i got pldt dsl plan 999 with advertise speed of 1mbps

i already did the vista tweak and it did not do good on me.

I got Vista and I never could make it run any faster. Its not like XP where you can change the stack to let it except or send internet faster. Vista is a whole different thing.

Welcome to the forum.

Thanks for the warm welcome  been here for a while but this is my first post i only read other post

so i have to format my pc again and return to xp?

.25Mbps is not very reasonable speed compared to its advertise speed

Cablenut and the other speed up programs work much better with XP. Good luck and happy to have you as a member.

Yep, Vista is a real "drag" .......... on the connection speed.

I do not agree with Vista being an issue, I have 3.0/1.5 Mbit and I am downloading up to 3.5 on a good day, 3.3 on a normal day and my machine is vista.

I am also at the furthest point on my loop, you may want to check a few things first.

(1) Your filter is on the phone and NOT on your DSL modem.

(2) Check your phone line for noise, pick up the phone, dial 1 and listen for crackles and weird noises, report to phone company if so.

(3) Plug your modem direct into the box on the outside of the house, check your results.

(4) Check for Virus and spyware on your computer.

(5) The last thing, check your line loop length, your DSL/PHONE company should be able to inform you by doing a line test on their end.

Also, who is the DSL company, do you know your loop length? how many phones plugged into your phone line? you should have no more then REN (Ringing Equivalence Number) of 4, 4 phones with a REN of 1, 3 phones and an answer phone could = 4, noise from lighting, motors, microwaves and so on could affect your signal.

If they are stating you should get 1Mbit, then call them and have someone come out and do more tests, if they say you should get it, then by all accounts you should be able to.

Good luck, keep us informed.

Everyone thanks for the reply as of now my internet connection is ok

i ask a friend from PLDT to help me out, since he is working in the same branch where my line is connected, he said he changed my port number i dont know what he means about that.

@ sparky

Dealing with PLDT's technical support is the worst experience in my life, but thanks for the information you provided i might be needing this someday.
