OMG this tweaking stuff is getting me addicted to it once i get a higher speed i crave to make it more faster! 

@Azgauth: Have you tried visiting the site of your network hardware manufacturer for latest driver updates? I had to manually download mine!

Updating Network Drivers 101:

1.) right-click the icon and open network connections

2.) choose your lan card and right-click and select properties

3.) on the generals tab click configure you can view your land card properties by now

4.) select driver tab and click update driver

is that really you in your avie? i think you didn't answer me before. that girl looks familiar to me, looks like a model i've seen before.

I'm a lot more prettier than the avie you can visit my hubby's friendster if you like! He's just very strict on me posting my pics! Seloso eh! 

you're not making me envious, are you?

(hindi ka naman nang-iinggit nyan?)

He He He! Well before I was so desperate having a 220-250kbps, After following the 20 steps My world changed!  And i owe it to yah guys for helping us fellow smartBro users to keep up the pace! Well I guess I was very lucky to find the 2 right settings for me along with your other insights on the tweaking stuff, updating things and most importantly CLEANING! He He He! 

yes, line of sight is a big factor in stability. having the latest driver will ensure that your hardware will work better, so it is also helps in having a good connection.

thanks for clarifying my insight on updating my network drivers! azgauth you should update yours too! 

remember that smartbro is wifi, which is the main reason for fluctuating speeds.(it is also their main alibi for crappy connection)

Indeed true, I guess I should be thankful for not going below 400kbps even during traffic hours! 

@fr0stbound: Just a figure of speech if you would consider it! Awoo Awoo 

@fr0stbound: well just wondering if multiple base stations affect! but then again its a matter of line of sight! I was also wondering does updating network drivers help?

yeah really weird I also experienced weird stuff after getting a speed test result of 500+  I can still download a stable 80kb/s

@Azgauth: smartBro Burst Burst And Away 

After a quick cleaning of junk!

Used openDNS this time

she was saying.... she was in the center of multiple base stations does it have an effect? Jeeez maybe I should relocate to a place with multiple base stations too! 

@fr0stbound: I get that msg too before the "error on my portal". Question is why do we get to login from time to time when we visit the portal 'coz before after they've installed my smartbro I didnt get the USERNAME and PASSWORD thingy! I asked the technician "Do I have to Log in every time I go to smartbro's portal? he said No it's just a 1 time Log in you will never get the log in page after this" and duh now i'm wondering....... why I have to log in every time I view the portal 

If you changed your canopy setting with:

does it give you a speed of 500-600 Kbps, just got it from a blog and shows her tests at a stable 500+Kbps up without merely tweaking with cablenut or tcp optimizer. the subscriber is a smartbro plan999 also.

@coolbuster2007: I'm confused 

Isn't my host:201.78 not from smartbro? I've only used the openDNS a while ago and I didn't used openDNS from my previous speedtests. Maybe theres a problem in my smartBro portal cause when I view the portal it asks me for my USERNAME and PASSWORD which before didn't occur.

Heres the error msg:

Does this error connect from my canopy which don't have an administrator password?

@fr0stbound: Tried the openDNS and works fine than the DNS from SmartBro! Browsing was more faster! Gotta test If speed increased. I still don't know if i'm using a proxy or not! How can i check if i'm using a proxy? And If i'm not using a proxy how can I obtain a proxy?

@fr0stbound: Awoo Awoo 

      I saw a section in the forum that changes your DNS to open DNS but still haven't tried it! I'm still confused 'bout the proxy and DNS thingy! Could someone kindly elaborate a little more about it! 

@fr0stbound: nope I still don't change those settings! Still reading  about it!
