Hey VanBuren! Thanks for helping! Here's my tweak results after the cublenut tweak: http://ttester.broadbandreports.com/tweak/block:5a02807?service=dsl&speed=512&os=winXP&via=normal If my ISP is at fault is there anything specific I can berate them about? lol Thanks!

Hey there! Thanks for the responses! Can't get over how good a community this forum generates. Thanks for the cablenut tweaks VanBuren, I did everything you said, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to have worked: :::..

I'm a noob to tweaking as you can tell, my last 2 high speed accounts were both from a network and managed by others. Now I use a normal adsl modem running through the filter that came with it. I've been pinging that abnormally long hop too, it's averaging out around 150m/s, which as you noted is rather a long time...could it be something on my isp's end? Really appreciate any help! Peace.

Hi everybody! I posted a couple of days ago regarding my ridiculously slow 512(!)kb/s virgin connection, which was running at less than half supposed speed. Some great advice and cablenut help from VanBuren (thanks for that!) cured the problem, but it happened again on the very next startup. I've now come to my wits end trying to fix it. Cablenut and DR TCP have been used with various configurations (following carefully the advice and guidelines from this site and dslreports.com), as well as many tweaks from dslreports. I've tried four different firewalls, limited and eventually stopped all non essential programs and tools from using the connection, re-booted again and again and again. I managed, after a cablenut settings .zip Vanburen passed on to me, managed to get 505Kb/s down, but as I said it was rather short lived. I've checked for spyware/adware and viruses (using adaware, spybot s+d, Norton antivirus and AVG antivirus). My system is a Compaq P4 2.6GHz, 256MB RAM, 60GB HDD (around half full). I am at the moment running the Kerio firewall (wanted Sygate but it kept crashing Windows). Could I have a registry problem or something similar? I don't think it should be my ISP, as their connection ratings seem high and no one I know using them has ever complained. I emailed virgin themselves a whole bunch of times, but for some reason they haven't mailed back...hmm. Anyone willing to help would have my deepest gratitude, 'cause I am about to go severly nuts. test and tweak results: :::..

Cool! Thanks for all your help, best broadband site on the web (by far). Will definately be a regular visiter. Peace! Nitro

Hey there! Could someone please help me! My virgin.net 512Kb/s account was activated this morning, and I've spent all day trying to ascertain why it's so slow... I've viewed the posts by Ca3le and VanBuren and followed the instructions within. Using CableNut I managed to bump the speed upto 300Kb/s using IE (after uninstalling Zone Alarm), now I'm using Opera and the speed has dropped back down. I know broadband isn't always consistent (traffic, lines, conditions etc), but I feel even 300Kb/s is taking the mickey, let alone 130Kb/s. I'm running a P4 2.66GHz, 256MB RAM, 60GB HDD. Speedtouch broadband modem running straight into an adsl filter with no extensions. I also have my standard phone plugged into the filter. All my drivers are up to date and everything apart from the connection is running smooth. I've previously had a 1Mb/s connection shared through an ethernet router, and that ran fine. Virgin are useless and have yet to reply to my (many) other emails about different subjects, so I'm not going to hold out for them much longer... Any help would be muchly appreciated!
