SRY for the late reply Speedy Final. The ISP is cablelynx. You can check out their web site at www,cablelynx.com I have their commercial package. They havent updated their site yet and probably never will but the up stream is now 1.5. I wish they would raise the downstream to 3.0 so bad but they proabably wont for quite a while.

I have cable and my ISP charges 100 bucks a month with a one year contract for 1.5 down and 1.5 up. It sucks cause there the only broadband i can get

well it looks like i spoke to soon.

As you can see the 1st one comes out ok however I ran a full tracert test to testmy.net and got *'s on random hops but when ever I test directly to hop 4 a few times I will always get a * after about 3 test. :::..

Well so far I havent had any time outs. Either they fixed it in one night (very doubtful) or theres not much traffic.

ok i will. Just wondering is the times on hop 5 normal since it goes 50 14 57.

Iam not sure why it goes through all those sbcglobal servers even though I dont use them but this test was done at 2:30 pm central time so theres not much trafic going on at my ISP. It seems to do the time outs at about 4 or 5 till about 11 pm.

no i havent tryed tweaking and i dont know how but i have called my ISP and they said they are gonnna look into their network for any problems

Your connection is: 1004 Kbps (about 1 Mbps) You downloaded at: 123 KB/s Your TRuSPEED

Is directway a satellite internet service though? And sry but I forgot to say that this is cable internet and I use cablelynx

1st I would like to say hi to all of you. Iam new to the forums but have been using the site for a little while (like it alot). I ran some tracert test and random hops seems to have * on them which I think means the packet got lost or there was no response. Well to try and figure out which hop was causing this I ran a tracert test to one hop at a time about 5 times to see if I would get a *. My 1st 2 hops (excluding my router) dont give me any *'s after traceing to them about 5 times. Then i decided to trace to my 3rd hop. When i run test to it I get time outs on it some times and sometimes i dont. I was wondering if this is normal or acceptable. My speed test seem to come out pretty good (my rated speed is 1.5 down). But when loading a large web page it will sometimes pause for a period of time before it finishes or it will load the whole thing except one small picture and that will load up a few seconds latter. If I do need to call my ISP what should I say Thanks
