Sparticus Posted November 25, 2006 CID Share Posted November 25, 2006 Welcome to the forum Dragonbreak! (If I haven't all ready) Your speeds look fine to me! Comcast if having major problems with their upload. I would reccomend you use TCP Optimizer. Which can be found here: https://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php and here: http://www.testmy.net/forum/t-1013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonbreak Posted November 25, 2006 Author CID Share Posted November 25, 2006 Hey thanks for the warm welcome Sparticus, but I've been here for quite some time; I'm quite a bit of a lurker lol .. Also, i have TCP Optimizer DLed but I don't know which setting I should use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted November 26, 2006 CID Share Posted November 26, 2006 What are your advertised speeds first Dragonbreak. I would set the dial just a bit faster than what your advertised speed is. Then after a couple of days I would switch it every couple of days til I got it maximized. It takes 2-3 days to fully allow the settings to settle down. Say about 18,000 to start. And sometimes it helps to go lower than advertised. By the way very nice speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonbreak Posted November 27, 2006 Author CID Share Posted November 27, 2006 Hey guys, I was just messing around with my cablenut settings and I forgot which one I used to obtain the 17mbs DL speed like the above post. Now, I'm only getting about 2-9 mbs DL speed and it's really inconsistnent ..Any ideas on what I should do to get this back on track? Also, Tommie, It seems as if ave comcast rating *according to testmy.net* is 5526 kbps. Im not sure what exactly Comcast is advertising but yeah ..

tommie gorman Posted November 27, 2006 CID Share Posted November 27, 2006 Dragonbreak this may sound weird but try cleaning out your temp files and defragment your harddrive. It helps me sometimes. It opens for me also. Did not see a second page. *crawls back under his bush and waits* Have we covered spyware and normal maintenance?
