joinerl09 Posted February 18, 2006 CID Share Posted February 18, 2006 For the past week, Road Runner has been real slow. I can't reach speeds when surfing the web more than around 50-60k/sec. I'm at least supposed to reach speeds of at least 350k/sec. I puchased a 5 megabit internet package from Road Runner. I have 3 (2 wireless, 1 ethernet) windows xp computers, each with service pack 2 installed. One computer is a HP Pavilion A510e (3.2 gig processor) with 512mb of ram. The second computer is a off brand computer that has a AMD chip (2.4 gig processor) with 512 of ram with. The third computer is also an off brand with a intel celeron chip (500 megahetz processor) with 128 mb of ram. I have a Toshiba PCX5000 cable modem. The 2 wireless computers are using usb Linksys WUSB11 wireless adapters. I pinged all 3 computers several times on pcpitstop.com and the average ping time was ~1000.3 milliseconds. There's a sample speed test that was taken on one of the computers. If you need anymore information, just let me know. Thank you in advance for your help in this matter. ..

brock01 Posted February 18, 2006 CID Share Posted February 18, 2006 you reset your modem? you check for spyware? you see if your wireless is secure( someone leeching your speed), have you contacted rr? have you looked on the network page to see if anything is going on in your area? was that test from wireless or wired Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/11377-road-runner-is-real-slow-help-please/#findComment-119467 Share on other sites More sharing options...
joinerl09 Posted February 18, 2006 Author CID Share Posted February 18, 2006 I resetted the modem this morning. My anti-spyware scans for spyware each day at 2 am. My cable modem has an allowed access list so the modem only allows only the 2 computers. So i doubt that someone is leeching my speed. The test was wireless. Speeds on the wired computer are ~150 k/s. I'll contact Road runner today.

joinerl09 Posted February 18, 2006 Author CID Share Posted February 18, 2006 My internet connection was tweaked with Tune up utilities 2006. I used the wireless optimization setting for 2/3 of the computers and on the ethernet computer, i used the LAN optimization setting. I checked to see if the settings were tampered and they weren't.
