megatronic Posted May 15, 2005 CID Share Posted May 15, 2005 Please note it is AOL im dealing with here. They did that lame "free double speed thing". So yea, my 256 was upgraded n i was downloading at 55kbs....for a while. Now its back down to below 30 and the tech guy said this is maximum and treated me like im stupid.

I used to have aol dial-up for one month before I got cable. When I cancelled the aol service, they kept on telling me to stay as custemor, I said I'd pass, and a month later they call me again and offer me 3 months free to join aol again, I refused and told them to stop calling me, and told them I already had a internet service provider, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megatronic Posted May 16, 2005 Author CID Share Posted May 16, 2005 Im on DSL type thing, using the modem that came with the AOL pack. Someone said it may have been my phone company putting a cap on my line making it 256 (would explain the max of 30kbs download)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xs1 Posted May 16, 2005 CID Share Posted May 16, 2005 Stay on topic guys.. 512 - 60 kbs down constant 256 - 31kbs down constant To anwser your question, im guessing they did half your connection. . but it still wouldnt hurt to try cablenut tweaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mactron Posted May 16, 2005 CID Share Posted May 16, 2005 Im on DSL type thing, using the modem that came with the AOL pack. Someone said it may have been my phone company putting a cap on my line making it 256 I'm not sure if they still do it. Back a couple years ago the AOL, Earthlink types just resold the local Telco DSL. Most Telcos cap the Resellers DSL at lower rates than their own DSL. No way to increase speed due to contracts between the Telco and reseller(s). Not sure if they do that with resold Covad. The only way usually is to get the Telcos full speed DSL is to drop the reseller, (AOL in this case) and sign up with the local Telco.
