mobbdeep1122

Same thing here in Philly. I used to always get 0.7mbps(around 85-86kbps) until yesterday when it doubled to 1.5 or better. I'm getting around 189-190kbps now (or around 1.8mbps I believe)

I'm on Comcast cable so I don't require a username/password. The main issue is I'm not receiving packets, I don't know if its a firewall preventing me or what--but I uninstalled ZoneAlarm just in case, but it hasn't helped. Everytime I try and connect to 192.168.1.1 it just times out.

I upgraded my firmware this morning, all was well, then I made the mistake of doing a hard reset on my router. Since I've done that, it hasn't worked. I'm now directly connected to my modem so I can try to find help. The problem is, something is preventing me from receiving packets. I thought it was my firewall, so I uninstalled ZoneAlarm--nothing. I have it set to obtain an IP address automatically. I've tried releasing/renewing my IP. I really don't want to buy another router so hopefully someone can help me. Thanks.

Cool--thanks for the info...any word when it will be released?

Yeah thats what I was thinking too---hopefully Comcast comes out with some plans in the future that cater more towards upload....

Hey guys, I'm on the 6mbps/384kbps plan and I'm thinking about upgrading to the 8/768kbps to hopefully get a better upload. During the day, I'm in the 80-90kbps range, at night time , anywhere from 35-80kbps upload. Is it worth it to make the upgrade? I'm trying to get my upload over 100kbps, but I haven't really seen them type of scores from Comcast.

Just a little update: I want to explain my setup real quick, I have a router with 2 computers on it, and my Playstation 2 hooked up. Like I said earlier, my speeds tend to drop around 4:00 and last until 11:00, then they go back to normal(750kb/s download, 90kb/s upload) Yesterday, I was the only one home and using only my computer--my speeds stayed consistent all night long. Some might say coincidence, but now I'm led to believe that the other computer is the problem. I've run spyware tests and anti-virus scans and cleaned it out, and its fine--so I'm wondering if maybe my router is not good enough?(Linksys BEFSR81) because I just find it hard to believe that the speeds can drop that significantly just because another person is surfing the internet. Thoughts?

I'm having issues keeping my upload speed consistent. In the morning/late at night--I'm steadily between 85-90 kbps. During the afternoon and evening, that number gets sliced in half to 45 or sometimes dips below 40. I ran every a bunch of different spyware and virus removers, got rid of the spyware which helped a little bit, but its still inconsistent. Is there anything I can do or am I just a victim of peak time hours killing my speed? If anyone has any advice to keep my upload consistent at 85-90 I would greatly appreciate it. I'm on a router too, btw.

Hey guys, back again with another problem--hope you kind folks can help me again! During the day(9am-3pm) my ping times are great.... From 3pm-10pm they start to become very slow and inconsistent -- really starting to bug me because I need good ping times for my online gaming on Playstation 2. I am setup through a router(Linksys BEFSR81) and my Comcast modem model # is CXC250. Heres my latest tracert: Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] © Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

Cool, hopefully things stay consistent. Thanks again for all of your help guys. If I run into any problems, I'll be back to break stones

So, the modem is the problem? By the way, I ran ONE MORE test--this time with my router setup (Linksys BEFSR81) at 10:20am EST Again, speeds look good--but on the first hop of the tracert, things are not. :::..

Its connected using ethernet. PS--the router is so unstable--says 'Local Area Connection--Network cable is unplugged" every 10 minutes....any tips on how to stop that? Its a D-Link DI-604 I'm on Windows XP Home SP 2 My old router was a Linksys BEFSR81 and it never was unstable like that--it was just really slow. Thanks for the help so far.

It came with the latest firmware(3.51) and it was unstable--I tried an older version of the firmware to see if there would be a difference, but there isn't really.
