turn off your firewall

Your getting over 1 Mbps, that's not that bad... what did they quote you?

God - DirecWay must really suck balls. Everyone is ALWAYS talking crap about them and people actually start whole websites about how much they suck. lol

very nice, I need to remember that one

Oh yea... Trial-By-Fire ~~ only way to learn..... this is how I have learned everything on computers, I break it and have to put it back together

Do you have any firewalls running?

See... I don't have that problem. And it would be very hard for your browser to cahce any of my tests. Change your browsers max cache size to 5000 (or about 5MB) this may fix the problem. With highspeed it really doesn't need to be bigger than that Here are my scores, I scored lower on the retest... upload was the same either way. And by the way, my connection if running like shit the past week or so. :::..

Cool, thank you guys, glad you like. Use it to search from now on and you'll be supporting this site

My next one is going to be silent too... I used to have that same case Van, but mine was the white one ~~ huge case!

cool cool... this is the one I got a few months ago http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=11-144-001&DEPA=1

that program works great. I use it to simulate slower connections so I can test the accuracy of my tests

Niiiiice

Try this first.. Open > https://testmy.net/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=1013.0;id=65 -- open the EXE inside, don't worry I assure you it's safe Click DSL > check Modify All Network Adapters > click Optimal Settings > Click APPLY ~~~ reboot and re-test ~~ post what you get and we will see from there if we can tweak you anymore

Actually you are so close to where it wouldn't have said that. At 90% you are in great shape. Plus, keep in mind that this is an average for your host overall. If some people on your host have better packages (like they pay for 3 Mbps connection or something) this may change the idea of what's ideal. What package do you have with your host? You may want to check out this tweak guide post .. over in the guides section of the site >> www.testmy.net/topic-1013

Try unplugging your modem for few seconds and plug it back in. This will manually make your modem request settings. This may help you get the new settings faster than waiting. Re-Test after and let me know. Also, you may want to tweak your connection. It might not be optimized -- see the post in the guides section .. >> here >> https://testmy.net/topic-1013 I'm on 5Mbps also.. check it out :::..

Firefox is still better...

Yes, that is a good one. Also, I reccomend Linksys BEFCU10 (or something like that) they are awesome modems... very fast.

I don't think that's DOCSIS ... check to see if your ISP allows docsis modems, let me know and then I can let you know a good modem

type about:config in your address bar and change the following setings settings changed: >>> means 'change to' network.http.pipelining = false >>> network.http.pipelining = true network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 4 >>> network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 20 network.http.proxy.pipelining = false >>> network.http.proxy.pipelining = true nglayout.initialpaint.delay = 0 ?????????? I never found this setting myself Good luck ~

Isn't that some old ass modem?

guess ya changed you mind.. I will delete this post .. hehe

Cool, thanks. Got me to load @ 2.12 now Thanks, it's in Texas right now. I may be moving the server to Phoenix, or maybe add another server. I have been having routing problems to this one. Plus the traffic is getting a little heavy for just one server... it's a headache man.

mine is 2.36 -- is there a program you used to tweak firefox. Or did you use about:config -- let me know what settings you used to get your gain... I still haven't tweaked my firefox, and I don't used m2 anymore.

I don't log IPs
