VanBuren Posted January 2, 2005 CID Share Posted January 2, 2005 all i know about signal strength is that on dsl connections with low signal strength (usally far away from CO) has to use Interleaved (error correction) from dslmodem to default gateway to reduce packetloss. that will give you a ping to gateway up to around 30 ms, instead of 5-10 ms, gamers hate that, and it also bring down speed. My isp has Interleaved enabled by default for xdsl, no matter if you need it or not So i tell them to call support and let them check signal strength and if its good, remove Interleved and use Fastpath one guy with vdsl lowered hes ping to firsthop from 30 ms to 1 ms by calling them and use Fastpath Unfortunely alot of ppl dosent know about this and, is stuck with poor pings and slow speed VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MICROWAVE Posted January 2, 2005 CID Share Posted January 2, 2005 VanBuren, yes absolutely that is very true with DSL, thanks for clarifying this, the correct statement I was making had to do with Sat connections which the Reverend has....

VanBuren Posted January 2, 2005 CID Share Posted January 2, 2005 Sattelite seems like a chapter of its own all teorys that can be used with other connection types, just dosent seem to work with Sattelite hehe thats why i probl never learn how to setup a proper tweak for em VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Reverend Posted January 2, 2005 Author CID Share Posted January 2, 2005 2smart4u ....I am unable to post my upload speeds from testmy.net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MICROWAVE Posted January 3, 2005 CID Share Posted January 3, 2005 Reverend , Thats interesting that you have to reboot, have you ever tried taking down security to prove if thats the issue, also if you take it down will it increase your download? Points to ponder.....LOL Microwave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcin541 Posted January 3, 2005 CID Share Posted January 3, 2005 I am on interleaved mode which is sort of like "Safe mode" where it wont have as much funtionality but it will run better signal wise. Im pretty sure I qualify for "fast" mode but some people at my isp dont know what "fast" mode is, so I wont be trying that anytime soon. I am 10,100 feet away from the CO, but my signals are as good as someone who is 4400 feet away. I think I should be able to get fast mode.
