g1nked Posted November 7, 2006 CID Share Posted November 7, 2006 Dear Fellow Broadbanders, As on the second of November my isp insightbb implemented a speed increase from 4 Mbs to 10 Mbs and increased the upload also which was 384 now I believe it is 1Mb. As you can imagine I am happier than Muhammad Ali at a martini shaking contest. My problem is that I cant get a consistent speed score to save my life and I am only pulling 1Mb scores when before "the upgrade" I would consistently get the same score which was 3.8 out of 4Mb all the time. Now i get 1.1 five times in a row then i may get a 8.8 or even 9.1 score. I have called my isp and they said on their side my RCA modem showed a super connection so they will have to send a tech out to investigate further. I wonder if anyone here has any suggestion/ solutions i could try until the tech gets out here. I have xp pro with sp2 and all my latest drivers for my linksys router and so on. Any more information could be provided if it will help just ask please. Thanks for reading this and taking time to respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I can tell you right off the bat is that, I have not heard good things from the RCA modem. I was just posting to a topic about someone who was getting horrible speeds with and RCA modem. Another thing have you tried tweaking? Try this cablebut tweak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted November 7, 2006 CID Share Posted November 7, 2006 Welcome to the forum g1nked. I've noticed since the upgrade there are time when it gets really slow. I think a lot of the problem is going through Level3 ln Atlanta. Have you tried the Beta site Insight has? Beta site: http://74.128.14.17/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommie gorman Posted November 7, 2006 CID Share Posted November 7, 2006 Aww man, access denied. Man someone needs to tell them about that great TMN site I heard so much about. "Access Not Allowed! Sorry, but access to Insight Broadband's speed test servers are restricted to our customers only! If you wish to test your speeds, you can try out one of these other speed test sites: Broadband Reports Bandwidth Place Toast.net Google entries for "Speed Test" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g1nked Posted November 7, 2006 Author CID Share Posted November 7, 2006 well so far it seems that the only time i get a decent speed is after midnight. I did try that insight link and got 8mbs which is closer to 10 that insight now offers. During the day though the scores go way way down like to 1mb speeds. Can anyone suggest a superb brand of modem? or top of the line? The DCM425 is the model insight leases me currently. Would the person who posted the cable tweak elaborate more on what that file does exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted November 7, 2006 CID Share Posted November 7, 2006 Would the person who posted the cable tweak elaborate more on what that file does exactly? It is supposed to tweak your internet connection for any speed that you are having trouble receiving. You might actually try the TCP Optimizer as it is a little easier to maneuver. http://www.testmy.net/forum/t-1013 Anyway the instructions for both are in here. Good luck.

tommie gorman Posted November 15, 2006 CID Share Posted November 15, 2006 I understand the link you put up, but how does that tie in with the post?? What does "As you can imagine I am happier than Muhammad Ali at a martini shaking contest." got to do with "Parkinson's Disease" Or are you just trying to get attention to your plight. I just don't see where you are coming from. g1nked just appears to only be happy about his scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Fellow Broadbander", indeed. Mike Falcone Dear Mike, I apologize for the comment if it offended you in any way. Now if you want to flame go elsewhere because I didnt notice any input towards the question you just took time out to say I hurt your feelings. Well boo hoo hoo now get on with life and promote your awareness somewhere else. Muhammad Ali chose to fight and that is a result of his choices. I didnt mention or insult anyone that has no choice in the matter so move on and dont cloud this help post with your Florence Nightingale flames. I am a disabled Veteran that fought for mine and your right to say what ever I damn well please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rlanham Posted November 16, 2006 CID Share Posted November 16, 2006 If you are a newbit to tweaking, Download and run TCP Optimizer. Move the slider over to 8500, click optimal settings lower right hand corner, click apply changes, notice if the old value new value changes, then click ok to apply changes and reboot.
