Hello guys, ive been experiencing a lot of troubles with my isp, comcast, and figured i might as well try to fix it myself before i go through all the hassle of calling them over here. Im running off of windows xp comcasts advertised speed is 4mbps download and 384 kbit upload rate. I have windows sp2 installed.
1. My test from broadbandreports has shown this
http://www.broadbandreports.com/tweakr/block:5cbe07f?service=cable&speed=384&os=winXP&via=normal
2. Testmy gives me this speed
Your connection is 3366 kbps
your download is 411 kb/s
Diagnosis: May need help:running at only 72.2 % of your hosts average (comcast.net)
3.nitro gives me this speed
running 10s outbound test (client to server) . . . . . 371.80Kb/s
running 10s inbound test (server to client) . . . . . . 688.44kb/s
Your PC is connected to a Cable/DSL modem
Information: The receive buffer should be 42.08 Kbytes to maximize throughput (How would i go by changing this?)
4.The ping and tracer program shows this
