im still in the process of contacting my isp provider, im still wondering if you guys can answer if using a cable splitter would slow down my connection. also i ran a download test from this website and these are my results: :::..

That is 48.4% worse than an average user on rogers.com >the rogers speed test shows my speed as a lot faster then the other speed test which one is more accurate is there a reason for the discrepency? also my speed seems to fluctuate, during some days and some times of days my speeds seems a lot better than other times is this due to maybe more users at certain times than others?

i contacted my isp provider and told them my problem they did tests and noticed that my entire area was experiencing high ping times. and supposedly they solved it. but i'm still getting some pretty crappy speeds, they said it may be my router or because my cable is split from my jack to my tv and computer. can routers and splitters slow down a connection? here's a trace route do you think it's gotten any better?

i have yet to move my devices around my cable jack is fixed and i have limited space not giving me many options. However i just recently exhanged my old modem in for a new one wouldn't that rule out any possiblities of a hardware problems? i've just replaced my ethernet wire with a new one that came with my new modem.. no change ack i guess calling my provider is the only option i have left huh?:

I haven't seen speeds like this in a long.. time just a little bit more and i'll actually be getting what i paid for! i think it may be my cablenut tweaks cause i honestly don't know what im donig with that. I have a motorola rogers modem, and a linksys Wrk54g wireless (but it's wired to my computer) im currently using WinXP_2K_CABLE_DSL/MTU 1500/Cable & Dsl 1500 for my cablenut settings. let me know if you need me to perform any tests.

i'm back.. unfortunately with the same problem! my connection speeds are disgusting, i've been in these forums before so i've done most of the basic things suggested by the sticky posts. i've scanned for viruses/spam/spyware downloaded cable nut and tried every setting with little to no change, i even tried the setting calculator which seemed to make it even worse. downloaded hijack this to get rid of any startup programs i didn't need downloaded sp2 for xp downloaded avast i've tried different routers i got a new modem, i even changed the position of my modem, router, tv and computer to reduce electrical interference i uninstalled unecessary protocols in my lan settings someone please help me OS: Windows Xp Home Edition ISP provider: Rogers (according to my bill it would seem my plan would be the express plan which advertises speeds of 5mpbs download and 384kbps upload) <- which is asstarded cause i've never once touched anywhere near those kinda speeds. Tweaks: cablenut but truthfully im not sure what i'm doing i just use the MTU 1500/cablexp settings which i believe is correct and it hasn't really helped my speeds. :::..

Yeap, my modem is leased so i'll go get a new one and hopefully that'll solve this annoying problem.

sorry two of the links for the pictures above don't work here are the correct ones http://www.geocities.com/crimson006/riight.jpg http://www.geocities.com/crimson006/cablejackbehindtv.jpg

sorry not sure what a NIC driver is? by reboot do you mean rebooting my computer? i've rearranged my modem and router around so that their both 2-4ft from my tv and 2-3ft away from eachother. but i've ran tests and it doesn't seem to really affect my speeds. i've posted download and trace tests with my new getup for you to see and i've also posted some pictures of where my stuff are placed let me know if you can see a better way for me to set up my modem and router. http://www.geocities.com/crimson006/left.jpg http://www.geocities.com/crimson006/right.jpg http://www.geocities.com/crimson006/overview.jpg http://www.geocities.com/crimson006/cablejackbehindtv.jpg *cable jack is located to the left of my tv it runs behind the tv to reach my modem which sits of the floor between my tv and computer the modem then runs over by my computer tower and connects to my router which sits on the other side of my computer under my desk. i've finally got a chance to connect my modem directly to my brothers computer and here are the trace results: the connection was made with a 30ft wire just letting you guys know cause i'm not sure whether or not cable lengths affect speeds.

nope my router on opposite sides of the tv stand from my motorola cable modem. so i don't think electrical noises from the modem are interfering with the router. Unless my tv has something to do with it.

Nah, i'm a gamer i only use torrent downloads for anime. Torrent downloads are slower than i remember but they are usually pretty decent. But my gaming speeds are always crap. I'll connect it to my brothers pc tommorrow and give you the specs.

I also use static ips so I can port forward our torrent downloads. Does port forwarding or static ips affect speeds as opposed to obtaining my network values automatically?
