flyer1960 Posted June 21, 2006 CID Share Posted June 21, 2006 My highest speed test score is 3.08 mbps. However, I'm supposed to be getting 5.0 mbps. I am a Charter customer living in the Metro-East. I spoke with Charter, and the rep basically said if I'm not satisfied after the trial period to revert back to the 3.0 service. Suggestions?

flyer1960 Posted June 21, 2006 CID Share Posted June 21, 2006 I have run assorted tests which show the system is running normally, but no, I have not tried tweaking the system. Suggestions? Thanks for the welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyer1960 Posted June 22, 2006 CID Share Posted June 22, 2006 Additional info: I have now used several tweaking programs, and my former 3.08 record has been soundly beaten with a reading of 3.11. I'm thinking that perhaps my Motorola SB4100 cable modem cannot handle the 5.0 load. I even contacted Motorola via email, and the tech responded that the SB4100 could probably not handle the task. The tech recommended the SB5120 modem. I know Motorola is trying to sell a modem, but is it possible that may be the correct diagnosis?

AgentGOD Posted June 22, 2006 CID Share Posted June 22, 2006 Yes, that is also what Comcast stated in their FAQ. Those with the old modem models, need to get the new model. It may very well be your modem limiting your bandwidth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyer1960 Posted June 23, 2006 CID Share Posted June 23, 2006 New twist...I spoke with a Charter tech who ran a cmd check which revealed 31 TCPs installed. Ms. Tech said 5 or 6 are normal. They are apparently programs running in the background that negatively affect the internet speed. She recommended reinstalling the Windows XP, but there must be a less obtrusive way to do it. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Can it be corrected through msconfig? The tech also said the SB4100 modem can handle 5 mbps with no problem. My computer illiteracy is showing.
