  1. I reset my router and even unplugged it for a good 30 seconds. Everything seems to be the same. I haven't tried to plug another device to the modem (such as a Windows Vista desktop), but I think that it could still be my modem that's causing this because I didn't buy it from the store, it was given to me when I ordered my cable service.
  2. I just downloaded and ran the TCP optimizer. I set the speed to 15Mbps, modify all adapters, selected the optimize radio button, and saved the settings. After rebooting it, I tested my speed and it game me the same results. There's a lot of settings on the TCP optimizer, are there other tweaks I should be applying?
  3. Sure, From testmy.net: Download 6.7 Mbps (835 kB/s) with 50MB file. Upload 1.8 Mbps (221 kB/s) with 17.5MB upload. From Time Warner Cable website: Speed Test 14.5 Mbps Download/ 1.78 Mbps Upload. I'm running under Windows XP and my router is a Netgear Wireless Router. I have Road Runner internet in Southern California (Los Angeles area), and my plan says I have 15Mbps Download / 2Mbps Upload. The Speed Tests I take online say I have around 14-15Mbps, but when I download a file or stream a video, I get around 6Mbps. The testmy.net results have been the most accurate results I've gotten. Why am I getting these different results and how can I get my "real" downloading speed I'm paying for? Thanks in advance.
  4. Hey guys I have a question here. I recently got cable internet that goes up to 15Mbps in download speed. Anyway, when play a video, I can barely even watch it, and that's right after I tested the connection speed of 14Mbps. So, I tried the bandwith test here and got back a result of about 500KB/s. When I had DSL at 5Mbps, it went about 600KB/sec (which makes sense), now that I have this cable internet that's faster, the download speed is slower!? Is there anything that has to be done to get the real speed? I'm testing at 14Mbps but only downloading at a rate of 500kb/s? and again, my 5Mbps DSL was faster than this??
