fr0stbound Posted September 23, 2007 CID Share Posted September 23, 2007 @Azgauth - looks like you have a lot of video converting programs. do you need all 4? i am assuming that ImTOO you have is also the video converting one. also, i think those ascentive programs are paid programs. do you use them?

coolbuster2007 Posted September 23, 2007 Author CID Share Posted September 23, 2007 @Azgauth i think i found the culprits. i suggest you look for other anti virus and anti spyware programs. uninstall your traffic shaping software. A. during startup, the perfect trio which should be running : 1) avast 2) spyware terminator 3) comodo firewall pro they're freeware. B. during speedtests, only these should be running: 1) avast 2) comodo firewall pro 3) internet explorer/firefox nothing else. oh btw. in case you have installed, check back your cablenut adjuster setting coz cFosSpeed might have changed a value or two. just try and you will see the difference.

deoxyna Posted September 24, 2007 CID Share Posted September 24, 2007 hello everyone! i really admire the patience and efforts you've been doing guys, especially coolbuster, to speedup your Smart Bobo connections. You see, i've been a subscriber of this service even before it was acquired by smart from meridian telekoms. have done every tweaks posted in this forum. i must admit that most tweaks, if not all, will optimize your throughput, but, the speed of the connection really depends on the status of the BTS, and the status of the whole Smart network infrastructure. i dont intend to discourage anyone regarding tweaking 'coz it really helps. what i want to point out is, without any change in your pcs configuration, as long as the BTS where you're homed is configured properly and have enough bandwidth capacity to deliver the advertised max speed of the service, you will get a very good speed test result from this site. coolbuster, dude, ur cool man and you;re doing a great job with this post. thanks. peace.

Im thinking twice bout uninstalling it... @azgauth were those malwares and worms detected only when you installed avast? you have a similar case with lapako, one of tmn members, with regards to speed. truly, viruses, tojans and spywares slow down your speed. i advised him to back up personal files and installers, then contact a technician to reformat his pc. i recommend you do the same. @ SiraComputer VLC Player is an excellent freeware. the adware might have overwritten Azgauth's Video Lan and make it appear as a legitimate program.

jun101ph Posted September 25, 2007 CID Share Posted September 25, 2007 TO SPEED UP YOUR SMARTBRO INTERNET SPEED, LOOK FOR A BETTER ACCESS POINTS / BASE STATIONS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azgauth Posted September 25, 2007 CID Share Posted September 25, 2007 how? I believe Im already in contact with the best (uh whut?) base station available... my canopy reads abot 0.2 miles from a base station, jitter of about 1-2 and RSSI of about 1220... the next color code sports a jitter of 3-4 and rssi of about 600-700...

Factors like network congestions, overloaded base station could also slow down your internet speed. You have to understand the difference between good internet connection and high internet speed. You can have good internet connection( the microwave link) to the base station but still having a slow internet speed. Or you can have a high internet speed but with not so good internet connection.

jun101ph Posted September 25, 2007 CID Share Posted September 25, 2007 To summarize, you will select from the different access points / base stations and choose which one will give you the best result/ internet speed. ( conduct speed test every successful transfer a base station) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
