The problem i have is i should be able to download and upload way faster it says i have the bandwidth and i have a good wifi network card . heres my info i hope this is enough to get some input also my speeds no matter what will not go above 170 kbps download which makes gaming not possible this is one showing <snip> I forgot to read the RULES and a Moderator edited my post! heres the info i got from your site :::.. Download Stats ..::: Download Connection is:: 1464 Kbps about 1.5 Mbps (tested with 1536 kB) Download Speed is:: 179 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (Main) Test Time:: 2009/11/02 - 8:12pm Bottom Line:: 26X faster than 56K 1MB Download in 5.72 sec Tested from a 1536 kB file and took 8.593 seconds to complete Download Diagnosis:: Awesome! 20% + : 133.49 % faster than the average for host (221.9) D-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-AFP8XT13V User Agent:: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Zune 4.0) [!] see it says that my download speed is 1.5mbs per second , but it also says my download speed is 174kbps im confused why cant i go higher???????????? thanks!

coknuck Posted November 3, 2009 CID Share Posted November 3, 2009 Welcome to the forum. Here is a conversion chart. http://www.testmy.net/tools/convert.php A kilobit per second (kbit/s or kb/s or kbps) is a unit of data transfer rate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted November 3, 2009 CID Share Posted November 3, 2009 First thing here, a T1 line is a very consistent dedicated line directly from the nearest backbone, it's perfect for such places as a hotel, or a small business. Each user will be able to obtain the same speeds, without waiver. Generally, a T1(DSL) line such as your speaking of, will range from 256 Kbps -1.5, my thoughts are one of the two, there's something not quite configured properly withing the modem / router, or ithe connection isn't really a T1, it's a ISDN line, (two DS0 lines ) only thing is , this might be a fiber line Vs. a copper, because a copper would be 128 Kbps. Can you find out the ISP, and what the line terminates into, is it a "transformer " or a modem type ? Are there phone lines that run withing a switch ? Or are the phones separate. Depending on the age, this could easily be VoIP, maybe Cisco equipment Nortel, many others. Find out what you can about the devices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssj_408 Posted November 3, 2009 Author CID Share Posted November 3, 2009 its t1 heres my provider cbeyond communications im pretty sure we get phones through them also we use a server connected to a switch , and router , wireless for our customers not a hard connection im going to be honest with you me and the owner for a while have been under the impression that they may have our speed per i.p. capped , if thats the case then we are going to ditch em server runs xp , i dont know what cisco or nortel is thank u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssj_408 Posted November 3, 2009 Author CID Share Posted November 3, 2009 i did a little checking we use a cisco system , voip , data and phone , i have no idea what this stuff is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it doesn't work like that with a fractional T1. The lines get what they get by the mathematics of it. its t1 heres my provider cbeyond communications im pretty sure we get phones through them also we use a server connected to a switch , and router , wireless for our customers not a hard connection im going to be honest with you me and the owner for a while have been under the impression that they may have our speed per i.p. capped , if thats the case then we are going to ditch em server runs xp , i dont know what cisco or nortel is thank u Well you have to understand the way this type of connection works, it is "capped" were all capped in a sense. You can only get a certain amount of bandwidth with a T1, now when they install it, as a rule, there are more lines run, for obvious future upgrade options, there very well may be 24 lines run, if it was done standard, then the connections possibilities could be up to 1.5 something Mbps. This might cost near $1000.00 and upwards per month. The cost might be close to that now, but chances are, it's between $350.00 and 500. a month for that connection. But it is needed for if, and when users want to use it on a full saturday night. There may be other options in your area, like having a cable ISP set up a "hotspot" contract. But without the type of connection you have now, unless there's a decent provoder in the area, and you get a full house and there trying to use it, then forget it. But as you said, no one really uses it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudmanc4 Posted November 3, 2009 CID Share Posted November 3, 2009 Unlike other connections such as standard DSL , cable, dial up, this type of connection is very specific to bandwidth. Here's a reference, * DS0 - 64 k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggr3 Posted November 3, 2009 CID Share Posted November 3, 2009 I guess I fail to see the real concern here.....hitting 100% of a capped line is not often done. Your running at 1464 of the 1500 that your alloted. The difference is 36 bits......that divided by 8 (which is a byte) is equal to 4.5 bytes.....or 4.5 caractors per sec. Kbs = kilo BITS per sec kBs = kilo BYTES per sec Bytes are 8 times bigger than bites So your 179 times 8 = 1432 Kbs.......still not a whole lot to worry about there....but that's just MY opinion.... Oh yeah....1500Kbs does = 1.5 Mbs.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted November 3, 2009 CID Share Posted November 3, 2009 Actually if you figure in about 10% overhead he is over cap! You never can control a switch, router or traffic on a backbone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssj_408 Posted November 3, 2009 Author CID Share Posted November 3, 2009 well thank you i guess i have a good connection then.....guess t1 is just not what im used to had 10mbps (i hope i got that right ) per cox communications before i think i understand a little better thank u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
