  1. Everybody, look!!

    My download speed is less than 1Mbps. If it is during peak hours, it's even worse.

    I called Rogers tech support today and have them check on my modem and everything, they said everything looks fine on their end and there is nothing wrong with my modem. Even the tech support guy has no idea why my download speed is so slow. I have tested it with and without the router connected, as well as ran the test on different computer, but all the same. The download speed sometimes is even slower than my upload speed. What a crap!!

    The tech support guy said that he'll have the engineers to take a look tomorrow, but they'll probably say the same that they have no problem with their end. Geez... what can I do? Help!!!

    Maybe its the splitters at your house that are faulty or the cable that runs from the wall to the modem.. I had a problem with the splitters which caused my Internet to significantly go down in speeds and eventually stop working.. Tech guy came with a new modem but only replaced the splitter because that was the actual cause of the problem :)

  2. I have Rogers Express (3 down/384 up) and here's my test (from a bit outside of Toronto).. Those are my usual results (don't go any higher even with tweaks :():

  3. If its not the client pcs and connecting cables, maybe we can call this a paradox :D.. its not the OS, not spyware/antivirus, not router/cables, not internet service... This maybe another one of the Internet mysteries.. Hope you fix it though ;)

  4. Have you tried switching connecting cables? That's rarely it but that's the last reason I can think of why your internet behaves that way.. Since the router worked and everything was fine before and you still are covered by warranty, best thing is to return the router for repair.. Maybe someone from the forum can think of other reasons for this unusual situation :(

  5. You should scan for spyware/viruses because those nasties can slow down your internet...

    It could also be from your connection and as coknuck said you should try tweaking your internet connection.. Good luck ;)

  6. You should also scan for spyware/viruses because those nasties can slow down your internet too...

    It could also be from your connection but as resopalrabotnick said, you should also try tweaking your connection.. Good luck ;)

  7. try again directly connecting the internet modem to your computer (via USB or Ethernet) and see whether you get the same slow speeds.. If you get high speeds by connecting it directly, before you call them, change some of the cables connecting the modem to router and router to client pc's.. It may be faulty wires, but it could just as well be a faulty router.. Good luck ;)

  8. There are free firewalls such as Zone Alarm Personal and Kerio Personal that watch out for attacks and then block them.. You have to set up rules for them (for what programs can have access to the internet), but after that setup its pretty much run in the background and sometimes edit the rules so new programs can access the Internet.. I do not bielieve you need all 3 firewalls (I only have 1software + 1 hardware in my router :D) ;)

  9. ok great.  No longer seeing the invalid boot message so it looks like once again I was able to get better and faster answers here then from any other site or person.  Thanks to all that helped with this  :D

    THIS PLACE ROCKS!!  VIVA TESTMY.NET.

    :headbang:

  10. I know this does not compare with the other posts, but its good enough for me :D

    hard wired

    no tweaks at all

    pretty nice speeds too :)

  12. No, I gotta say, it really isn't your right...I got the Ultimate Edition, lol, so... :-P it kicks @$$  :D

    But, you do need a really powerful computer. Anyway, what's funny is that you can acutally set Vista from the default theme to the older style, though I'm not sure why you would... :cool:

    hehe.. I got the new OS for the theme and now i want the older OS look :D
