Help with RR


Recommended Posts

Also I went over your recent test history and noticed something. you are testing with different size files every time. That's a sign you are just clicking the "Smartest". Don't, Instead you should click the 2992 test. that will choose a larger test if needed. I am concerned about the huge variaton in speeds thouigh you have gone from 4800 kbps to as low as 100 kbps in same day. Almost like something was using your connection for something else. When was the last tme you ran a virus scan, adware scanners etc. When testing you have to make sure that nothing else is using the connection, no downloading, no browsing, no windows update, no messengers, no p2p applications.

Hi guys... I am still having problems.  I am starting to think it might be that since I live in an apartment.. all others are hogging the network bandwidth.. and plus I have tv connected with Time warner.. maybe that affects it.  Do I need to get a booster or something??

here is my latest trace route without using router

Tracing route to testmy.net [67.18.179.85]

over a maximum of 30 hops:

I also tried forcing NIC to half-duplex and 10Mbps/10baseT. but didnt do anything.  So I am back on 100 Mbps.

your main problem is a huge latency problem. Your first hop should be no more that 3 to 5 ms. it's actually timing out. that shouldn't happen. try checking the level of your modem. also call your provider and have them check your connection from their end. your problem is a hardware issue.

Hi,

Today the RR person came and took away an old modem and replaced it with a new one.  though the speed is still somewhat same.. I did some tests,

I am connected direct through my cable to my computer. 

same results.. but funny thing is.. if I connect direct then any of the p2p seems to be fast.  Is there any settings in the router that I can configure??

Hi guys.... thanks for all the help.  I tried everything with Roadrunner, but didnt seem to work.  went up to the 3rd level of support and a guy came in and said that in nyc area, time warner cables are old and only 20 percent fiber optic..  Once he said that I called up RCN and switched back to them today.

Man ... what a difference :-)
