jakekills Posted October 4, 2008 CID Share Posted October 4, 2008 Well heres my problem, i just recently upgraded my internet from my crappy 56k to a 3 meg connection from verizon but what really pissed me off is that instead of getting the speed of around 300 kilo per second im averaging about below 50 kilo per second now and my latency went way high up! My old internet though averaged about 70-90 kilobytes per second and rarely drops down below 50 witch made me really happy and now i though i was going to be really happy because i thought i was going to be downloading much faster than i did between my old connection and new one. Does anyone know any good tweaks for me though i know i still have to give you a little bit more information but if anyone thinks they can help me just post it how here.

mudmanc4 Posted October 4, 2008 CID Share Posted October 4, 2008 With DSL ( I assume you have now ) it takes a week or so to stabilize. Are you in contact with Verizon about this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakekills Posted October 4, 2008 Author CID Share Posted October 4, 2008 yes ihave and we have had the internet for a fewmonths now but nothing has changed? do you need any info to help me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianonline Posted October 4, 2008 CID Share Posted October 4, 2008 yes ihave and we have had the internet for a fewmonths now but nothing has changed? do you need any info to help me? i believe it is with the line.. the line is too noisy. like scratches and stuff. or maybe the line where you are connected is too old causing high latency.. i know that it needs few days to stabilize but if it's more that a month then i think you need to go and inform them and... ask for a rebate! welcome to TMN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have to take care of the line inside the house, unless it's paid for in the phone bill. Before asking for rebates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudmanc4 Posted October 5, 2008 CID Share Posted October 5, 2008 Like Ianonline said, i would dare to bet that the issue lies in your lines , I'm sure right there in your house, or apt. Sure looks like you have everything in order, and being that your neibor is doing ok, then it goes to say that it must be a inside line issue. Might want to have that looked at. Or better yet, trace the lines and see where they connect, make sure they all have good insulation, and good connections. It also could be in the line from the pole .

jakekills Posted October 5, 2008 Author CID Share Posted October 5, 2008 Agreed, only you have to think, if in fact the issue is the line, which it most likely is, (after a month or more ) , then if it's in there line, or in the house / Apt. line. They don't have to take care of the line inside the house, unless it's paid for in the phone bill. Before asking for rebates. Ok but if it a line issue one thier end not my end how would i report it? and rebate goes through a contract? my mom says we cant get a rebate because of the contract and i dont think its a line issue on my end because the verizon people came here 4 times checking everything up. Also i did a speed test and my average speed is around 70 kilobytes, no not even that my speed keeps jumping around every second making downloads seem forever. Oh and if your going to answer this please also answer what tweak i should use for Vanburens cablenut tweaks i believe the post i put with my info in it should give you the needed info on answering the question and if it isnt well i can give you more information oh and thank you i think im going to love being apart of testmy.net so many of my internet questions can be answered Edit: uh mudmanc what do you mean by tracing the lines, seeing where they connect and all have good insulation and connections, im going to see if i have the latest firmware right now too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitzkrieg468 Posted October 5, 2008 CID Share Posted October 5, 2008 one thing you can try if your neighbor is willing, ask him to hook his tower up at your place and see what speed he gets. If he still gets a good speed then it could be your eithernet card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
