Well I was looking for a 16 or 32freq eq like you'd find in a professional sound installations I have a hardware one but at the time I thought a software one would be cooler ha

Oh of course all I meant was I support your belief that they have something going on cause if I could do all that you shouldn't have had any problems

I never could find anything. Like that when I was running hackintosh either

I downloaded 2 torrents Lastnight at around 3.5MB/s and was uploading at 150kb/s and streaming netflix all while people in another room were playing games with a very stable 60ms ping to a Texas server on my 50meg connection I don't see why your experience should be different

Lol clear the the. Memory eh?

Lol something like that something a lot of people don't know is it can have pretty icons and doesn't have to just be a black terminal window

Linux is simple just not consumer friendly lol

I'm not arguing with you about that... however flash is still very widely used especially for videos etc all I was doing was giving my personal opinion about the IOS operating sys and why I won't own an iphone

My server is currently running cent os 5 and hasn're rebooted since the day I purchased it

I don't really care for iOS why keep flash player from customers that is all I have to say lol

The build quality of apple computers is definitely higher then your typical pc but I prefer to build my own mac rigs so I get exactly what I want in it

40/20 through who?

Rain before fireworks is a good thing

I worked all day on fathers day I had to work a double shift. How lame right? But I'm taking my dad to the white chocolate grill tonight

i usually don't download .exe's unless they're from reliable sources, .zips are much safer

yeah, prior to my issue i never really had a major problem but i'm glad its sorted out now

lol yes i was comp'd 2 free months of service which are still in effect and i plan to, i have the phone # for the last tech who visited i plan on calling him and thanking him and then calling the regional mgr and telling them how unhappy i am that it took so long to fix. this last tech replaced fittings that he said looked fine but he replaced them anyways and thats all he did

and all my co-workers and my friends already know about this site haha i always tell them to test here

i think my internet is finally fixed, after cox tech #8 visited my house i've finally got a stable connection and my signals still look pretty good.

persistence is key, it's taken me a little over 3 months now to get my internet fixed, a lot of hours on the phone and 8 techs and 3 maintenance techs visiting my house / neighborhood.

i've had a stable connection for the last 4 days and my signals are below

also these speeds are over my wifi connection, wired i'm sure the stats will be even better

thanks for all the help and tips

another thing to remember is when torrenting or using any P2P software not only are you downloading, but uploading aswell. just because comcast says you have a 20Mbit down and 2Mbit up link does not mean you can achieve both max's at the same time, its really one or the other. so if your downloading at 1.5Mb/s and its not going any higher it could also be because your uploading at 150-200Kb/s which would be where the rest of your bandwidth is going so technically your connection is maxing out just not all on the downstream

edit: btw i see my max all the time on torrents like CA3LE said, i usually have to have somewhere in the ballpark of 1500 connections going to achieve that though

oh yeah and telehouse london is offering colo 1Gbps link for £1500/month not sure what they charge for the rack space etc though

http://www.swiftway.co.uk/ wants £1000/month for their unmetered 1Gbps

CA3LE are you looking for a company that rents out dedicated servers, or are you looking for a place you could colo a server of your own?

because a quick search has brought up a few places that offer 1000Mbps links but i just wanted a little clarification before i look further

edit:

so far i've found a couple of options, lol unmetered 1Gbit isn't cheap let me tell you lol

http://www.eukhost.com/ is offering umetered 1Gbps at £2999/month

http://www.seedboxsales.co.uk is offering unmetered 1Gbps at £165/month and they even have 10Gbps starting at £800/month

not really sure how their network is or what datacenter they are in lol bandwidth seems more expensive in the UK than here at least from what i've seen

http://www.webhosting.uk.com/ is only £4000/month for their unmetered 1Gbps oh yeah thats just for the uplink not inlcuding the server hosting costs lol

Hi, JPsDad

Welcome to Testmy.net

piggybacking off your neighbors wifi, i'm assuming you have permission. you'll probably never be able to accurately gauge the speed since you don't know his current package and what he or people in his household may be doing while your testing, they could be downloading movies or streaming netflix for all you know

in regards to the NIC question, having the correct drivers can make all the world of difference. it sounds like the drivers installed for the card on your PuppyLinux installation are probably not optimal. vs the drivers used for your TP-link card seem to be working well. so there are probably some issues with the driver for the IPW2200 card. i've actually ran into an issue like this with windows 7 and an old WMP54G internal wifi card. the driver installed by windows 7 worked but it did not allow the computer to download over 200kb/s, i looked online and it was a common issue since the card is so old and linksys has discontinued support/drivers for it however realtek who made the chipset have been developing drivers for it for windows 7 and had a working version that i was able to use and get the full speed out of the card

*drools* i want fiber to my house!

RTB that sounds like an amazing tool that I would frequently use

IMy droid is fine 252 hours of uptime so far and I was just at 22 hours between a charge and still at 46%
