soggyrice Posted July 20, 2006 Author CID Share Posted July 20, 2006 I tried connecting the computer directly to the internet(so I can find the true speed), but it couldn't get a default gateway. Maybe there's a setting in my modem for "bridged ethernet"? I am using an ARRIS cable modem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted July 20, 2006 CID Share Posted July 20, 2006 soggyrice you wre really close to your advertised speed. have you tried tweaking your connection at all yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soggyrice Posted July 20, 2006 Author CID Share Posted July 20, 2006 No I haven't tweaked my connection yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallowEarth Posted July 20, 2006 CID Share Posted July 20, 2006 Looks like you are on the 7/512 connection. If so, you're very close to cap. Try downloading the 50MB file from http://test.tampabay.rr.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soggyrice Posted July 20, 2006 Author CID Share Posted July 20, 2006 I didn't know that 400 less than advertised was very close to cap. (<<not sarcastic remark) Can I get any better speeds by tweaking? I'm consistently getting around 6.5Mbps. Oh and what do I do with the 50Mb file? thanks for the quick responses guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted July 20, 2006 CID Share Posted July 20, 2006 Oh and what do I do with the 50Mb file? download the file and tell us what speed you got when your around 30-40mb compleated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soggyrice Posted July 20, 2006 Author CID Share Posted July 20, 2006 It ended up around 870-880 KB/sec. The speed was still dropping, but only by ones though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallowEarth Posted July 20, 2006 CID Share Posted July 20, 2006 It ended up around 870-880 KB/sec. The speed was still dropping, but only by ones though. So we'll say 875 KB/sec. 875 * 8.192 =7168 Kbps You're right on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm consistently getting around 6.5Mbps. You have to keep in mind the the Testmy.net server you're testing from is hosted in Dallas, TX, where the files from test.tampabay.rr.com are hosted, like, down the road from you. This means that you will have a better/shorter route, which necessitates that you will have higher download speeds. This is why we have test mirrors. Hey, wanna host one?
