Thank you for explaining these in layman's terms. I'm not a techi person but somehow I could get a good grasp of what you are saying. Anyhow, i have some questions though. For example, I have come up with a good basestation considering RSSI, Jitters and all that...how would I apply that in my configuration? Do I have to uncheck again the other boxes and leave the ones with better stats? But you have mentioned once that it is not advisable...And when choosing the best basestation, do I also have to consider the color codes? Is there also a way to choose the best color code? Sorry blackshadow if I ask too much, I'm sure lots of readers also have these kinds of questions floating in there head, and we're looking forward for your answer. Thanks Oh by the way, when I followed coolbuster's 20 and 10 steps I didn't mix it with his FOURmula tweak. After following those steps, it didn't work out for me so I followed his advice to reset my TCP/IP, release and renew my IP then flush my dns in order for me to proceed to his Fourmula tweak. Along with the procedure, I downloaded TCP/IP resseter and DrTCP. Part of coolbuster's recommendation is to "reformat hard drive and install a fresh Windows XP operating before applying this procedure" which I didn't followed sorry coolbuster if i'm being too hardheaded. Now here is the best part this is my speed upon doing coolbuster's 20 steps, 10 steps and canopy tweaking :::.. testmy.net test results ..::: Download Connection is:: 45 Kbps about 0.05 Mbps (tested with 97 kB) Download Speed is:: 5 kB/s Upload Connection is:: 181 Kbps about 0.2 Mbps (tested with 386 kB) Upload Speed is:: 22 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net (Main) Test Time:: 2009/05/04 - 11:52pm D-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-X4TQEAGOB U-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-ELC9N1T2O User Agent:: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042316 Firefox/3.0.10 [!] Now this is my speed being persistent not to give up and trusting all these awesome people who shared a piece of there greatness. :::.. testmy.net test results ..::: Download Connection is:: 368 Kbps about 0.37 Mbps (tested with 512 kB) Download Speed is:: 45 kB/s Upload Connection is:: 94 Kbps about 0.1 Mbps (tested with 256 kB) Upload Speed is:: 11 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net (Main) Test Time:: 2009/05/05 - 7:03pm D-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-GDP1WS4MA U-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-KE4R8TLFP User Agent:: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042316 Firefox/3.0.10 [!] My smartbro just fired up to this speed following Coolbuster FOURmula procedure and Blackshadow canopy configuration's advice Special thanks to Coolbuster for all his straight to the point and easy to understand tutorials and to Blackshadow who's always there ready to offer help to better understand technical stuffs ***so much I would like to attach coolbuster's site where I got his procedures but I'm afraid it would be mark as spam. just google it instead, type "cablenut settings for smartbro" and you will see his blog site in the first search result (I bet he is also good in terms of SEO) Anyways, I hope my smartbro speed will stay that way or could get even better Thanks guys and more power

Thank you once again blackshadow. I have applied the settings in my canopy configuration using what you have mentioned above..I'm still going to give it sometime to test my internet speed before I'm going to show the results. But so far I'm still experiencing slow connection. I've also read and followed coolbuster's tutorials and tweaks like his 20 steps and now being simplified to 10 steps using cablenut. I also followed his Fourmula tweak using DrTCP. Then I came across cFos that I haven't tried it yet coz from what I read it's a trial version...and up to this point, my smartbro connection sucks...But this won't stop me searching for the holy grail to somehow make smartbro worth it.

HI there! Before i have good connectivity with my smartbro but ever since my canopy was hit by lightning and they replaced it my speed slows down dramatically. Just opening a friendster account slows dowm my speed so much. I did the tweaking of the tcp ip and such but I just found 10 differnt ips for other peoples canopy. I cant search for mine. I tried to ping,tried Ken ways and many more to no avail. Sadly i cant climb my canopy since its already 30 ft and take note in the roof top of a 3 story house. So basically really LIFE Threatening! So can anybody pls help me how to access my canopy..thanks!

Oh by the way, for those smartbro users who still can't acces their canopy page, I share the same frustrations at first...so I did it the hard way..I grab my digicam and climb all the way up and took a clear shot of the sticker located at the back of the canopy (antenna), before you do this life threatening act be sure to secure yourself and most importantly, bring with you a pen and paper to jot down the numbers printed on the sticker. The numbers that you have to write by the way is the ESN number (mine has 12 digits, maybe it varies from other antennas). Once you have with you your ESN number, go back to your computer and convert it. You don't need any software or a certain website to do this. All you have to do is to open your windows calculator (go to start > click on "all programs" and look for "accessories" and there you will find your calculator. Assuming that you have opened your calculator, you have to set it to "scientific". At the upper left side of your calculator screen, click on "view" and a drop down menu will open, then select "scientific" from the selection. Ok, now that we're done configuring our calculator, the next thing you have to do is to convert your ESN number that you copied from your antenna sticker..I mentioned earlier that your ESN number has 12 digits, well take note ONLY the LAST 6 DIGITS (ex. F1DAFD) How to convert the last 6 digits First click "hex" radio button located at the left side. Input the first pair of the last 6 digits that you have. Following our example F1DAFD, the first pair would be F1, next thing that you have to do is to click on the "Dec" radio button. So in our example F1 will now be converted to 241..do this procedure with the other pairs ONE AFTER THE OTHER (don't do this all at once)..In our example F1 DA FD will now be converted to 241 218 253. The numbers that you derived would be your canopy ip address. All canopy ip address start with 10, all you need to do is to add 10 from numbers that you have derived. Our example now would be 10.241.218.253, this will now be the ip address from our example canopy. I hope this helps

Thank you blackshadow for the quick reply..I followed your instructions and it did saved my changes now I'm not quite sure yet if it made significant changes to my internet speed..(I'll keep you posted if it made any drastic smartbro internet performance to it's peak) what I'm concern now is about changing the settings in the "Custom Radio Frequency Scan Selection List" under Configuration > Radio tab. Is it advisable to check only the one with the highest RSSI and leave the rest unchecked? Thank you once again

I've been reading all the tutorials here about boosting smartbro internet connection and made it to the point of having the luck to have access to my canopy page. The problem I'm facing now is that I can't save the changes I made from the configuration tab, specifically from the QoS. Whenever I save and boot, It still goes back to the original settings. My Sustained Uplink date Rate: 3500 wherein the max range is 0--7000, same thing with the Downlink date Rate. Somehow I want to change it to 5000, but whenever I save, it still reverts back to 3500.. Please I need your help regarding these. Thanks in advance

Not being a smartbro customer, or ever having been, I do have a basic understanding of the system, and simply changing the software will not increase the bandwidth, this is allocated through the ISP ie: smartbro. It may however increase stability, and overall performance. 512 seems to be the average SB download speed, if your achieving this, then your doing pretty good comparatively.

thats my problem too.:-// anyone help? the problem is if your smartbro canopy is connected in to your router. you can't access your canopy already.

The smartbro line is plugged into my computer directly, google takes just a few seconds to load... When it is plugged into my router, google takes a significantly longer time to load... Anybody have any idea what could cause this?

This is my very slow speed. When i use this QuickSolution of SmartBro and tested my connection. It says: It seems that you have more than one Local Area Connection enabled. Please disable other Local Area Connections, Dial-Up Connections, Wireless Connections and try again. Instructions: Press START on your desktop. Choose CONTROL PANEL from the list of menu. Choose NETWORK CONNECTIONS Right click the other enabled Local Area Connection and select Disable I check all NETWORK CONNECTIONS but there is no other connection. Can someone help me here?

Welcome to testmy.net jpblitz21, glad you joined. I'm not a smart bro user, but I do read all the posts concerning smartbro and jump in when I can. Keeping this in mind, the speed (427 kbps ) would be the same thing the better part of smartbro users get, now the consistant lower speed would signify when the tower you are aimed at is experiencing heavy useage, so there wouldn't be anything that can be done. What the canopy does in heavy usage ties, is allocate the available bandwidth total, divided by the users. This way , everyone gets online, at least a little a bit. I do have to say though, when I started out using the internet, I never got over say 20-60 kbps. No one did. The reason you cannot access your canopy is because they soon realized that by changing the color code , you were in essence "cheating" the other users out of bandwidth, thats where they got in trouble. So they blocked it from access. Some people still seem to get in, and I have read that when they do, and when smartbro discovers this, they will either be shut off, and or allocated a smaller bandwidth allowability. If you have already done some of the registry tweaks you have found, then this may be all that can be done. But since your familiar, you could always experiment with the figures yourself, there is always room for improvement, but keep in mind, that with all the users accessing the canopy , there generally going to get the same thing you are during peak usage times. Although this isn't always true, I believe the acceptions are simple flaws within the canopy configuration itself.

aw coolbuster, when i downloaded ur ccs cleaner from ur 20 steps to speedup smartbro. the result i cant play any java games in my web browser is ccs cleaner delete some data in my computer? how can i get it back please help me!!!!

guys.. why am i seeing some test scores that are not: 1. using their ID 2. using the host..."smartbro.net" that's y i doubt if it is really their score... i've seen someone LOGGED IN but his/her ID in the scoretest is different... btw.., COOLBUSTER... you helped me a lot.. tnx dude! and i have something to ask you, here are my test scores... www.testmy.net Edit: Removed for advertising 2wire.com 709.80kbps <-- i don't know how to insert the image no upload test pldtplay test meter 937.9kbps <-- same problem, dunno how to insert the image.... no upload test why is it that there are different scores from different speed test site?? but my maximum torrent and direct download is around 150kB/s so it is 1.2Mbps... is 1.2Mbps really my test score or what?

if this thread is still active , can anyone help me regarding this situation. im kinda confused at the moment. i play worlds of warcraft online game and i need stable connection. im living in malaybalay city and only 3 isp company such as philcom, sotelco and smartbro available . i was a philcom user for 3 mos and cancel the subscription because their connection is really bad, i get disconnected a lot every 30mins. sotelco is expensive for a plan 256Kbps, you need to pay almost 3k including installation and you have no assurance of the given plan if the speed is accurate and fix. i just wanna know if the tweaking of smart bro still work. i had installed it yesterday ( march 30. 2009) . i had the same configuration shown in the picture above. sustained data rate of 7000Kbps , is this the normal configuration?

that my friend i think is the old type of antenna smartbro used to use*redundant LOL*. it has 7mbps aggregate. unfortunately, mine is also capped to 1mbps aggregate. *sigh* am i right?

woah! last post was oct. 25 and nobody answered your question? well one trick that worked for me is try disabling > enabling your smartbro connection. through that, your ip changes and if you're lucky, you might even be able to download from rs. correct me if i'm wrong though.

Yo... Hi to everybody here in tmn.... It's been a long time since i last log-in... Well I've been busy...still busy until now... I'm on my review class for my upcoming mechanical engineering board exam.. and a little update... i'm not on smartbro anymore... I drop my connection with them as soon as my contract expired... sorry guys, if i can't be that much of a help... anyways, goodluck on your tweaking...

you have smartbro?...is that correct?

How much would it be for less bandwidth ? I'm thinking you might need to make a dreaded call to smartbro.

@tdawnaz nope im not the major contributor on this topic im only a sr. member ive post some tweaks and tips regarding smartbro and rest for a while and when i came back on this site i read about this canopy update so i decided to do so but it says my esn version has been expired and needed to purchase again valid for 1yr hahahaha about this site i already visited it geez its not english nor tagalog i think its spanish whatsoever i cant read it to study what is it

collidestar? how long have you been a smartbro user? i happen to have a boost with my connection speed lately, i didn't use tweak, it just happened, i dont know why, but im sure glad it did...

Yeah the NAT thingy. I want to open up a port for those. Smart call center agents... ugh. Sometimes I just want to slaughter them all Maybe someone with connections to smartbro can help? (cough... cough... coolbuster cough...)
