hey everybody its been a while since ive last posted but im proud to say that insight has made me happy for once, they upgraded at no extra fee to 10/1 service... tonight was the first time i actaully achieved these scores, im not sure if its because of the optimizer or what but here are the new scores compared to the 4/.5 that i used to get :::.. testmy.net test results ..::: Download Connection is:: 10468 Kbps about 10.47 Mbps (tested with 12160 kB) Download Speed is:: 1278 kB/s Upload Connection is:: 941 Kbps about 0.9 Mbps (tested with 1496 kB) Upload Speed is:: 115 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net (Server 1) Test Time:: 2006/12/04 - 2:21am D-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-E9WXJCT40 U-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-DHI92VWAL User Agent:: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) [!] pretty impressive for no extra cost. take care

thanx for the advice. yea im gonna get something moving here, i mean i know they dont intend it to be this way but after me complaining so much ya would think they would fix it or payback or something.... i never thought about fighting my way up the food chain lol, maybe thats what i need, just refuse to talk to anybody that answers the phone, demand to speak to a superior... once again guys, thanx for all the help.

that is one of the big problems here, they are over selling and under providing... im sure they can open enough throughput for our speeds to be @4mb, but im the only person i know that gets that, both my bros carry insight, my girlfrinds folks have it, my old neighbor had it, they just dont provide very well... and its because most users dont know about test pages like this or even care if they are getting the speeds they pay for, as long as its faster than dial up they will gladly pay the 49$ a month... im sure if i can get enough people to make a big stink about it, something will change... i know they are capable of getting us the bandwidth we need because they offer the premium 6mb/down and 512k/up in my area.... so if they are able to offer that to everybody in my area they can damn well give us the advertised speeds... sorry just venting here... have had nothing but problmes with these people, i used to call them i bet an average of 10 times a week for about 3 months, and they tell me that there is nothing wrong with anything... the guy comes out and does his own web testing on my computer gets the same results as i do and still nothing is fixed... wish i lived in a big city, could get verison fiber optics... any idea how well that works for internet gaming??? as compared to cable or dsl. thanx alot guys...

looks like we are getting somewhere now, still not where it was or should be but its definitly getting better. any other ideas or files to try. thanx alot for taking the time to help me... one quick question, do ya know the address for the site that scans your computer for device drivers and gives a list of the ones you need to download, i was there a while back and lost that address as well. once again thanx alot :::..

http://www.insight-com.com/broadbandplus.asp when you scroll down i have just the plain insight broadband 4mb down/384k upload i ran a test without any settings got 1.5mb down used the 4000/384 on cable nut and the speeds vary from 1.0-2.0

is there something im doing wrong fellas... as of a week ago i would get about 4000kbps, now im lucky to get 2000kbps.... should i use the cablenut file that is closest to my advertised speed or what??? i really can not remember which one i used but it was definitly working better than whatever i have now... any ideas on the cablenut program or any other options i should try to get my speed back? thanx alot guys, you all are great.

hi guys i have had no problems of late, but i did reboot my system and i cant find the file i need for teh cablenut program.. can somebody please advise me on which one i need... i have insight broadband connection, just the regular service, not the premium... my usual readings on the site were at 3.8-3.9... now they are about ameg slower... please help. thanx alot fellas

on socom2 lots of people are using things that are called lag switch.. look like this http://www.lagswitch.com/ any ideas on how they work, because i know in the game if you disconnect your ethernet cable you get disconnected, i guess we all just freeze and they can move around and kill us,,,, any idea how to make one, i could buy one but i dont really want one, i just want to have one to maybe use if others are using them, any help would be apprecieated. thanx

hmmm well i guess my router ias a built in switch, i have the linksys BEFSR41... and im not having any problems with ports or anything so buying just a switch prolly wont help me any,,,, sorry guys, didnt know this one has a switch, wouldnt have waisted your time if i knew that

so would it be a good idea to run this for my ps2 or do you think it will not help any? also if it has no firewall then i wont have to worry about port openning for games and such right, everything should be compatable, i will still be able to use my pc and ps2 at the same time? thanx for the help so far.

what is the difference, can i use a switch instead of a router to run my pc and my playstation2???? or does the switch need a router to supply the connection... if i can use this would it be a better idea or will it make no difference, i want the best possible connection to my ps2, im not too worried about the pc speeds are ok there but i lag alot on my ps2, especially socom2.... the cable guy came today and said the signal to my modem was at -15.5 db. which is just out of their limits.... he did a few things not sure what and got the signal to -9.5. which is better i guess.... but now my dl speeds are still crappy. pay for 6mb dl, and get 1.5 mb if im lucky... awesome huh for 79 dollars amonth lol... any input is greatly appreciated.

were you able to get a better performace from your sub/amp setup? or have you got that new amp yet?

that amp that u just mentioned will work alot better than the one you have now...mono block amps are so much better for subs than traditional class a/b circut amps.... the description says it will put out 1500 watts rms 3000 max... boss over rates products so id say you might get 900-1000 watts rms if your lucky but that will definitly be good... do you know how many fuses are in the amp,, that power should have 2 60 amp fuses or more...you can tell how much the amp will put out by taking the accumlated number of amps on the fuses and take that by the power your vehicle is puttin out... prolly 12.5 volts to 14.4v.... so if it has lets say 2 60amp fuse and your car puts out 13.5volts. you can expect 1620watts rms roughly at 1 ohm.... but if it ony has 2 30 amp fuses then 810 watts will be what you get.... if you get this wired up and still are not happy with the sound, more than likely you will need a beter amp... id recommend staying away from jensen, plye. sony, rockford fosgate, pioneer... amps like that, if you need i can refer some better amps that are not overly expensive.... all the ones i just listed really do not put out what they say... RF use to make good amps but nowa days id rate them with sony and others of the such, i have personally tested some of their amps, like the bd1000 againts one of my kicker kx600.1s. the RF just sucked... tested it a while back when i was running kicker L7 solobaics (lets not get started on them lol, over priced hunk of speaker lol) but anyway, for 250 you can get some really good deals online, and can gurentee better performance than the boss amp, but you may like and not have a problem with that boss amp, know a few people that used them and never had problems... and going with 2 amps and 2 subs, is not going to be much of a difference for you, not for the cost needed in getting a bigger high output alternator, a high cold cranking battery, and upgraded power wires... that may also be a problem now, what size wire are you using,,, id recommed 4 gauge.. anything smaller and you are risking a chance that your wire will not be able run the all the necessary power through it,, be kinda like tryin to fit a bouncy ball through a straw if your wire is too small, can heat up and even fry the wire.... grounding is also crutial... make sure the are being grounded to is sanded well no paint between contacts, make as short as possible but leave extra if planning on relocating amp, if not make as short as possible, always use the same size as power cable or bigger.... good luck, just my two cents for now.
