    VAN Burden help need! DSL & Slower than Ads.

    in HELP! With Tests

    Posted

    Hi, I need some help from van burden.. I have DSL connection that Advertise at 8mb/sec but It's not even half of what they advertised. I tried couple tweaks from cablenuts and speedguide tweak program but It made it slower. Any idea? I am currently located in U.K but also tried test through U.K server but it was nearly close as test from the U.S server. Last time Van burden helped me with awesome tweak for my cable connection in U.S.. now I need your help again VAN!

    Thanks,

    As you can see my speeds drop to only 33.41% of my host.  but when im directly connected to my modem i usually run over 100% of my host.  So im wondering if anyone could help me out?  my router is a netgear WGT624

    You are right.. router does slow down to hell.. My test result came increased over X2 after my wireless router is been removed + Van burden's tweak.

    Don't get me wrong, I have streamload account near 1TB of Games, Softwares, musics, movies..etc that I've been upload for past year.. Uploading is stlil important but I just rather have faster DL speed. People has different taste u know.. If u consider upload more important than DL.. that's cool too.. but I just think DL is more important to me than UL.. Just because I download A LOT..

    Sounds good.  It might be that it is only a temporary thing, maybe some work being done locally.  I doubt that it is a permanent speed but you may have it for a while.  Enjoy it while you can I guess, and it ain't broke so don't try to fix it, ya know?  :ar15:

    haha.. Hopefully It's permanent! :) If it's only a temporary, I rather not want it because It's really hard going back from super fast to just fast... ya know.. I originally planned to subscribe premium for only 1 month since cost me $85 / mo but addicted to premium speed..lol

    That is a very amazing RR premium speed.  Are you running any internet optimizers?  Also, what modem do you have?  That's by far the fastest RR speed I've ever seen.

    Here is my story,

    I've been had road runner service for about 4 yrs now. I was never disappointed with my regular road runner service, It was always fast enough for me but one day, I was just randomly surfing web and landed on www.sc.rr.com and they were offering new service called 'premium' which they advertise twice faster than what I had for $35. It was really tempting, It's not like my connection was slow or anything but I decide to try it for month and see how fast it premium is.. Well, RR told me that It's activate now and you should tell difference and told me to test on couple sites.. At First, It was BIG DISAPPOINTMENT.. I couldn't tell any difference than my regular service.. I download couple random file well maybe it was little fast but nothing closed to 8MBIT as what they offering. I calld RR back and explained there's not much different and they asked me what kind modem I have and I told them that I have old TOSHIBA modem that RR installed on my computer about 4 yrs ago. Road Runner tech support told me that my modem is way too old to support premium service and they offered me decent TOSHIBA modem aka PCX 2500 so next day I went to Time Warner and got my new PCX2500. I rushed into my house and installed and test couple bandwidth test from testmy.net. I finally getting improvement. I believe I was getting about 650Kbps. It was still slower than what road runner advertised but I was ok wit it. After few days later I post the thread on here asking help from VAN BURDEN. He replied back few hours later and told me about speedguide.net registry tweaks and also sent me a cablenut tweak files. After all those tweaks from VAN. Connection greatly improved to 920Kbps.. I believe VAN or RR told me to try connect modem directly into your computer (not passing through router) and disable firewall, virus scan..etc and see what happenes.. I was able to test with firewall off but I never took my wireless router out because my brother had laptop and he was using wireless internet so I never really run test without the router... Well, My brother left U.S to visit home country month ago and I no longer using wireless router and also recently, My girl friend's computer won't receive any signal from her router at home so I told her to take my router out and told her to test it.. then after that I immediately ran test and got over twice improved result.. and that's how this thread got started first place because I was so in shocked and couldn't believe how not passing through router could increase my speed.. Sorry about my long story with road runner.. but that's what really went down and It still fast as last night... I just hope I get same speed but I still want to find out that does my connection gotten faster because of I took the router out? or It could be something else? I know for sure now, It's not the cached test.. If someone has explaination I would appericiated.

    Yea,your upload is fine because RR premium is 8000/512 and your getting about 492 Kbps which is fine.The only thing im curious is how your download doubled by going directly to modem,I believe you now that yours is not cached but that is a huge jump the past 2 days :haha:

    BTW where are u located at?

    I located in columbia s.c. so you don't think there's nothing to do with router? It used to be connected through router but now it's directly connected from cable modem -> my PC. I think there something in my router was blocking the speed.. But not for sure.. All i know is after I directly connect from cable modem -> PC.. that/s when speed jumped amazinly

    Ok, here is 2 tests..  It wasn't fastest like last night but still a lot faster than when by pass the router. Like I said, When I download large file that I've never download before as Test, Speed stuck at around 2.5Mb/s +. Which cannot be cached.. this is just amazing..

    maxboost7 Unless  your cap is 16Mbps  then it is a cached test.I'm not saying it is intentionally cached but this is the only way that you can get that speed.If it is your cap & its 20% or so over the cap.then it is correct.I can take dialup & cache a test faster but like you say whats the point.If you don't know how to do a cached test how do you know your not doing one.

    Ok, Please explain this.. All I did was took router out then ran the test.  but with router which I tested last night I was getting about 920kbs then I didn't touch anything then my computer was on all night all day till today as now..  and there was no RESTART and nothing was changed what so ever. Tell me what was different from last night test and today test? How does all the sudden become cached test when nothing hasn't changed. I am not mad or anything, If i am wrong I just want to know and learn.. Also I have Net Meter and I looked at it while test was processing DL: 2.6MB/s + It was going up and up? does that mean anything? I just wants to know why my result was super improved when there's nothing was changed? Why test become cached test automatically when only router is been removed? How do I change this to normal test? If I am getting cached test result.

    Thanks anyway  ;)

    P.S I just download random files and downloading at around 2.5MB/sec. Thing I don't get it is.. I never download this file before so This can't be cached right? which concludes speed did increased because I never could download at this high speed.. max i've got was 1.0 MB/S

    I meant,maybe Time warner is testing out new speeds and your like one of the first to get it thats all i said :(

    I see, that could be possible but I pray that I keep getting same speed as right now..

    Back then,. I was just little mad that I was being accused lying.. I was all excited after getting unbelieveable result without changing option or anything so I was rush to share the story then u know..  I was just posting whatever I got from the result.. I don't even know how to test using cached or whatever.. but it's all good :)
