I tried being hte only one connected, and connecting through a router with him. He still gets godly speeds, (even better once he got a new pc) Gonna go check out a few today.

Southwestern Ontario, Canada. My roomate is getting like 10mbps on this ISP and 5 on the other one. Think I'm headed out tomorrow to get a new PC, any last minute suggestions before I do that? Perhaps formatting.. but that's such a bitch.

One thing to note, I've had 4 tech appointments made (2 didn't show or call) and the 2 that showed up, one said they didn't know and would come back (and never did) and the last one said it was probably an issue because they were upgrading analog to digital in this area and it might be a year. I called tech support and he said it sounds like the tech fed me a bunch of crap. My roomate also has a DSL connection in this apartment, I've tried to connect to that and I don't seem to get much better speeds.. I guess it could be a computer issue. Fr0

Pretty sure there is a problem somewhere. Not sure where to start. Any help would be fantastic and appreciated. *Edit* I'm using XP I use a router My ISP is Cogeco cable I've tried to plug it directly into the modem and my speeds are still bad. I've checked out both these links https://testmy.net/forum/t-2097 http://www.testmy.net/forum/t-3924.0 I want to try out Cablenut but don't want to mess up my computer or my internet connection. I guess I could really use some help with it. Fr0

Hey, thanks for replying. I have read these in the past and I check the stickies before I post. But, I guess I'm a bit reluctant to run Cablenut. Yes, I'm using a router and I have reset it. Fr0

Thanks Fr0

Thanks for replying. I had a hub at the time, I plugged in my router and it seems to be working a bit better. I don't know hwat the advertised speeds are, I get it from Cogeco cable. A friend of mine says he gets upwards to 5-6Mbs with the same provider, and he also uses a router. Don't worry, I always read the stickies before I post in a forum. Fr0
