Inquisitor: Running Norton AV? Kill it. No Norton. It was strange, but it wasn't my bandwidth I'm fairly certain. Nor was it a cached result. There was no cache on my end, and it happened on consecutive days.

Trust means everything to me, as I'm an extremely honest individual. I don't appreciate being questioned, but I understand that most people are unworthy of having faith placed in them. https://testmy.net/stats/id-09J4GBS8I

I know this is a fluke. I can pretend it's for real though, can't I? Here are the results from those two links: :::..

The reason I knew something would probably go wrong, is certainly not because of anything you did. It's the result of having previous problems when tampering with the settings. Perhaps this ISP isn't very receptive to it; I've no idea why. In any event, this is after I went back to default windows settings: http://ttester.broadbandreports.com/tweak/block:51f48d2?service=cable&speed=3500&os=winXP&via=normal I've been 'unpingable' for quite awhile -- is that something usually seen, or an indication something's wrong? BTW, it's nice to know I'm not the only night owl. Also, fantastic job with the forums, Cable. Been awhile since I posted. This site is looking nice.

I knew something would probably go wrong. Before I used the 3500/384 settings you provide for Cablenut: Connection is:: 3366 Kbps about 3.4 Mbps (tested with 2992 KB) Download Speed is:: 411 KB/s After: Connection is:: 2862 Kbps about 2.9 Mbps (tested with 2992 KB) Download Speed is:: 349 KB/s The latter results were consistent over many tests. Any idea what went wrong?

SB5100 I've never had problems connecting or anything, so I assume it's not a big deal. Also, the cap was set back to 2.0 mbps. The reason it took longer, he said, was because the TFTP server wasn't started properly. Anyhow, I've always wondered why the logs looked like that, with all the 'critical' errors and 'failed to acquire' responses

$45 a month, for 1.5 mbps (advertised as 2.0 mbps) They can do this, only because there's essentially no competition. If there's a hint that Cox, or whomever, is coming to town, I guarantee their service will improve. To no avail, because I'd sign up with Cox immediately.

They must have competition. Otherwise, these prick companies will keep it as low as they can while trying to steal as much money as possible.

Now, he says it's been returned to 2.0, all you have to do is power cycle the modem -- done it, and it's still 1.5.

Concerning D-Link, their website states that they're "the #1 Wireless provider in Europe and China." That's pretty bad, if the Chinese get this technology ahead of North America. Not a good sign.

The likely cause, is a new configuration file. All glory to uncappers. (within reason.. just to get what you pay for)

PPPoE connection? You've certainly nothing to complain about. You're in the 99% percentile, when it comes to bandwidth.

Game developers haven't even been able to max out the Radeon 9700. Meaning there's little incentive to buy these two cards, unless you're rich or crazy.

That likely won't happen until the connection drops below 1.2. The customer rep., said they consider anything above 1.2 (on their 'up to 2 mbps service), to be 'acceptable'. The 3.5 mbps service, is $70. https://testmy.net/cgi-bin/auth_check.cgi?ta=&top=&align=&num=2022711&kbps=1514&gen=gen&a=9.14285714285714&b=1.71428571428571&c=1145.14285714286

Line booster? Can you shed some more light on that topic for me, Swimmer? Are you speaking of some sort of line overload? Perhaps too many people on one node? The bandwidth is pretty steady, around 1.4; that leads me to believe it's either a configuration file, or a crowded node.

What's the advertised speed you should be getting, microwave? Here, they promote an 'up to 2 mbps' service -- I get 1.4.

Hey Lorne, Well iv'e done just about everything possible to increase my speed, guess ill be happy at 3.5-3.7mbps. Im using a router and just wondering if there are any tweaks or settings that can be changed to increase the speed. Thanx...... Be more than hesitantly happy about 3.6 mbps. That's a fantastic connection. If it ever got worse, you'd realize that.

All I know is, when the cable company made the switch from SB3100 to SB5100 (always on), my bandwidth increased from 2, to around 4.2. After three weeks, it reverted back to 1.9; and a week later, to 1.4. I mentioned this to the cable company, they sent people out, and had no explanation for the decline. (that they were willing to admit) I suspect it's either a new configuration file, or they're filling the nodes to capacity.

What are you paying for your service, bdodom? That's a superb connection.

I've tried everything. What it boils down to, is external factors. It's either a new configuration file, or a problem with the line itself. I suppose I enjoyed the 800kb bursts, and 450kb/sec downloads, while I had it.

Consider yourself fortunate. I'm learning to manage with this lousy service. ::: Download Stats ::: Connection is: 1589 Kbps about 1.6 Mbps (tested with 579 KB) Download Speed is: 194 KB/sec Auth Code: 2023836 (validate at http://www.testmy.net) Bottom Line: 28 times faster than 56K you can download 1MB in 5.28 second(s) Validation Link :: https://testmy.net/cgi-bin/auth_check.cgi?ta=&top=&align=&num=2023836&kbps=1589&gen=gen&a=4.57142857142857&b=1.71428571428571&c=1145.14285714286

Hi, disturbed.. What's your RWIN / MTU settings? I, too, got 2 mbps over the advertised speed. (around 4.3) However, they sent out new config files, or something, and now it's at around 1.4-1.5.

Your results are fake.
