Hmmm looks cached to me.

Considering the highest packages are the business at 1.5mb/1.5mb and the radios can only handle 3mb of throughput?

Well I have 0 packet loss on line quality tests with my WISP and I can play PC games online with pings as low as 6-10ms to chicago and I'm in Michigan.

My old Xbox did the same exact thing it was laggy as hell up around 100ms with some packet loss. On my new 360 the online play is excellent with super low pings. Beyond me.

I don't think it's always the ISP's fault

That's a HUGE cap reduction. 20GB's less sucks for the same price..

RUN FAR! FAR AWAY! I don't know anything about the UK area or the  Broadband there... but that just isn't fair. Sounds like they're pretty rude about it also.. Broadband Nazi's.

Off topic.. but here's my tracert over my Wireless internet link here in the Northern part of Michigan to Testmy.net I'd say it's very solid for a 9 mile wireless link and 6 hops to the backbone!

Tracing route to www.testmy.net [67.18.179.85]

over a maximum of 30 hops:

My friend has some dedicated line to his house. It's not a T1 but it's nice 100% reliable and he gets the exact up/down speeds he pays for.

He changed a few settings like MTU and all that to achieve his speeds, but I noticed he changed from half duplex to full duplex mode.

Does that make a difference? How do I know what mine should be at? I don't want to change it and screw something up, but I can't help but be curious 

I disagree. Because a murderer writes children's books doesn't make he a born again saint. It doesn't right any wrongs, it doesn't give the families of the victims any sense of closure or safety.

There's corrections officers who were threatened by him time and time again. He threatened their lives and their families. I believe them 100% over a convicted murderer anyday. I do agree prison is a reform for criminals and lost souls. But there has to a limit there. Murders or extreme violence is one of them. NOBODY can judge whether that person is still sick or not. Pedophiles prove this point accurately that you absolutely cannot trust someone who you think is cured. They are let out day after day and the repeat offenders is astronomical.

Rest in hell you piece of crap.

The actual package I pay for states " Up to 1mb Down, up to 256kb Up".

My installation was a new step for them a long line of site application from tower to tower so he said he'd give me a full time 1mb/400 connection. I've always had much higher than that, and after my tweaking my setup this is what I get... 

They are only at 20% capacity of their backbones/networks capability at peak hours also, so I don't see these speeds changing for a long long time

1mb/400

I was getting about 1200/480.. After some tweaking with cable loss issues (replaced LMR400 with LMR600) and adjusting the aim of my antenna im now getting:

For living in the middle of absolutely no where and pinging sub 20ms to basically every east/midwest gaming servers and sub 50ms to the west coast I cannot be happier especially for $39 a month and no bandwidth limit

I have my wireless @ 1400/850 $39.95

And DirecWay averaging @ 1000/25 $59.99 (All done with direcway after December is up)

And I have free dialup for backup.. Free

If the vanburne links didn't help you're probably out of luck.

Hard to deicpher what you said/meant above.. 2mb down/ 256k up package?

If so you're pretty close to that..

Here's a link to a screen shot of ping plotter after 30 traces.. I'll get some tracert screen next time it starts, but they are just about like this.

After some tweaking and antenna re-aiming.. My wireless internet is really coming around..

I get about 1300 down/ 700 up at all times.

My ping on an idle connection (on but not i use) I ping very low.. But I notice if I move a steady amount up/down like gaming for over 10 mins I get ping spikes up into 200-500 basically making anything latency intensive.. online gaming/video conference/ VOIP nearly impossible to use.

In the early AM it clears up again.. it works fine during the day until about 3pm and then it spikes all night until about midnight. I originally figured it was a bandwidth problem, but they service schools/businesses on the same backbone and claim the peak usage is during 8-3pm. I have no problems then it's always after from 3-12. They cannot figure out why it spikes and neither can I.

When I D/L during these times the pings are horrible for the duration of the download.. I can be d/l at 10kb's or 180kb's it doesnt matter, the lag is about 300ms average and stays there.

Any ideas? No packet loss.. I traced the problem to start 5 hops from me so I know it isn't my system. They said no one else is experiencing problems on the network only me..

2-3 yrs ago it was hands down best free firewall you could get..

zonealarm is disgusting too I don't know how anyone can stand it.

Never had any luck with them in the last year..

Would take FOREVER to load that firewall.

Because some people have more than one PC on one connection.

Because some people do more than surf webpages.

Because some people use VOiP/P2P/Gaming at the same time.

Because I need my pr0n faster than you.

Here's mine.. This is from my wireless internet connection.

In all of my many many personal or client built computers the Antec supplies I use have not failed, once.

I'd highly suggest Antec from my experiences..

Holy fuxor batman. 

I just barely got rid of DirecGay Shatellite internet for wireless. I average about 180Kb's down/ 70Kb's up with my wireless net now. I thought that was good,  sheesh I want more after seeing these sort of posts 

Right when you think you're fitting in and finally part of the technology world everyone else upgrades and you feel like a terd trapped in a clogged toilet 

1500down  768 upload for $39.95 a month. I live in the absolute middle of no where way out in a rural area so that price for those speeds are a god send for me.

Hmmm well that didn't help. I pu tin 1500 down/ 768 up and loaded the custom file and it killed my download about 400 and my upload about 100-150.

I delete the settings to default reboot and its back to 1200-1300 down and 500-550 up.

Looks like I'm stuck at these speeds?

All your rural area illegal cow tipping activies are belong to me.
