Inquisitor Posted March 12, 2004 CID Share Posted March 12, 2004 Hi, fellas.. OK, here goes -- One week ago, I visited this site, and many others, testing my bandwidth. Now, since having used the SB5100 for the new digital line the cable company installed (for internet and cabletv), I was getting 4000 mbps on bandwidth tests -- highest being 4700; now, previous to the SB5100, I had a SB3100. I immediately experienced a two-fold increase in bandwidth with the SB5100 Then, on Sunday, it suddenly dropped to below 2000 mbps. Coincidentally or not, this happened after I did some major, or minor, depending on your definition, tinkering. My question to you is; was this decrease in bandwidth due to the cable company instituting their 2 mbps caps (and they somehow noticed I was cruising at incredible speeds... sometimes experiencing 1 MB bursts, when downloading) -- or, did I mess something up? Looking forward to your responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inquisitor Posted March 12, 2004 Author CID Share Posted March 12, 2004 Hi, lorne I used the TCP Optimizer, and yes, failed to backup my registry. In addition, I modified 'All Network Adapters'. I was messing around with the RWIN / MTU, and everything else. (can't help myself) Is it possible, that when I modified 'all network adapters', it somehow brought attention to my connection?

lorne Posted March 13, 2004 CID Share Posted March 13, 2004 Unless you were downloading a lot i doubt you called attention to your Conn. It is more likely you changed something in your reg that slowed you down. I bet you will remember to back up your reg from now on eh You will have to keep playing until you get your speeds back.
