keef Posted January 21, 2005 CID Share Posted January 21, 2005 Hi all I've just stumbled across this site earlier this morning (while I was trying to figure out the conversion ration between Kbps and Mbps). After playing around for a while it seems that you guys are very, very skilled in getting the most out of broadband connections. I'm in the UK and am using a cable modem on NTL. The speed is 750k. After running the tests, these are the results I'm getting:- :::.. Download Stats ..::: Connection is:: 766 Kbps about 0.8 Mbps (tested with 2992 KB) Download Speed is:: 94 KB/s Tested From:: http://www.testmy.net/ Bottom Line:: 14 times faster than 56K you can download 1MB in 10.89 second(s) Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/cgi-bin/get.cgi?Test_ID=SO9LG81MX http://ttester.broadbandreports.com/tweak/block:327af81?service=cable&speed=750&os=winXP&via=normal Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] © Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

C:> To be honest, most of the above makes absolutely NO SENSE to me whatsoever. But, I'm hoping that someone out there can interpret this and make my BB connection a bit faster. If I've missed out anything here then I apologise in advance. As I said, I'm very new to this (and this is my first post!) so it's all a bit confusing. Many thanks for any help you can give me.

VanBuren Posted January 21, 2005 CID Share Posted January 21, 2005 yea i also dont think there is anything more to do, what is your upload cap and what is the speed? VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keef Posted January 21, 2005 Author CID Share Posted January 21, 2005 Well, it's good to know that I'm pretty much running at maximum. I guess NTL in the UK ain't so bad after all!! One thing though - I did, ehem, "muck about" with CableNut and amended the registry and now I'm getting:- :::.. Download Stats ..::: Connection is:: 715 Kbps about 0.7 Mbps (tested with 2992 KB) Download Speed is:: 87 KB/s Tested From:: http://www.testmy.net/ Bottom Line:: 13 times faster than 56K you can download 1MB in 11.77 second(s) Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/cgi-bin/get.cgi?Test_ID=AWFKXPQI4 I (stupidly) didn't back up the original files, so is there something I can do to get my 87KB/s back up into the 90's as p[er my first report?? It was stupid, I know, but when you're "tweaking" you sometimes get a little over zealous and thing like this happen (or is that just me??) BTW, thanks for the welcome. What a great forum!!

VanBuren Posted January 21, 2005 CID Share Posted January 21, 2005 open cablenut adjuster, click delete cablenut tweaks + click save to registry download the attached Cable & DSL 1000 128,zip and unzip it to C:ProgramCablenut in top left corner, click file, click load custom settings file, browse to C:ProgramCablenut dubbleclick on Cable & DSL 1000 128.ccs click save to registry and reboot also reboot your modem and router, leave it off for 30 sec make a new tweaktest and speedtest good luck VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
