tommie gorman Posted March 3, 2006 CID Share Posted March 3, 2006 Not liking to flame with another member, i would like to know if there is anything I could do to true up my speeds and thereby avoid further conflicts. So how do you slow down bursting, not just in test where you just test differently. I would just like to readjust what ever is going on and get true speeds again so I can post with out problems. Would also like to be able to test and know that I am getting what I am getting. :::..

I agree. But do not know ho to do this as I do not know that I did anything in the first place to cause it. If not does anybody know how to get a hold of the Rev. please? Anybody.

Mtnfolk Posted March 3, 2006 CID Share Posted March 3, 2006 Try a speed test here. http://performance.toast.net/ Test withe Shuttle + Text 755 k the 3rd one down. I test with testmy.net and also toast.net Both test show about the same speed on my test. Maybe you are getting that speed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggr3 Posted March 3, 2006 CID Share Posted March 3, 2006 tommie gorman ...might sound stupid but clear your cache out . The tests here are a new test and it can tend to do strange things sometimes when your computer thinks it knows what it's doing instead of actually executing the code that's comming. Anyway give it a try. Sorry I don't use FF.....but I know other folks with a 6000 that do and their not having trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted March 3, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 3, 2006 Did total recovery twice since it started, ccleaner at least once a week, virus and spyware free( double checked with every online scanner in forum posts) AVG Free, vcleaner, microsoft anti spyware, adware, Spybot, normally run IE6 with yahoo add on,Microsoft baseline analyzer, defragged at least twice a week, restart modem at least once a week, tried firefox, user profile hive cleanup, windows live safety scanner, TCP Optimizer old style from Rev's post. Also scan and get updates in safe about every other week. I think that is all i know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted March 4, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 4, 2006 So I would say it is safe to assume that my speed issue would be resolved, that my speeds are ok to post as correct, if no one can figure out anything is actually wrong with this setup by the end of the weekend, then I can claim everything worked that I did! And there will no more speed burst issues? As long as i test with a large file! Correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommie gorman Posted March 4, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 4, 2006 No not at all. My comp has been getting unreasonable speeds lately, and I was trying to resolve the issue. I feel sort of left out that I appear to not be at all justified in posting my scores as everybody else. Everytime I do even in large file tests, i get someone (not naming) telling me I am speed bursting. Although I have done nothing to cheat. My scores are a little unusually high, and mostly I just want to post on the forum as anyone else. So I started this post to see if anyone could resolve this so I can come out and play also.

When one person gets way over the majority's average, and they're on the same plan, logic will tell you that it's not accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted March 4, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 4, 2006 I don't want to be correct at all. Lets make this simple, I really just want to change it so we all play on the same playing field with the same rules. I really don't want to be special. You are the only one that makes it appear this way. If there is any solution you could come up with, which is what this thread is about i would appreciate it. Have been singled out in this way? I hope not. Now that all that is said, do you have any help for my setup so I might test it and change it. Can you help get a majority average again? By way the others are starting to get better speeds also. Luckily not like mine though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how you got above, so I don't think I can. You could try removing all your tweaks. Then test some things, see if it loads slower. And take a test (make sure you do it a few times, right after each other). Test at different times of the day, also. I always get the most accurate tests when I test the 2992 kb test a few times in Firefox. By way the others are starting to get better speeds also. Luckily not like mine though. Since they've redone the site, I can actually test with Firefox and get a good speed. A lot of times in the morning it will be around 1.5 mbps the first time, then it will drop down. Remember the first night that Testmy made the changes? Everyone was getting like 1.5 mbps or higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommie gorman Posted March 4, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 4, 2006 After I remove the optimizer, this will be a good time to try newer wersion of optimizer. Where would I probably get the settings for it. I'd pm justinlay but I thought they might be in here, except I have never been able to find them, even for other people? Is that not all the tweaks you see in my list.^^ Just for reference in the last week others are trying optimizer and increasing speeds, but no not like mine.

It's probably some kind of registry setting that is giving you a super high speed burst. I used to always get really a really high burst on my wired computer. Don't mess with anything, I'll get over it sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted March 5, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 5, 2006 Problem is I don't give up that easily, I would still like to properly post speeds. My 1030 speeds were consistent and i felt comfortable. If a total recovery is necessary, then eventially, that is what will have to be done. Still I would like to try other optimizer, if I could find the settings, first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommie gorman Posted March 5, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 5, 2006 Might be some of the difference. Try these: TCP Receive Window: 224360 256960 Max.

Bird Fan Posted March 5, 2006 CID Share Posted March 5, 2006 The tweaks I posted were straight from SatSpeed. I wouldn't worry about the other tabs... I've never done anything different in them, except for maybe the Max Connections per server tweak thing that The Rev posted about along with his "fastest ever" speeds. BTW, the only reason he got those was because he was on a 1.5/256 package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted March 5, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 5, 2006 This is strange also: Speakeasy gives me an 890Kbps. You said that once your comp did a few strange things. Did it do it on all speed tests or just this one? This is the only one that it shows up this way. And of course this the only place I can validate. testmy.net again: 1156 and 1559 with 2992 Man I don't have acess to the 5k or 12k test anymore. Did they remove them?

When they made the site changes, I was constantly getting them, and before that on my wired computer, I would always get higher than I should have been getting. They've been making changes to the tests some, I think; so they may not have finished those yet. Maybe they did remove them, I don't know.
