b/s dsl speed with 2 computers


forrest

Recommended Posts

hey I have the bellsouth 3.0 dsl should my speeds slow down to around 1 mbs or less when both computers are downloading something? (we have two side by side, hard wired router) My speeds are not what they used to be, I`m aslo having slower speeds ( slalls out irratically, ) when test is first started it is fast then falls flat on it`s face,  as test is running, sometimes jumping around, I`ve also disconnected the router and used just the modem for one computer, same thing as far as melting down during the tests. I use the testmy.net and speakeasy. I`m using the westell 6100 modom, ethernet connector, did`nt used to have this problem until about 3 weeks ago. I was hitting above the 3.0, sometimes getting 3.2 ect... what`s up ? Thanx!

Under my connections it says I`m using lan or high speed, local area connections realtech ethernet, no mention of a b/s modem ect... is my modem installed correctly? I cant` seem to download any upgrades to it

dont do the update wizard just download the file and do the manual update.

look on the bottom of your modem if the model number starts with B9xxxxxxxx use this firmware http://www.fastaccess.drivers.bellsouth.net/firmware/B90-610030_VER_3_06_02.upg

if it starts with C9xxxxxxx use this one http://www.fastaccess.drivers.bellsouth.net/firmware/C90-610030_VER_3_06_02.upg

update then post a speed test.

I meant to say that when I try to install the upgrade it says besides the word "failed" "no westell modem installed"  and on the bottom of the page (summary) it says" your modem does`nt require a firmware upgrade" ??? Thanx for your help, you`ve helped me before!

I usually get around 2.5, unless the other computer is downloading something , then it`s about 1.2 or less, when I used the speakeasy/testmy before this happened, my results were great and it did`nt hang up like this, with the speakeasy you can watch the needle fall back alot as it`s working, starts off nearly pegged at around 2.9 then falls back to 1.5 or less then tries to climb back up, sometimes making it to 2.7 but usually alot less, especially if the other computer is working

when the other computer is downloading something then its going to slow down everything. if your getting 2.5 then your fine.
