I don't really like the idea of web based apps, besides a few things like webmail, etc. I still prefer to have a copy of the program physically on my computer. I don't really see any advantage in using Word over the net better than using it locally, other than possibly being compatible with more computers and OS's.

That's how long the forums have been around, yes. But the site itself has been around a little longer. I'm not exact;ly sure the start date of the site though. http://web.archive.org/web/*/https://testmy.net

What's your reason for that exact time?

Welcome to the site, danthevan Nice download speed. What are your advertised speeds?

Well there's not much you can do. You could complain to your ISP and have them check it out, but I doubt that would help. Since the problem seems to be in your route to the site, those are the hardest problems to fix.

Well that looks good. It must be a problem with your route to the site.

It looks like it's most likely a problem with your provider. You may want to call them and have them check your signal levels.

Ow. those pings aren't good. [tt]. ICMP (ping) check Minimum ping: 166.77 ms Maximum ping: 258.48 ms Ping stability: 177.68 170.57 213.41 172.93 170.85 258.48 180.40 169.35 166.77 169.45[/tt] Try running a ping and tracert to testmy.net. Start>>Run>>Cmd 'tracert www.testmy.net' Same with ping.

That's not right. You should run a adware and virus check.

Well, I don't know. I guess you'd have to ask your dad who he ordered from. Just curious, where are you now, because your most recent messge has an IP from Comcast? 17 52 ms 46 ms 51 ms c-24-99-xx-xx.hsd1.ga.comcast.net [24.99.xx.xx]

Welcome to the site, revolucionario. Are those your advertised speeds or the speeds you are getting during speed tests. Also read the topics in my sig.

What are your advertised speeds?

Well doing a tracrt to your IP address shows it going though Transedge.

Anything using the 2.4Ghz range could be interfering with it. Microwaves, cordless and sometimes cell phones, or even other routers.

Welcome to the site, Fr0 Read the two topics in my sig. Also are you using a router?

welcome to the site, Sup GAD Are you using a firewall, router and/or running p2p in the background during the test?

Knowing your home LAN address (192.268.x.x wouldn't do him much good. He can't access your LAN. Yes he could see your public internet IP address though.

What about ICQ? I beleive AOL owns them too.

For net access, it probably doesn't really matter. If you want to continue to recieve Windows Updates than you have to upgrade to SP2 otherwise you won't be able to get anymore updates.

I use Y! IM the most. I like it the best over all. Although, I've used MSN a little. Webcams seem faster on MSN. I say meh to AIM and ICQ.

Alright. Take the test at http://www.broadbandreports.com/tweaks

Try testing your speeds without your router. Sometimes the router can cause problems.
