There are many sites that will "tweak" your connection,even some which will pre-fetch pages you have recently been to.I am not recommending this site and some severs will disconnect you if you use it,but in the past(a long time ago)I used a software called naviscope(I think?)there are others but you may want to try..... http//www.mnsi.net/~jhlavac/freeware/modem.htm I have never used this,but was told it helps.Let us know and keep coming back and tell your friends about this site...good luck~~~ PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GOOD COPY OF REGISTRY>>>>> microwave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaWDiZ Posted January 20, 2004 Author CID Share Posted January 20, 2004 A pimp, thankz for tha site but most of the sites products i couldn't download,because they didn't exist,but i did manage to find one.It was called "TZ Internet Connection Booster" it tweaked diffrent kind of settings and stuff but really it showed no kind of improvement.I still was taking the download test and downloading it in 90 somthing seconds, some times 100 which is no where near my goal which is at least 70 somthing seconds or lower.And i see that u know what u are doing so if i stick with u i'll make it there soon.Holla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanBuren Posted January 20, 2004 CID Share Posted January 20, 2004 RaWDiZ have you tryed tcpoptimizer from speedguide? https://www.speedguide.net/files/TCPOptimizer.exe It got settings for 56k aswell Never used it myself on 56k, but give it a try and backup your current settings before you tweak with it.

RaWDiZ Posted January 20, 2004 Author CID Share Posted January 20, 2004 Tha Interface was kind of confusing but i did use it and the results where reDICKulous i would have to say tha worst optimizer i ever used.But i don't think i can really verify that because i dont have my default settings for my maximum port speed,and when u open your connection it has properties which has modem configuration and i don't what the maximum speed (bps)should be,or should i have modem compression on or software compression on,or does it even really matter when u are optimizing.Really i just need to know tha default settings for both of them.But overall this was a bust but u can try and come up with somthing diffrent.Besides it lets u backup your old connection so that u can use it agian if u don't like it.Hollback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MICROWAVE Posted January 20, 2004 CID Share Posted January 20, 2004 RaWDIZ ) VanBuren is correct that link should help with tweaking and its pretty easy to use.Download=save to desktop,open,click optimal setting,reset and see if improvement occurs.Thats the generic way it is possible to tweak further I think its important to do many test at different times of day to see if anything has changed.If you dont see any improvement you may have other issues,but try this first Im not sure if you are asking about settings in modem setup if so I always had mine set at (I think)115,000 even though you wont get those speeds it just allows it to go as fast as it can.Let us know....And thanks VanBuren for the suggestion I was having a brain fart I think.....haha oops http//www.speedguide.net/files/TCPOptimizer.exe microwave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorne Posted January 20, 2004 CID Share Posted January 20, 2004 RaWDIZ You can try out the cablenut interface http://cablenut.org/ Install it then go start>programs>cablenut>Ccs>56k> then choose your os. Hopefully that will help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanBuren Posted January 20, 2004 CID Share Posted January 20, 2004 RaWDiZ If you want defult modem settings i suggest u reinstall your modem. If you want defult TCP settings i suggest u download Cablenut program http://www.dslnuts.com/software.shtml and open adjuster and click delete cablenut tweaks, then the program will make sure you got windows defult settings, then hit save to registy and reboot. If your not happy with speed on defult settings, dont modify port settings. Modify TCP settings instead by using TCP optimizer. and MICROWAVE lol i really had to think twice too Good luck VanBuren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaWDiZ Posted January 21, 2004 Author CID Share Posted January 21, 2004 This what it is I scanned my computer for viruses and trojans with mcafee virus scan 2004,In which non came up,then i deleted all of my registry tweaks from the cablenut that i used before to get my default window settings like he Van Buren said,Then I set my modem configure Max speed to 115200 and my maximum port speed to 115200,then opened TCP Optimizer and selected Dail-Up,then selected optimal settings and rebooted and still no major results.I'm still taking tha download test in 90 somthing seconds sometimes 100.So if u can tell me what i'm doin wrong then holla at cha boy cause I wanna be able to take tha test in at least 70 somthing seconds.But ya'll can make it happen,I know it.But keep tha optimizers comin Thankz.

VanBuren Posted January 21, 2004 CID Share Posted January 21, 2004 I dont think the problem is in your computer anymore, the problem probl is your ISP. Go to start-run type command and hit enter type ping www.testmy.net and hit enter try this aswell tracert www.testmy.net Post a reply what your latency is VanBuren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MICROWAVE Posted January 21, 2004 CID Share Posted January 21, 2004 RaWIDZ ) Thats a very good idea that VanBuren gave you,try it and let us know....Im not quite clear on your timing of 90 sec or 70 sec,so post the ping time and that will give us a better idea whats going on.For instance when I ping this site my time is usually around 50ms and my TTL51.So post the response from the links and someone will try to help. microwave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanBuren Posted January 21, 2004 CID Share Posted January 21, 2004 Thats the problem RaWDiZ Reply From 69.56.184.110: bytes=32 time=188ms TTL=47 Reply From 69.56.184.110: bytes=32 time=186ms TTL=47 Reply From 69.56.184.110: bytes=32 time=186ms TTL=47 Reply From 69.56.184.110: bytes=32 time=170ms TTL=47 on that high ping you will never get 56 kbps you wanted to be able do download the small test in less then 55s, lets do some calculations here.... 386 KB / 55s = 7 kB/s 7 kB/s x 8 = 56kbps the 8 stands for 8 bit on 1 Byte (no further explenation) I remember the days when i had 56k, to get full bandwith your ping should not be more then 100 - 120 ms to the testserver.

lorne Posted January 22, 2004 CID Share Posted January 22, 2004 RaWDIZ There is no way to make your ping lower. The only way your gonna get faster with a latency like that is to splurge and get cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MICROWAVE Posted January 22, 2004 CID Share Posted January 22, 2004 ( you have a ping time of 177ms to 188ms,I just tested mine it tested at 52ms to 58ms,so you say so what right!....Well the way to look at this ping time is when you tested to this site what happened was a signal(ping) was sent from your computer to this site and back.the ping time you are getting is very high(meaning long time round trip)your ISP is at fault,but in their way of thinking they are probably within the time frame that is acceptable to them.Bottom line the party is over, you will be unable to get any more speed from your PC.The only alternative is get a new ISP or dsl or broadband or anything except what you got,that is only if you feel the need for speed.......sorry it looks like for you it doesn't get any better~~~the good news is you are welcome to test and post even tell your friends to visit, but plain and simple your connection just wont go any faster.. x microwave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaWDiZ Posted January 23, 2004 Author CID Share Posted January 23, 2004 I don't want to go dsl or cable speed i just want to get the most out of it.Is it tha whole isp because i'm with bellsouth or can i change the number and see what will happen from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MICROWAVE Posted January 23, 2004 CID Share Posted January 23, 2004 changing your number will have no affect on your line,they will be using the same two copper wires to take your connection from your computer to wherever,Once again you are stuck with what you have as long as you keep the same connection.There are many things causing your low speed.....distance to the C.O. etc..etc........sorry if anyone has any other solution they will post~~~~ so like I said keep coming back,but I can not offer any other fixes.

lorne Posted January 24, 2004 CID Share Posted January 24, 2004 RaWDIZ Don't know what area you live in, but from what i've heard and read get cable from cox. They are the best If you have any questions about cox post them and CA3LE will be able to answer them. He works for cox cable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
