guess it is good in a weird way. "parental control" Lol You also forgot the storm control feature. Your kids will be off in the event of a storm.
  17. Comparable to dial up, with out having to dial. And no phone interference. Yeah, not bad at all.
  18. Yeah, who wouldn't? And save a lot of money! At least they are consistent at night. :::..

  19. Welcome to the forum daman4469 "Perhaps you could try being dirty too." works well. But I would call it "Playing it smart."
  20. Just keep filling out those questionaires, maybe it will pay for one.
  21. Strictly speaking about the many that are not as smart as others.
  22. Yeah, I am not used to seeing it in the subject line. But at least you have a fairly nice option available to you. Maybe not as good as you would like. But better than many others. I am on satelite, now that would very much upset you on something like that.
  23. Welcome to the forum dwt1966 We have a few members in that vicinity. I think.
  24. Welcome to the forum gabeindenver What are your advertised speeds? Those are some nice speeds.
  25. Welcome to the forum TiToSlavia Have you tried cleaning in safe mode? Have you restarted the modem? And don't tweak your connection with cable-nut until you get those speeds up first!
