Not sure where to start. Any help would be fantastic and appreciated. *Edit* I'm using XP I use a router My ISP is Cogeco cable I've tried to plug it directly into the modem and my speeds are still bad. I've checked out both these links https://testmy.net/forum/t-2097 http://www.testmy.net/forum/t-3924.0 I want to try out Cablenut but don't want to mess up my computer or my internet connection. I guess I could really use some help with it. Fr0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derek22x Posted February 17, 2008 CID Share Posted February 17, 2008 Maybe there's a lot of cable subscribers on your area already...? Interference on the co-ax cable will also result in slow speeds or interference on the cable modem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fr0 Posted February 17, 2008 Author CID Share Posted February 17, 2008 One thing to note, I've had 4 tech appointments made (2 didn't show or call) and the 2 that showed up, one said they didn't know and would come back (and never did) and the last one said it was probably an issue because they were upgrading analog to digital in this area and it might be a year. I called tech support and he said it sounds like the tech fed me a bunch of crap. My roomate also has a DSL connection in this apartment, I've tried to connect to that and I don't seem to get much better speeds.. I guess it could be a computer issue.

derek22x Posted February 17, 2008 CID Share Posted February 17, 2008 Have you tried other computer on that connection? Any other ISP on your area? Where are you located by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fr0 Posted February 17, 2008 Author CID Share Posted February 17, 2008 Southwestern Ontario, Canada. My roomate is getting like 10mbps on this ISP and 5 on the other one. Think I'm headed out tomorrow to get a new PC, any last minute suggestions before I do that? Perhaps formatting.. but that's such a bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derek22x Posted February 17, 2008 CID Share Posted February 17, 2008 Probably you can do that but if you think the best thing to do is get a new rig then go for it. You mean on the same line? Or your roommate is on another line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fr0 Posted February 17, 2008 Author CID Share Posted February 17, 2008 You mean on the same line? Or your roommate is on another line? I tried being hte only one connected, and connecting through a router with him. He still gets godly speeds, (even better once he got a new pc) Gonna go check out a few today.
