BlazingFire456 Posted March 18, 2006 CID Share Posted March 18, 2006 I tried you guys' advice. I was signing on at 49.2kbps but whenever I did a speed test, it was always 38kbps(4 kB/s) or so. I had 4 other things things in my house plugged into a phone jack. Two phones, and two DirecTV boxes. I unplugged all of them, signed off and signed back on, and the speed test was giving me 45kbps(6 kB/s) . Now all I wish for is for Verizon to get off their lazy bums and wire us up for DSL (if ever). Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boywonder Posted March 21, 2006 CID Share Posted March 21, 2006 Glad you were able to see some nice results.The two DirecTV boxes were prob. a big culprit that was hindering your speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
