Mr. Hahn Posted December 3, 2004 CID Share Posted December 3, 2004 We need to know what speed your broadband package is before we know if you're getting what you pay for. If you're getting 90%+ of your advertised speed, you're doing alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silkrose Posted December 3, 2004 Author CID Share Posted December 3, 2004 How do I find out what package I am paying for? Jenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTB Posted December 3, 2004 CID Share Posted December 3, 2004 1. if your parents pay for the connection, ask them. 2. if they don't know or if you pay for it, look up how much the package costs. 3. look up the package on your ISP's website, there should be advertised speeds listed there somewhere.

I think you have 3 Mbps downstream. When you use cablenut its important to use the right MSS value and customfile. I suggest you use this file since we dont know your upload cap. "Cable & DSL 3000 128" its in ProgramCablenutVanBurens cablenut settingsWinXP_2K_CABLE_DSLMSS1460 folder. good luck VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
