Can't get Download speed off of testmy.net...crippled connection?

Recommended Posts

Can't get Download speed off of testmy.net, only Upload.  Using other speedometers of bandwidth (pcpitstop.com), I am showing a severely crippled connection.  Using WinXP, SBC DSL (not the Pro-pack).

Where do I start with this?

Here what I know:

Bandwidth Down: [glow=red,2,300]133 Kbits/sec [/glow]

Bandwidth Up: 322 Kbits/sec

Average Ping: 99 ms

Ping Loss: 0%

TCP Receive Window (default)

Browser MSIE 6.0; SV1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705

IE current cache 13 MB

IE max cache 80 MB

Here's what I have done:

Power cycled;

Run TCPOptimizer;

Run AdAware;

Run Search and Destroy;

Run CCleaner.

I have a current HijackThis file (for those that can help with that)

Still very sluggish....

Any suggestions?  Let me kow what esle I can do to help my speed.

Many thanks in advance.

estimate = 0.33 based on packet size = 11Kbits, RTT = 178.93msec, and loss = 0.034334764

The theoretical network limit is 0.33 Mbps

The NDT server has a 101.0 KByte buffer which limits the throughput to 4.41 Mbps

Your PC/Workstation has a 32.0 KByte buffer which limits the throughput to 1.42 Mbps

The network based flow control limits the throughput to 0.43 Mbps

Client Data reports link is 'T1', Client Acks report link is 'T1'

Server Data reports link is 'T1', Server Acks report link is 'T1'

Let me know what else I can do to help with the diagnosis.

Many thanks.

The following parts of the test results are of significant:

"There were 12 packets retransmitted, 45 duplicate acks received, and 50 SACK blocks received

The connection was idle 0 seconds (0%) of the time

This connection is network limited 99.98% of the time.

Excessive packet loss is impacting your performance, check the auto-negotiate function on your local PC and network switch

RTT = 178.93msec

MaxRwinRcvd: 33396

Your PC/Workstation has a 32.0 KByte buffer which limits the throughput to 1.42 Mbps

The network based flow control limits the throughput to 0.43 Mbps"

Your signal quality is not good as shown by the high RTT and packet losses.

Your RWIN (buffer) is only 33396 limiting your throughput to 1.4 Mbps.

Your ISP network at the time of testing has high traffic shown by the small throughput of 0.43 Mbps allocated to you.

To check line quality, do a tracert to www.testmy.net

What is your ISP advertised speed?

I will admit that most of what you said is over my head....

What is a tracert and where exactly can I find one on testmy.net can.  If that is done during the "Download Speed Test", here are the results:

This was tested from a 1075 kB file and was downloaded in 30.64 seconds

:::.. Download Stats ..:::

Connection is:: 287 Kbps about 0.3 Mbps (tested with 1075 kB)

Download Speed is:: 35 kB/s

Tested From:: https://testmy.net

Test Time:: 

Bottom Line:: 5X faster than 56K 1MB download in 29.26 sec

Diagnosis: May need help : running at only 66.44 % of your hosts average (232.51)

Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-DF38TOQJ5

My ISP advertised speed is up to 128 to 384Kbps. (Only speed available in my area).

To do a tracert, click 'Start' and then 'Run'. Type "cmd" into the box and click 'ok'.

A DOS black screen will appear. Type after the C:

tracert www.testmy.net

and press enter key

When test is completed, move mouse cusor to the DOS black screen, click right and choose 'select all'.

Move mouse cursor to the Quick Reply box of this forum, click right and 'paste'.

Are you located far from your ISP's CO? Hop 2 to 3 sees a big delay.

Another possibility is problem in the telephone lines  Check visually that the phone line within your home is okay right to the junction box located just outside the house and that there is no electromagnetic interference (EMI) from nearby electrical devices affecting the low voltage signals in the line.

We had a case a couple of weeks ago, where a defective heat pump was emitting strong EMI affecting signals.
