Try testing without the router and see what your speeds are. You may need a router firmware upgrade.
Thanks. Will do. I have the latest firware though.

The first two hops shouldn't be timing out. Are you using a router?
yes. I am using a linksys router.

I tried one of VanBuren's cablenut tweaks from older version settings files (v2) for 3000/384 connection, but I noticed no change in speeds myself..
What/whose setting do you use now? And how is your speed performance vs advertised speed?
-
-
Tried Vanburen setting V7, TCP Optimizer auto setting and setting caclulated from http://www.j79zlr.com/cablenutXP2k.php and I am stuck at 3.1mgbs on average.
-
Here is the Cablenut website, in case you haven't downloaded the program.. Here are VanBuren's v7 settings files as well..
Is there any value I need to calculate (e.g latency Rwin etc..) other than simply installing cablenut and choose Vanburen cable ccs setting 6000/384 and apply and restart PC?
-
Here is the Cablenut website, in case you haven't downloaded the program.. Here are VanBuren's v7 settings files as well..
Applied those settings and NO CHANGE!! Test at this site http://nitro.ucsc.edu/ actually gives me speeds below 1 mbps.
-
Have you tried cablenut and its tweaks yet?
I am going to try out cablenut tonight.

I called Comcast regarding the same issue. Couldn't do a thing about it. They just referred me to this site. I am supposed to get 6 Mbps but I am only getting 3.1 Mbps. I have done speed test at least at 6 different sites, multiple times. All reporting between 3000-3400 Kbps. I used TCP Optimizer for tweaks and I regularly run checks for malicious program with 8 different virus and spyware programs. i really don't know where to go from here.
-
give this a try.. some of the users here rave about it.. http://www.download.com/Sygate-Personal-Firewall-Pro/3000-10435_4-10238422.html?tag=lst-0-10
-
I use Zone Alarm (free edition) and have no speed problems. Do you have the latest version? I've heard some people have been having speed problems with certian versions.
-
NAT is not a true firewall... all that it does is block incomming requests that the router doesnt know where to route.. so it will block some popups.. Hackers can still get though it.. as soon as you forward a port.. NAT is no longer a "firewall"
-
I answered my won question I guess, my router is the Linksys BEFSR41 . THIS IS FROM LINKSYS WEBSITE:
" BEFSR41 EtherFast
-
I did RWIN tweak , run ccleaner and uninstalled Zone Alarm and voila! speed was back to 3.6mbps. I installed Zone Alarm back and speed went down to 1.8mbps. Now I know who the culprit is. My question is do I have to live with this compromise or are they any other FREE firewall that I can use that won't have the same effect on speed?? If there are no free firewall then which one should I buy? I am connected thorough Linksys router (BTW,doesn't linksys routers have built-in firewall?).

Read through this thread: https://testmy.net/topic-2097

I would power cycle the modem.. That would be unplug it for 10 min and then plug it back in.. I am almost positive that you should be getting the 4Mbps upgrade no questions asked... You might have not got the new update for the modem..
-
welcome to the forum DVDIT
its also possible your old modem is the cause of the low speed

My Comcast speed is on average1.4Mbps download &
Comcast Speed will not surpass 5.5 dl
in Make it Faster...

I am going to hold off from doing any changes for a couple of days. My speed have greatly improved.
:::.. Download Stats ..:::
Connection is:: 6661 Kbps about 6.7 Mbps (tested with 5983 kB)
Download Speed is:: 813 kB/s
Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (server2)
Test Time:: Tue Sep 27 18:33:33 EDT 2005
Bottom Line:: 119X faster than 56K 1MB download in 1.26 sec
Diagnosis: Awesome! 20% + : 54.01 % faster than the average for host (Comcast.net)
Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-TBGH1Y8DZ
But on average my speed now is around 4300Kbps.
