Swimmer Posted February 11, 2004 CID Share Posted February 11, 2004 I think that local service is the best! Most of the smaller services dont have many people on them so they are faster then say AOL... However, they dont have all the cool little extras. Local can run between $10-20 per month. You also might be limited on how much time you have online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaWDiZ Posted February 11, 2004 Author CID Share Posted February 11, 2004 I Just want something that has unlimited minutes and just a reliable connection,but the real thing i'm just trying to see is if my connection speed will be higher,my ping time can be lowered,and just other things in general to see if it is my dial-up service that has a problem or my computer.

Swimmer Posted February 11, 2004 CID Share Posted February 11, 2004 it is going to be your dial up service with the problem.... No questions asked. Try a local service for a month and see what the ping times are going to be.. they might lower but you will not see much of an improvement in online gaming...dial up is just to slow to.

RaWDiZ Posted February 12, 2004 Author CID Share Posted February 12, 2004 Oh Yeah i forgot to tell u that i did see improvements in my computer when i used cablenut with diffrent settings from tweakxp.com,dr.tweak.com,broadbandnuts.com and other places,so i wanted to know what are some of tha best settings for dial-up.ThAnKz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted February 13, 2004 CID Share Posted February 13, 2004 cablenut.... Ok as far as tweaking the connection itself you might want to check out this website http://www.tweakxp.com/tweak2080.aspx. It has a bunch of setting that should improve the stability and speed of the 56k connection. I have not tried any of these tweaks so I have no idea if they work or not. Good luck! Let us know what happens! If you are on AOL dont even waste your time with this artical!! It will not help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaWDiZ Posted February 13, 2004 Author CID Share Posted February 13, 2004 Yeah Pimp, this is one of the guides that i used but i really cant say that it worked 100% because i didn't know what sub-folder i should put the registry tweak into.So if u could look at it and get back at cha boy with what folders should put them in it would help.ThAnKz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted February 13, 2004 CID Share Posted February 13, 2004 Yeah i will look into it today! I know there is a program that will allow you to enter the values in a screen... just dont remember the name right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaWDiZ Posted February 13, 2004 Author CID Share Posted February 13, 2004 Aiight,good lookin pimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted February 14, 2004 CID Share Posted February 14, 2004 Ok it turn out that the program you want is cablenut for this app. Just enter the values into the respected boxes and you should be set. If you want a more accurate recieve window look at some of the articals that deal with rwin and tweaking connections. I dont think that this will help that much seeing that these numbers are based on an ideal setup. Most people will never experience 53.5 k much less any faster. Make sure that you have your motherboard and your com ports set to their max(s). You might also want to try a different browser!! Modzilla now known as Firefox is great for 56k users!! Just play around with this stuff!! Remember to back up you regestry before you start! Good Luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaWDiZ Posted February 14, 2004 Author CID Share Posted February 14, 2004 How do i set my motherboard and com ports to the max?And are u talking about tha com port number for the modem or the one under the communication folder,when u goto my computer>device manger>etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted February 14, 2004 CID Share Posted February 14, 2004 Yeah that is it. Now my com is not set up correctly for a 56k connection right now. Read that artical that I linked to in the other post. On the bottom there is a bunch of stuff for tweaking these settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmer Posted February 14, 2004 CID Share Posted February 14, 2004 Right from the artical Other important tweaks to improve your connection. Open your control panel and select the phone and modem properties icon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaWDiZ Posted February 15, 2004 Author CID Share Posted February 15, 2004 What site that has cablenut settings for 56k do u think will work for me the best or should i say which one do u trust the most.Because i have a bunch but i really say which one works the best.Also,what can i do to tell if tha cablenut settings worked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted February 15, 2004 CID Share Posted February 15, 2004 Run some speed tests to see which one is the best for you. Also dslreports.com has a tweak test that will give you the stability of your ping and a bunch of other numbers to help you tweak you connection.

RaWDiZ Posted February 15, 2004 Author CID Share Posted February 15, 2004 I don't the tweak test and speed test worked and was accurate because i have dial-up and all they had up there for me to select was broadband connections,Or does it really matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted February 15, 2004 CID Share Posted February 15, 2004 i thought they were also for dial up... they must have changed them. In that case just runs some speed tests here. start small and get the fastest speed you can get. Then up the file and make sure that you are still getting a decent speed.
