FallowEarth Posted July 13, 2006 CID Share Posted July 13, 2006 [from the STICKY] Please run this test and this ping and trace program. Are you using a router? Clean your system of spyware. Try this online scan (Win 2K/XP only): www.ewido.net/en/onlinescan Temporarily disable all non-system-critical software in order to accurately test your speed. The best way to do this is to disable them from startup and reboot your PC. Software indicated includes: Firewall, Antivirus, Antispyware, Instant Messenger, Peer-to-Peer applications, Torrent clients, System Diagnostic Software, Bandwidth/Download Managers, Browser Toolbars/Extensions, Updaters, etc. Download and install Cablenut. Once it is installed, try some of the custom files I have attached, check out VanBuren's whole collection, or create your own. After each time you open a file, click "Save to registry" in the adjuster window, reboot your computer to apply the changes, and try another speedtest. Be sure to keep your software configuration the same, and test from the same mirror, in order to keep your results as accurate as possible.
