Feedback regarding my speed on 28 February 2007, 7pm, Fairview, Quezon City, PHI. No tweaking done yet

Thank you for the warm welcome, overboost, and for taking time out to post me a workaround! Yes, that is me (and I did get your PM over there, too)! I will try your tip this weekend, perhaps, or at the soonest available time I have (you know, of course, that it I'd be able to do it anytime on the Mac, which I would rather, than if I were to go through it on a PC) =============================================================== (oh, by the way, it's sis)

Having gone through threads 1-11, I am posting this now, a SmartBro subscriber since Dec06, from Fairview, Quezon City, PHI. My speedtest below should tell you I am green with envy at having to bear with an average of 204-240kbps (D/L) where most of those who have benefitted from tweaks have boosted theirs to as high as 400kbps. :::.. testmy.net test results ..::: Download Connection is:: 240 Kbps about 0.24 Mbps (tested with 386 kB) Download Speed is:: 29 kB/s Upload Connection is:: 250 Kbps about 0.3 Mbps (tested with 579 kB) Upload Speed is:: 31 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net (Server 1) Test Time:: 2007/02/24 - 10:40pm D-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-ANVW0KCEP U-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-NJ9SUBG8R User Agent:: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/418.9.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/419.3 [!] I have tried elijhpaul's tweak page for Canopy. Unfortunately, I think the step-by-step, as well as other softwares like cFOsSpeed, are for PC (I am on a Mac laptop). May I request help for Mac settings please? I can't see my Canopy software anywhere (Yes, the antennae is a Motorola). Btw, I do have to say that one of the advantages of being on SmartBro is that the signal stayed on after the devastating Taiwan quake in January07 when most cabled/wired providers were totally down, save for a few moments of lag as a result of sites being accessed which were affected by the quake, and not because of the server being down at all. The only other time we lost signal was for a few hours in early Feb07 when the base station to which our antennae was pointing was down. However, SmartBro's customer service leaves much to be desired (it has become quote legendary). Thank you for TMN, overboost and for fellow Pinoys who started and maintained the thread. Isn't it nice to show the world that we have such service no matter how erratic? Cheers!
