Brownie2k2001 Posted March 18, 2006 CID Share Posted March 18, 2006 Hi, I'm new to these forums I've been having some problems with my DSL download speeds, I live in the UK and I'm on Wanadoo Broadband. I've just been upgraded from 2Mb to 8Mb, but when i do a speed test I'm getting: :::.. Download Stats ..::: Connection is:: 6604 Kbps about 6.6 Mbps (tested with 5983 KB) Download Speed is:: 806 KB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net (server1) Test Time:: 2006/03/18 - 2:47pm Bottom Line:: 118X faster than 56K 1MB Download in 1.27 sec Tested from a 5983 KB file and took 7.422 seconds to complete Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; Media Center PC 4.0; InfoPath.1) Diagnosis: Awesome! 20% + : 186.51 % faster than the average for host (co.uk) Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-HK7YVWQCR I don't know if this is right, I'm using a D-Link DSL-G604T Router and my connection is set to PPPoE, as when it's set to PPPoA, I'm getting about 300kb/s download max. I've read the top 2 posts, tried Cablenut and TuneUp Utilities 2006. My router reports that my line speeds and line attenuation are: Up: 288kbps, Att: 20, SnR: 31 Down: 8218kbps, Att: 24, SnR: 13 Sorry for the long post, I've tried to include as much information as i can, and if needed i can post my ping/tracert results. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fattymcbluff Posted March 18, 2006 CID Share Posted March 18, 2006 your speeds look pretty good they may look a little slow because your in the uk and the server is here in the us try one of the mirrors closer to you http://www.testmy.net/mirrors.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brownie2k2001 Posted March 18, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 18, 2006 What are the typical Download speeds on 8MB? i'm averaging 830kb/s from websites... i always thought it was in the region of 900k - 1mb, though i'm most probably wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brock01 Posted March 18, 2006 CID Share Posted March 18, 2006 ya 1MB/s is possible 8000 Mb/s divide by 8 =1000 KB/s =1MB/s if your gettting 830 KB/s then your getting 83% of what you could get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brownie2k2001 Posted March 18, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 18, 2006 On the mirrors (Germany) i'm getting: :::..

brock01 Posted March 18, 2006 CID Share Posted March 18, 2006 are you testing from a wired pc, or wireless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brownie2k2001 Posted March 18, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 18, 2006 I'm wired, i've got my girlfriend connected through wireless (both running through a router) but her computer is very rarely online. My Line attentuation is rather good, or so i've been told, so i dont think thats the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brock01 Posted March 18, 2006 CID Share Posted March 18, 2006 just wondering, but do you have your wireless secured? someone could always be leeching some of you speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brownie2k2001 Posted March 18, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 18, 2006 yeah, i've got my wireless secured by WEP, and my router is showing no one but myself and my girlfriend online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brownie2k2001 Posted March 19, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 19, 2006 i've done all that you suggested peepnklown and i'm getting :::.. Download Stats ..::: Connection is:: 5975 Kbps about 6 Mbps (tested with 5983 kB) Download Speed is:: 729 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net (main) Test Time:: 2006/03/19 - 2:15am Bottom Line:: 107X faster than 56K 1MB Download in 1.4 sec Tested from a 5983 kB file and took 8.203 seconds to complete Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; Media Center PC 4.0; InfoPath.1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727) Diagnosis: Awesome! 20% + : 159.11 % faster than the average for host (co.uk) Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-EAP9YQM1F I know i was upgraded to 8mb on the 15th March, so i'm wondering if it's going to take a week or 2 for the line to settle down. but i'm still pretty sure i should be getting a little more than 6mb... my line attentuation is near perfect, though the Down SnR is 17, so i'm not sure if that plays a part in it?? Do you think i should give the line a little time to settle or keep trying?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brownie2k2001 Posted March 19, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 19, 2006 Also to add, i'm suing VanBuren's Cablenut settings v7, 8000/800 (closest to my upload speed) windows xp PPPoE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
