Thanks VanBuren! I did also notice that while performing the Download Smartest, that the fast slow condition continued while not connected to my router.. Is there acceptable packet loss % to your address that Adelphia adhere's to, or should it be 0%? Will they try to tell me they can get away with certain percentage of loss? Mahorn

I'll give it a whirl without my router....

VanBuren, Glad to be here, and you have a wonderful site. Here's my results from dslreports: http://www.dslreports.com/speedresults/a85952bbb8ab/1653410 http://www.dslreports.com/speedresults/2a33a7c4c477/1653388 What do you think? Regards, Mahorn

I have Adelphia Cable advertised at 3 Mb/s down and 256 kb/s up. I used to average a steady 3.2 on the download test, but just recently I've noticed a strange phenomenon of what appears to be a "fast - slow - fast - slow", etc... during the test and can only get abound 2.1 and average about 1.8 Mb/s. This appears to be bursting, or something of that nature, and it happens on other test sites as well. Any suggestions? Regards, Mahorn
