Shane Briley Posted August 12, 2006 CID Share Posted August 12, 2006 I'm running Centurytel DSL/Netopia modem(they suppiled). Windows XP Home(SP2) Your connection is: 264 Kbps or 0.26 Mbps You Downloaded at: 32 kB/s You are running: 5 times faster than 56K and can Download 1 megabyte in 32 second(s) Member Ident: CompID:1899372010647 Test Time:: 2006/08/12 - 9:37am Test Browser and OS info: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; Maxthon) Test ID: 00TKY3869 (if this is a screenshot go to testmy.net to see if this is fake) Diagnosis ^info^: May need help : running at only 16.8 % of your hosts average (centurytel.net) This was tested from a 1075 kB file and took 33.344 seconds to complete My problem is, I have a slow download rate. I was somewhere around 11 to 12kB/s. I power cycled the pc and the modem, spy swept it and all that good stuff and it pushed me up too around 30/32 kB/s. So is there anyway I can tweak my connection some more, too way more of a faster speed ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted August 12, 2006 CID Share Posted August 12, 2006 Welcome to the forum Shane Briley Have you read to see if it is fully clean? http://www.testmy.net/forum/t-4257 And look here for a tweak, TCP Optimizer or cablenut. http://www.testmy.net/forum/t-1013 Also what is your advertised speeds? And your connection type. DSL, cable, satelite, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Briley Posted August 12, 2006 Author CID Share Posted August 12, 2006 DSL is my connection as i stated in the first post and yes my pc is clean, also tried those TCP Optimizers and CableNut. With no seen improvement in speed. Also I believe my advertised speed is something like 256/146. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I believe my advertised speed is something like 256/146. if your advertised is 256/146kbps then your fine your not going to get any better till you upgrade the connection.

tommie gorman Posted August 12, 2006 CID Share Posted August 12, 2006 "Your connection is: 264 Kbps or 0.26 Mbps" is over your cap of 256, and very good for DSL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
