pyrofirewizard Posted September 30, 2006 CID Share Posted September 30, 2006 Yes, I have been reading the other forums, but I was wondering what exactly may slow down a connection. Here are my test results: Upload Your connection is: 243 Kbps or 0.24 Mbps You Uploaded at: 30 kB/s You are running: 4 times faster than 56K and can Upload 1 megabyte in 34.13 second(s) Member Ident:Username:pyrofirewizard Test Time:: 2006/09/30 - 8:51am Test Browser and OS info: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/418.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/419.3 Test ID: 8PNYEKZI3 (if this is a screenshot go to testmy.net to see if this is fake) Diagnosis ^info^: May need help : running at only 30.41 % of your hosts average (verizon.net) This was tested from a 579 kB file and took 19.55424 seconds to complete Download Your connection is: 1411 Kbps or 1.41 Mbps You Downloaded at: 172 kB/s You are running: 25 times faster than 56K and can Download 1 megabyte in 5.95 second(s) Test Time:: 2006/09/30 - 8:53am Test Browser and OS info: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/418.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/419.3 Test ID: 70UNBHZ1J (if this is a screenshot go to testmy.net to see if this is fake) Diagnosis ^info^: May need help : running at only 23.34 % of your hosts average (verizon.net) This was tested from a 1496 kB file and took 8.688 seconds to complete I'm paying about 30 dollars a month, using Westell 2200 and Verizon. Any ideas, help, redirections to another forum I may have missed? Thanks. (I'm new so if I did something wrong please don't be harsh. I do not intend to break any rules of the forum) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
water Posted September 30, 2006 CID Share Posted September 30, 2006 A lot of things can slow down your speeds. Instant Messengers Firewalls Streaming video or audio Spyware Adware Unneeded programs running Downloading something else Virus' Temporary Internet Files To get a TRUE picture of what may be a background problem, try running a dual test without anything else (that you can see) running at the same time, then diagnose it backwards from there. And you didn't break any rules We aren't rule nazi's around here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrofirewizard Posted September 30, 2006 Author CID Share Posted September 30, 2006 Some information: 1. OS: Mac OS X 10.4.8 and a Windows XP With the latest software and updates. 2. Internet Service Provider (ISP): Verizon. I have a Westell 2200 and pay about 30 dollars a month for internet connection 3. No Tweaking Programs yet. Broadband Optimizer is broken (the link is broken, or the download. You see the page but the download doesn't work).

Windows 9x might also need the MS Vtcp386 fix. For optimum performance, consider changing RWIN to a multiple of MSS.

I have a firewall (router with ports forwarded) 12. No viruses Remember I use windows and a mac on a router. Even if i disconnect one from the network the results are the same on the tests. I don't use an inexpensive package from my ISP. So I should have a pretty high speed conection, but I only use about 30-50% of the host. If you need more information just ask .

tommie gorman Posted September 30, 2006 CID Share Posted September 30, 2006 In all of that I did not see where you posted your advertised speeds. What the provider said you could expect from it for speeds. As for " I only use about 30-50% of the host. " This only pertains to what an average speed would be of all the packages from your Internet provider. So you cannot ever go by that! Hope this helped.
