Azgauth

how? I believe Im already in contact with the best (uh whut?) base station available... my canopy reads abot 0.2 miles from a base station, jitter of about 1-2 and RSSI of about 1220... the next color code sports a jitter of 3-4 and rssi of about 600-700...

my friend told me that AntiVir is the best anti-virus right now... is it better than Avast?

nope! i flushed a total of about 4 or 5 wares but my speed's still slow... btw, im using a combo of avast, spyware terminator and comodo firewall... According to my geek friend, right now I have a Virus Obliterator PC. But still slow net speed...

@azgauth

were those malwares and worms detected only when you installed avast?

you have a similar case with lapako, one of tmn members, with regards to speed. truly, viruses, tojans and spywares slow down your speed. i advised him to back up personal files and installers, then contact a technician to reformat his pc.

i recommend you do the same. 

@ SiraComputer

VLC Player is an excellent freeware. the adware might have overwritten Azgauth's Video Lan and make it appear as a legitimate program.

yep! The viruses appeared after i've installed avast...

I really dont see anything wrong w/ my VideoLAN player so i'm thinking twice bout uninstalling it. Its my only video player (aside from Window Media Player, of course...)

I'll think i'll reformat my PC this coming sembreak after im done with my thesis book. I dont wanna lose any important file... hehehe!

So far,my speeds are...

How great... is my net! sing with me how great....

I dont see any problems with mine either... might as well keep it. And the search for "What-makes-my-net-speed-f*cking-damn-slow" continues.... oh well...

this speed after scanning, erasing 4 malawares and worms, ew tweaking my cablenut and using avast, comodo firewall and spyware terminator.... am I cursed?

btw, VideoLAN is a video player for those non AVI and wmv files... do you really think it affects my speed? Im thinking twice bout uninstalling it...

@Azgauth

i think i found the culprits.

i suggest you look for other anti virus and anti spyware programs. uninstall your traffic shaping software.

A. during startup, the perfect trio which should be running :

1) avast

2) spyware terminator

3) comodo firewall pro

they're freeware.

B. during speedtests, only these should be running:

1) avast

2) comodo firewall pro

3) internet explorer/firefox

nothing else.

oh btw. in case you have installed, check back your cablenut adjuster setting coz cFosSpeed might have changed a value or two.

just try and you will see the difference. 

thanx... i'll try to post my speed afterwards...

anyone knows how to "tweak" this prizm?

they're free trials...

That's all i could find at the start up menu> all programs...

ok dude... for a while...

please post all softwares installed in your PC. let's start from there. 

uhm, how can I do that? where could i find, copy and paste all my progs installed?

your still lucky dude! look at mine...

its hopeless... i wish coolbuster could come to my house and personally check my settings... huhuhu!

after saving the new cablenut settings, it is recommended to restart the computer for the settings to take effect.

im like in 7th hell... my average speed never goes above 150kbps eben on off peak hours... ive done tweakin ang cleanin and defragin etc... but nothing happens... help please?

is this one big joke?

@Azgauth - you have reached 350+ Kbps before?

yup! i did, it went regular on that speed for awhile but it stayed for only 2 days...

my air delay states that the base station is about 0.2 miles (about 1400 feet) from me but how come my regular speed ranges from only 70kbps-250 kbps...

(tweaks included)

BTW. whats PRIZM ?

i have a jitter of 2 and RSSI of about 1220 but i still egt low scores... and uhm how can I know how far is my base station?

im having worse speeds tonight. not even above 100kbps... tsss

base stations broke again...

im havin really slow speeds right now... 15kbps-56kbps... ouch! am i on a dial-up? anybody experiencing this too?

I also do it on a regular basis... as in everytime I turn my pc on... is that bad?

thanks for clarifyng. I think viruses also come from anti-virus companies in order for their new version to be sold. hehe!
