netmasta Posted January 6, 2006 CID Share Posted January 6, 2006 Are you using a router? Cause your first hop shouldn't time out. If so, try a tracert and speed test without the router connected. Also, read the links in my sigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asubaseball727 Posted January 6, 2006 CID Share Posted January 6, 2006 You can always call comcast, I'm assuming that the problem is your modem because the 1st hop is timing out. They're bringing me a new modem tomorrow . for free because it is an outdated one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, read the links in my sigs. yeah I've done those instructions in you're sig, the only thing I haven't tried is an tweaker! i however got some help from a covad guy and we tried a differnt test and I am getting over 8,000 kb/s so I am actually doing well...we couldn't really figure out why is was so much slower on testmy, but even cnet.com has confirmed simialr results as speed test servers have outputed! I will look into seieng if my sb 5120 modem is outdated and if so...request a different one! -Jumaane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarge7570 Posted January 22, 2006 CID Share Posted January 22, 2006 I have the same package and also live in Salem. The speed tests are not 100%. Try testing from different locations...dslreports.com is a good one. Get rid of the crap old rca leased modem if you have it. I upgraded and bought my own modem (DCM-202) from Best Buy for $60.00. Here are my speeds with the new modem and Cablnut tweaks using my own CSS file. :::..
