can i  those pings ...

anyways. i dont know where to start, what to ask  ..

so i'll be  :grin2: if one of you help me out of this....

been searching this site(and speedtest.net) for almost two days to know my actual speed. i've done numerous D/U tests till now. and every time i do the test i'm in shock to see the results. today the results were

Down : 540kb/s

up : 300kb/s

my adv connection speed's are 24mb/s(down) and 820kb/s(up).

i'm able to download below 300kb/s at any time but not more than that. only once i was able to download at a speed more than 900kb/s. and about my upload : yesterday i was able to upload at 80kb/s and today not even crossing 30kb/s.i'm searching for the telephone exchange right now to know the exact distance. i hope i'm in 3.2km radius. even if i'm not in that radius i should be getting better down speeds i guess(better than 300kb/s if not 900kb/s).

that's the summary of my headache. dont know what else i should include in that but ...........

well i did the same ping test and got these results.

congrats shug.

by the way dont know what i did but, my upload reduced to half and download speed stuck below 300kb/s.

have a question. does netcomm's nb5plus4 adsl2+ modem router support higher speed's.(24mbps connection)?

hey shug before i forget : thanks for the help mate.

i'm tired today. its 4am and feeling sleepy. have lot of work 2morrow.  will catch you later. hope my connection gets resolved by then.

shiva1.

more over i've upgraded my comp aswell with necessary updates last week.

anyways .... i'm not feeling bad as of now cause this is the best speed i've experienced till now at home. earlier it used to be 1.5mb/s with a max down speed of 150-160kb/s.

by the way i just checked another test file(googled it just now) so i was downloadin at 320+ for which i'm happy as of now.

but seriously today evening when i was downloading java and few other files it went more than 900kb/s which is almost 1mb/s(half of adv speed). and also i was able to download at speeds more than 300+ in azureus.

:cry: :cry: :cry2: :cry:

100mb in 10min and 30sec

transfer rate : 161KB/s

i've stopped playin halo.... closed all downloads long back.

i've started downloading that file..

it started with 76kB/s and jumped to 150+ and now its stable at 160kB/s which i wont believe.

still 6min to go....  :cry2:

now at 180+ and 5+ min to go.. :cry:

i'm from melbourne.

by the way soon after that i tired it from testmy.net and these are the results...

why is it so different?

k i've checked this site speedtest.net

11/23/2006 4:33 PM GMT "7421 kb/s"  "  550 kb/s" 60 ms Melbourne < 50 mi Hide Linkable Image

so it means download speed is 7421kb/s and upload speed is 550kb/s

so that's connection speed right....

i would like to try downloding that 100mb test file. so from where can i download that file. do you have any link for that??????

it says

download complete

download to : c:doc........jpg

transfer rate :  20.4 KB/Sec

do you think i need to change my browser???????/

one more thing... my upload stats... they are wrong.

i was said that i'll be getting  820kb/s upload connection which means that i can upload at or around 80kb/s so.... adv speeds are

download : 20mb/s

upload : 820kb/s

finally. but it is not true as well. cause i'm able to download with a speed more that 900kb/s so.....

any particular file to download to compare at what speed i'm able to download??

k i've disabled NAV. was running azureus so shut it down.

turned off automatic updates, windows firewall and virus protection aswell.

now i'll go to the internet options once again and delete files including offline.

anyother test mirror........

do i need to disable norton for that......

Sorry, your score of 76802 Kbps is over TestMy.net's max of 60000 Kbps.  It is very doubtful your connection is faster than 60000 Kbps... Please RETEST

Are you running a firewall?  -- Some firewalls may need to be taken down for TestMy.net to work.  After the firewall is taken down your browser may need to be restarted also.

Do you have an internet accelerator or proxy running? -- Some internet accelerators may cause false results when testing at testmy.net.  It's recommended and necessary for you to take down all programs that cache pages.  Note that your connection is the same speed although these programs make your connection appear faster because they precached pages for you.  Pages that have been precached (in other words fetched for you in advance)  are counter productive when you're trying to benchmark what your real line speed is.

now..... dont get me wrong. i'm not lyingi've done what you just said. this is what i got after running the download test. clicked on smart test which starts from smaller file........

k then i'm not changing that. before running the test i'll delete that files once again and give it a go. fingers crossed.......will give my results in a while....

yup i did that and do i need to reduce that amount of disk space to use.....

k under temporary internet files, i've clicked on delete cookies and then delete files(i've ticked the box which says delete offline content). so is that it.....

k i've saved a pic of that insane speed earlier. i want to put that up and add a note sayin... "i tweaked testmy.net site" if only i'm allowed to do so. 

dont take it seriously. will add my actual speed under that one.....

i've one more question? how can i attach my score to my message......

by the way i was browsing few topics up here and came to know that you like ps3. is that so?????

first time : succesfully edited this message.

sorry... am late. been palyin halo till now.

am using IE.

anyways, got it upgraded two days back. because of some issues with the exchange, was unable to connect till today. hope you understood.

arrrgggghhhh.  so its not my actual speed then.

anyways i upgraded my connection speed today and straight away tried it. first it showed it as 2mbps, which is not true.... cause i asked for a 20mbps connection speed. so i tried it after awhile. then it showed me that ungodly, mouth watering speed cause of which i  for a sec and kept looking at that speed for a while. then i tried again with the dual and nothing did change. oooh man, was in wonder land till now.

by the way how do i clear the cache and other's which you mentioned. does that mean i've to delete cookies, files and history?
