Hello, I just reformatted and now my internet speed is running as crap. I tested once on the download and got 7% of what Optimum Online is supposed to be. I don't know whats wrong so here's all my info hopefully someone can help.
3. What tweaking programs you already have installed, and run this test. Copy all text and paste it in your post! For security reasons, blank out your IP #.
Answer:None, I know how to do certain things on a computer, but these tweaking guides you guys have confuse the hell out of me. Tell me what to do and I will try though.
Checking for Middleboxes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Done
checking for firewalls . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Done
running 10s outbound test (client-to-server [C2S]) . . . . . 888.0kb/s
running 10s inbound test (server-to-client [s2C]) . . . . . . 646.19kb/s
The slowest link in the end-to-end path is a 10 Mbps Ethernet subnet
7. Never Connect to your modem via USB ! Always connect to your modem via ethernet (NIC) and make sure you have the latest drivers for your NIC. Set your NIC duplex mode to 10mb half duplex for Cable, for DSL it depends on the ISP service unless you are using a router, if so then set it to 100mb full duplex for both Cable & DSL. If you are using a router make sure you have the latest firmware.
Answer: I am on a router and it is updated, but I don't get what this duplex is.. How do I change that? Don't know if this affects it, but the router and cable modem is on my mothers computer. I am on a wireless adapter to connect.
15. Go to VanBuren testmy.net Cablenut settings and install Cablenut 4.08 and Vanburens cablenut settings version 9
Answer:Done that, but don't know what file i should use
I used to be running at optimal speed, but then I don't what happened. Was optimal then I went to about 50% before it wasn't that bad so I didn't worry, but now this is ridiculous. When I go to download a program I have to wait a minute sometimes for a file around 5mbs. Definitely wasn't like that before
