Run a few tests from the east as well as west coast servers and post please, Your ISP may have peering issues, or there could be something else slowing the connection down to the central server.

Wait a few years ? Just install it with a boot manager -- use it for everyday 'stuffs' and while gaming goto winturds -- settled

Honestly depending on what you plan to do with it makes all the difference. If your really wanting to check out linux, imo debian is what you need. Then again , if your going to be playing songs and do email -- avg user stuffs, then yea ubuntu. Yet debian is grown on me for an all around , well everything operating system. Hell you can set up easily a debian system, use it for your desktop, as well as run various server resources for your local network, even allow external access to some aspects, the key is easily here -- on the same machine. Sure this can be done with other systems, but you'll find yourself searching for answers more if you go with another distro. Mac, yup massive production platform, although it does go against my core beliefs , all should be free, not the hardware by any means. Apple took a good thing and built a nice stable system and iced it with a pretty GUI to make the ,planets most popular platform for serious powerusers. Although you can accomplish the same things on any unix based OS , for the most part.

Ok that one is easy I've been playing myself recently. new tab ( in firefox ) type about:config You'll be told to be careful if you've not been messin around in here before -- so be careful You'll see a search bar, not the net search, but off to the left and under the main bar ( I suppose if you've heavily modified your theme it might be somewhere else. Search for network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server Look for the 'value' and change it something different, say 6 or 8 , even 10 but a higher number does not necessarily mean better. Besides, external settings can limit the number of simultaneous connections. Try this and see how the results differ.

Addons to FF just demolish it's abilities , at least in my experience. As for the differences in tx/rx I can only estimate it has something to do with what the specific addon is doing to the data stream. Or what it's looking up ect... Wish I could be more help on this. I chucked almost all addons and straightened out the issue.

Sheeze you know he did that for a laugh, way too far out there for anything else, see , look it made a bunch smile

Hey of course we can get you better speeds, what do you think we are here --- just sign here .....

Interesting your getting the TTL exceeded message -- at the router , and the modem {or the ISP} 10.xx address, which clues us in it's a local issue. On a simple network this can be caused from repeated packet transmission, causing the packets to be out of order, which is caused by traffic overload. Strange your golden on a secondary testmy.net server , with your posted results. Curious, have you removed any and all devices between the test machine and the modem - for testing only ?

Have to add -- TWC's most common answer was ' we cannot guarantee what happens outside of our networks ' -- hence, why they refuse to even discuss connection issues. There 'speedtest' IS Ookla, and IS internal, they tell you this.

I was also thinking about those filters, if i remember correctly , if one of them anywhere in the house is crappin itself, it effects everything. Could be wrong it's been some time since i used it. In fact we were just discussing it this past week, getting a line dropped for this.

Are you talking about a local account login, or a microsoft account , which logs you into thier services when you log into the machine roaddogg ?

Warning points are not so good, this feature has been there for some time, although possibly not visible. This is when one of us a a bad boy / girl so we get slapped, rarely happens, in fact I can't remember seeing anyone getting it since it's inception here. Hey dazone

I would check the basics first ( sounds as if you've already been through it all thought ) , such as ping several servers, google.com , testmy.net , ect.. trace route them and see the latency differences. Once you get a trace route, find the highest latency and trace it out. You can use different means to ping ( again , I'm sure your aware of ) ICMP / TCP. Only reason I mention this is I did not see you post any results along these lines.

Where is the java ? I'm curious white -- this may sound extreme, have you taken the modem to the connect outside, and tested from there ? This would remove any line issues from within.

Hey easygoing, I had TWC for around 5-6 years, same thing as your describing. What a mess. Although the service usually worked, and I mean that literally, usually, not always, peering is aweful. Fluccuations crossed all sides of the spectrum as well. After the 'father - son ' embezzlement issue, where they were raping the funds, and not updating the infrastructure, seemed as if things only got worse over time. Sure , there's a lot of money to be made, an ISP is a gold mine, at the same time , protect your investment for pete's sake lol

Truly I despise you microsoft With such a passion I have to take a sh*t just thinking about using your products You put out complete garbage! The longer you are in business , the more the world sinks collectively in I.Q. not to mention the chances of people getting divorced, dogs dying , nationa at war, spontaneous combustion of forrests and rivers turning toxic from the bile spewed from fuzzy creatures that hear you are still peddling this tripe to humans. Look, if you were not raping people for their money , the world would be a better place. Why not do humanity a favor, close all microsoft doors for the new year huh ? Your existence is NOT helping. Open all source code, share everything you think you know, and let the people sort it out. Geezus H why can't you see this ? One day it's a driver, next day it's a blue tooth issue ,next day it's a 'virus' or a system failure that forces the user to restart the entire machine , NO other operating stystem has these abundant and flowing issues. None hello ? Maybe you could stick to servers, that seems to be your niche, so run with it. Let it go man , just let it go, it's ok , we all know it. goodwin , you are spot on like a lazer beam Let us explain this as I did to a client about their previous 'webmaster' -- take a look at your office, see all those files in places you know where they are, this is called organisation. Now take all the files, every one from those cabinets, and toss them in a pile on the floor in the middle of the room, now -- GO , get me the file rom client {XXXXXXXX} from project {whatever on march of 2009} ----- go , what are you waiting for ? Pick it quick we need it now ok there is an issue .......... That, is windows, and exacly the way the wanna beez webzmazterz left his site. (The sickening part is it's actually on linux and they did this -- uhhg makes me shudder) Now, as you get more clients and more paperwork, toss them in the middle of the room, but spread the outward all over, each time ytou access a file , just toss it anywhere. Outward. So each time you need to access that file, the pile is larger, so it takes longer to find, oh you'll find it, but what will you misplace or ruin in doing things this way, lots, hellow messy massive gigabyte windows registry -- 90% or windows issues stem from this childs room dump they have at the core of their system. N Not to mention how vulnerable {it} the mental {if{$bastard child} of a soft young boy with a dream -- that garage must have been a damn disatser} $registry={{it}}}} is, if people had a clue , no one in their right mind would even type their real name in anything on a windows machine ever! Let alone access anything on an external network from where they live. Look, take any other OS, it's called a heirarchy, main files and reasons for lower 'files' or directories placement. Where is this huge room to be filled from the center out ina disorderly mess ? Thats right , it does not exist, because reason takes over, the files grow as anything else in nature, take a hand written not, or a word document for example, you start at the top , and you work your way down, sop the file grows lenghtwise. Take a tree or a bush , it grows the same basic way (clause for obvious reason -- sorry to abuse you nature by trying to use you as an example ) Now go, and enjoy your day.

So do tell -- what is this account that windows8 comes with , where the user cannot change the password ?

No , not sure what you mean by 'iffy' /b/ I remember hearing about a game like that 'adult' one , around the atari 2600 time, something about a cowboy and a farm girl, anyone know what I'm referring to ? Or am I showing my age -- well thats a given in any event lol

Again here I'm no cable tech by any means, at the same time , the 'error' you think you are seeing , I believe this has nothing to do with your issue. It simply is a reset of your modem, so as it requests network access it has no data stored at that point, so it tosses a ' gee -- I've got nothing' which is spit out to the log. If i were to take a stab at it , blinded as i may be, I'd say it's a mis config, or time stamp issue between a master and a slave DNS within your ISP. Or considering you've witnessed work, it might be a card in one of the nodes shitting itself. Hell, even line leakage for this matter. Which pisses off those trying to fly people over your state, and is actually a big issue since lines are aging, and so many line owners have their hands full with new customers they take not the time to run up and down the streets testing.

Flame -- shit, I've got thicker skin than that lol, besides , anyone who takes advice gets all butt hurt on info on how someone else accomplished something is a little too insecure. I never though of that, since you only have to install once. Although adding the play disk in this way [or another] is done for several reasons. Hell, doom3 is what 07' ? haha, that game never really gets old imo. Manhunt, I'll have to look that up

haha, deb is imo if not the best server OS. She's a buet ! I used centos for some time , wandering away from debian because the commands differ from what I knew, once I took the dive, in all honestly, debian and all it's children are exactly what windows could / should have been.

I tried that speedtest when you posted it, didn't seem to function too well from here, I've not looked at it's location yet, but it would seem by the lag it's either 50k-350,000 miles from me, and on a over sold node.

Not a bad thread at all, as a matter of fact. Proves what we can accomplish when we all put our heads together

So am I adaptable, I adapted to OSX Hey, we all need to open the steam vent here and again , I superbexpeciallectally enjoy waiting for an opportunity to spread the vapor in the correct direction , see the logic What a turd though, seriously, tell me what , if anything you can do with ANY windows operating system past the invent of NT ? Leaving out linking to all the social sites that pull your personal data out like a ingrown hair on the inner thigh - MS is making people less intelligent , look , I remember my sister made some strange claim about Apple years ago when she found out I switched, she says ' apple sucks, I say why ? She say's ' because it does everything for you' -- I was so speechless at the time I was stunned thinking WTF is she talking about ? I came to understand this is the windows mentality, some people believe that windows is the end all be all nike commercial just do it, when we see the layout over the last 20 years, MS has actually made it SO easy , to follow what the operating system wants you to do , that people using it for any length of time , don't see it , at all ! Strange Ever notice how so many people in reality, cannot even use windows without a desktop full of icons ? We really have to look at why this is. Most times when I get in someones house and clean out the crap they've downloaded to the point the registry is bloated out sucking memory like a vampire in a backwater vegas ally, endlessly looping around the HOSTS file while clogging up the already weak and open sockets that windows is still shipped with by default, in the attempt to send that binary clump of personal information grabbed up by key loggers , worming through the registry leaving turds, taking control over your address book and giving birth to baby slugs into your contact lists -- for starters ! The system cannot move past the splash screen after POST -- cleaning up some of this inevitably destroys many icons leading to useless tripe filled scripting, even if these icons are moved, the people freak out ' oh my gosh I have to re learn windows' geezus hahaha ERM , you never knew it to begin with pal -- if you did you would not be seeing me then would you ? You love it and you know it -- my bitching about MS hahaha Ever see the 'halloween' movie , where the kids all wore masks that turned them into brain pus sploogin' morons before exploding like a watermelon under the watchful eye of Gallagher ? haha Micro-crud built that mask! You know bro this recent 'episode' started when I decided to go scrounging for the doom3 disks, hey, I should take a few minutes and have a jump out of my skin here and again -- yes ? sokay so install right ? Three disks , last one almost finished, cool NOT! Apparently, you must tell windows not to restart itself when it feels like installing an update. Wait right there, when the screen is full and you are actually working IE: clicking and shit -- seems you cannot 'defer' the auto restart unless you happen to see this. Dumb! Bah , just wanted to play with something other then my increasingly thickening nose hairs -- I buy this 'won't catch / pinch or tug ' Guaranteed ' , tell me how this works while my eyes tear up from the device yanking a few fuzzies out of one of the bodies most sensitive areas ! Hahahaa
