Pretty close

Sorry, I have to correct you Swimmer... heart was in the right place... but your facts were a little off. "Line Booster" or amplifier is (yes) to up your signal strength, the can also add connections that purposly drop signal strength, because too much can be worse that too little signal. A bunch of signal does not mean a bunch of speed ~~ cable modems have a signal operating range that they need to stay with in to function propperly. Also, an amplifier is not used when "too many people are on one node and surfing at the same time." The way that cable works on the signal strength end of it is that lines loose signal strength from splits, taps, cable length and PHYSICAL stuff... the whole system is plotted out a head of time with signal levels in mind and a series of amps to deal with the signal drops of taps and cable plant length... When too many users are congesting the system they start doing work on the node to handle additional subscribers... if that does not work they start work on the head end..... that is a whole new story

damn canada and their bad ass connections...

never really that high ~~~ The usual was just an increase in the upload speed releaseing it to just about match the download speed, when those hacks were availible 90% of modems only had a 10Mbps interface. 16 Mbps... sheeeeeeeit that-is-fast too bad it's fake

If he was behind a firewall the AUTH would be 262626 ~~~ and would tell you... [code:1] SORRY, this can't be authenticated because the person who tested was behind a firewall or proxy server, TestMy.net needs firewalls and proxies down to authenticate that the post referer was in fact TestMy.net. [/code:1] ~~~ so I doubt that was the case... may have been some crazy cache progam or something... But the only person I have seen pulling speed higher than that was my friend and that was testing server to server ~~ a home connection that fast would be extramly expensive... one day in the future maybe

dope

Charter is making all their customers happy... everyone has been talking about them.

Stop into any of the Cox Stores valley wide and pick one up for free... No need to wait in line just walk up to the first availible rep. Store list >> http://www.cox.com/Phoenix/retail/retail-centers.asp

That is the same modem I have (I highly reccomend it) ~~~ but windows ME is lame! ~~~ also are you hooking up through ethernet or USB ~~ try to switch it to the USB if you are on ethernet and vice verse ~~ this will eliminate trobleshooting the ethernet port or the USB port.......... if you are on ethernet and find you get better speeds on USB ~~~ buy a new ethernet card, but use USB temp. - Damon

What kind of modem is it...do you have a router... what is your OS... what are your computer specs Have you had any problems with spyware? ~~ that can bog your shit too.

uhhhhhhhh...

Now that is a beautiful cemetric line Thanks by the way

Shit happens, just re-test... no matter how hard web software programmers try... our programs are always going to have problems because of the client end... though I have written MANY parts to my scripts to counteract client side problems that would cause error results...... they still sometimes sneek through

First of all....... it is the dial up Second... get cable... For real though, if you play online games, even games like starcraft and warcraft which really don't take up too much bandwidth... you are going to have problems with dial-up. The latency on a dial up connection just sucks. If you would like some help finding a nice connection in your area please check my tool at http://www.testmy.net/bandwidth_quote.html Post your upload and download test scores, I would like to see them. - Damon ~ Owner/Admin www.testmy.net

Nice icon shutta ~~~ how is that site comming along

SBC is looks like the SIZNIT!

those evil bastards... I have to deal with them here in AZ, they are actually USUALLY pretty good about hitting 'advertised' speeds ~~ but every now and then they will sell someone who is actually out of their loop and too far from the ped ~~ twisted pair does not like to play that game, it is a very touchy system..... that's why the cable system RULES! stupid QWORST

actually unless you have specifically stated in your contract there is no real advertising speed... usually there is only a REAL guarantee on speed if you have a high business class DSL or T1+ provider. If you are paying 600+ per month for you line you are being taken for a ride... I hate to sound like a broken record because since I have teamed with bandwidth.com I have said this a lot... but check the other providers in your area with the tool located at http://www.testmy.net/bandwidth_quote.html'>http://www.testmy.net/bandwidth_quote.html ~~ if you see something better GREAT... if not, whatever... worth a try huh? ~~~If I were you for that price I would get a couple T1's and you should get 3Mbps both ways ~~ or a business class 6-12Mbps class DSL which should have at least a 1Mbps uplink ~~~~~ If I get this for 39.95 p/month (well I get it for free because I work for my provider) ::: Download Stats ::: Connection is: 4041 Kbps about 4 Mbps (tested with 1496 KB) Download Speed is: 493 KB/sec Auth Code: 2060616 (validate at http://www.testmy.net) Bottom Line: 72 times faster than 56K you can download 1MB in 2.08 second(s) Validation Link :: https://testmy.net/cgi-bin/auth_check.cgi?ta=&top=&align=&num=2060616&kbps=4041&gen=gen&a=0.571428571428571&b=1.71428571428571&c=1145.14285714286 theoretically for the friggen price you pay you should get 15 times that speed ~~~ or at least my speed and upload 2Mbps with great latency... that would be acceptable ~~~ check the other providers dude ~~ By the way, I just called your provider and they told me just the other day they bought a 2002 Lamborghini Diablo 6.0 VT off the money they leached from you. They told me to tell you thanks ~~~ (april fools YO!)

Looks like right around what you should be getting, the wireless is going to be slower no matter what :-/ ~~~ I get about 3.5-4 Mpbs on my Cox connection here in phoenix (just like you have) ~~~ I do reccomend tring this tool from speedguide.net https://www.speedguide.net/files/TCPOptimizer.exe NJOY...

windows ME suuuuuuuucks

sheesh.. ya might as well get DSL 512 for those speeds fill out my form at http://www.testmy.net/bandwidth_quote.html if you want to see some other T1 providers in your area.. prices include loops and everything... leave those guys if they are pullin' that stuff... you should get no less than 1.544 Mbps if ya got a t1 and your latency to my server should be like 30 ms - Damon You leasing that line from USWEST?
