Wow, i dont know what to say. That is some serious BS from DW youve had to put up with...If they promise 1.5Mbps, they should either give it, or dont promise a specific speed. I saw on their site that they offer 1.5mbps on their buisness site, but on that same page it says 1000kbps. I dont suppose 1000 = 1500.

Oh and here is another thing i digged up on their site:

"It

Usually, IPS's testing sites download small files, which using boost, will turn out to be a bit higher than your actuall speed. for example, verizons site says i have 1.6megs downloading a 500K file. Here i get 1.3-1.4 downloading 1000KB. My boost speed gives it an additional .2mbps. Im not sure why you drop down to 1.1 though. Try turning off your modem, thats all i could think of for now.

Wow great speeds, fastest i got on your server Van

:::.. Download Stats ..:::

Connection is:: 1292 Kbps about 1.3 Mbps (tested with 2304 KB)

Download Speed is:: 158 KB/s

Tested From:: http://www.testmy.net/

Bottom Line:: 23 times faster than 56K you can download 1MB in 6.48 second(s)

Like I said, go on MSN, aim, Email, or simply PM him.

Its actually more lol, but i havent seen too many 56k'ers on the forums so i dont think that'll be a problem . Im not wasting bandwidth either. Verizon doesnt give me a bandwidth quota so i couldnt care less.

Woooooowwww.....

Looks great. I love it! Thanks again lol

Well this whole thread has been flaming and spamming all over. I know I was a part of it, and s1, i am sorry. I shouldnt have exploded like that. I guess i got carried away. But I think this topic should be locked. If you have an issue with somebody else, go on MSN or aim or somewhere else to resolve it. I know i have done what im saying you guys shouldnt, but i regret that now. I just dont want this place to be a place of war.

Sweet, thanks one more time. If you ever need anything, ill try to help you out.

I know the Westell 2200 modem comes with a built in firewall. As far as i can tell, verizon sends out all modems with built in firewalls (atleast my friends got them). They are sending out Versalink modems now and they should have firewalls. Most Routers come with firewalls i think.

As for the firewall, you get free subscritpion to McAfee. Thats a firewall and virus protection (you dont have to have both). Its been great so far. I even uninstalled norton now.

Sorry, it was cached and you cant access them other than from that site itself

I zipped them for you, #'s 1-3 are the ones i want in there and #4 is the optional one. You can resize them since they are way too big lol. Thanks again Cobra, wish i knew how to operate Photoshop as good as you .

Cable companies tend to do that

I wasnt addressing you personally. Maybe youre a lucky one and your isp doesnt do that, but then again, you had 250MB on hotmail for 6 years now ...

[insert more xxxxxxxxxx here]

I think you know exactly what I meant, unless you truly are a xxxxxxxxxx. DSL offers unlimited access as in you wont ever go over the limit of downloading or uploading too much, unlike with Cable.

Cable companies tend to do that when you waste too much bandwidth. Youre limited on cable unlike with DSL which is unlimited.

That might be it also . Wish i had OOL's 10mbps plan , than would own.

Hehe, its still faster than mine.

One thing i would like to say is that im not saying Cable is worse than DSL. Most cable services are way faster than my dsl, but they arent available for me. One isp i considered was OOL, but i cant get it. There are many pro's and con's to dsl and cable, but for me dsl was the best way to go.

The first disadvantage is that cable is an RF network -- this means that it is vulnerable to transient problems "within the network" from RF interference. Since cable is a shared media, there is a possibility that performance may degrade over time as additional households plug in, connect additional devices (videos, game machines etc.) to the TV lines.

A cable company may react slowly to decreases in performance if it reacts at all, as they never sell access by speed, or promise consistent speed or latency.

Another of the disadvantages of cable over DSL is the upstream (return path). Cable companies are using a very narrow band for return signalling, and this is positioned below all the space allocated for TV channels. This band is prone to RF interference and is very limited in capacity. Upstream transmissions may therefore compete with others in the area, get delayed (suffer high latency) due to noise fighting techniques, and cable TOS (Terms Of Service) typically prohibit any kind of constant upstream use. Internet use is shifting away from central servers broadcasting to many individuals and some interesting peer to peer applications are appearing (games, voice and video applications, communal libraries). These applications need a strong upstream channel.

In summary, cable modems are currently good value and strong competition for residential casual use, often available more cheaply and far faster than their ADSL competition. However, DSL is probably the more future-proof system, offering digital direct from the internet infrastructure. If your DSL ISP is on the ball, your performance in either direction will not be different from peak hour to early morning, and DSL lines are available for a wide variety of purposes, both business and residential.

Read that Mr. xxxxxxxxxx

Cable companies forbid any sort of constant upstream usage

So if you use alot, there are 2 ways they can deal with you, either make you pay for all that overused bandwidth, or start to slow you down.

this is my upload now...... it sucks....... poop on it! Yeah my ISP capepd me lower. I think its because i was sharing files on bit torrent and stuff. I don't know . Shitty thing is my download was capped lower too. Either that' date=' or someone else in my area got cable and they are stealing my bandwidth! ORRRR......... all this spyware is shittying of my connection!!!!!! ORRRR.......... BOOOO dammit!!![/quote']

Hehe

No such thing.

There is unmetered, where they give you alot but you cant use too much, there is no point in that since they limit you anyways. Might aswell tell you what you get and dont get...

It is possible to get speeds that high but that is only on your first hop. And also when you download fron another 56k user, i found that the speeds were higher. The fastest ive been able to download was 6-7kbps and that was when i had MSN dialup like 4 years ago.

56 Kbps is 6.84 KB/sec <-- and thats if you are using 100% which barely ever happens. The typical fast for 56k would be 40-45kbps (45 Kbps is 5.49 KB/sec) and the average would be 35 Kbps is 4.27 KB/sec.

10kbps is still understandable but 20 is a no, no.

150 Kbps is 18.31 KB/sec

150 is nowhere near 56

EDIT: There was this guy once who said his compression software made his speeds go really fast. I know for a fact that AOL uses compression software. Maybe thats why you such a high test score? Even though CA3LE said its not possible to compress it even more, i think the software can lol.

Are you sure? Works fine for me

all right, cool. ive stopped updating my site because im waaaay too busy, so u wont see something like that on it. also, ive never been too good with requests where the person doesnt really mind what the sig is about, so u should probably give me an idea of what u want on it.

Something Final Fantasy like

Final Fantasy 9 preferably

What i could like is these three images fused together somehow

http://psi-square.sinfree.net/ff9/images/garnet04.jpg

and if possible : http://psi-square.sinfree.net/ff9/images/zidane02.jpg in there too

I dont know if its possible though..

Thanks again

You can change it you know.

Go into BIOS and there is an option there for video, i think the options are 64, 32 and 1. I put it on 1.

Hey Cobra, if you wouldn't mind, could ya make me one too? I dont really care what its on as long as its funny or cool like yours lol. And if you do decide to make it, you can put the URL to your site on it too

Thanks

So i will get higher pings with the newer, faster service?

One again, sorry for offtopic
