aoaudio Posted April 29, 2005 CID Share Posted April 29, 2005 I'm using Sprint, who uses Earthlink. My speed is supposed to be 3 Megs per second transfer speed. I've tried many speed tests and Sprint's test tells me i'm operating at 1.7 at the highest. Other test, and my personal experience by downloading things from the net tell me I'm running at 300kbps at the highest, but my average speed is between one and two hundred. I've tried what was suggested at speedguide.net but that doesn't work. Any information you need to help me out just make a list and I will provide info. I am much appreciative of any and all efforts. We can discuss gratuity in private. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepnklown Posted April 29, 2005 CID Share Posted April 29, 2005 Which Windows are you running? What type of system are you running (hardware)? What is your advertised upload? Are you using a router? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me it ain't the router. I'm not a "complete" fool but thanx for asking Now, Sprint is sending me a new modem, which I will hope to fix some speed. If that doesn't work there are some extremely minor line errors that may require a technician to come repair, but it is so minor that they don't think that is the problem. I've heard about a program called "Cable Nut" or "Cable Net", i'm not sure which, that someone was telling me did a world of difference for him. Ever heard of it? So what do you think the problem could be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepnklown Posted April 29, 2005 CID Share Posted April 29, 2005 I think many people have to learn that when you ask for help regarding a problem just answer each question honestly and don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
