Mactron Posted June 10, 2005 CID Share Posted June 10, 2005 Also i was wondering which stats do you guys trust most. one from this website or the one from the dsl modem. b/c my dsl modem shows something like this Down stream speed 3360kbits's upstream speed 864 kbits/s so whish one is more accurate. The Modem stats are provisioning stats. VZ over provisions in an attempt to "offset" if you will some of the inherent losses. The two stats will not match. Your measured numbers are a tad low. Have you tried any different test sites or some of the Mirror sites here that may be closer and more accurate for your location ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MttFrog13 Posted July 17, 2005 CID Share Posted July 17, 2005 My 3.0 upgrade just came into effect about a hour ago. Here are my before and after stats. Before: :::..

My gateway also says i am at 3360, but that doesnt matter if i'm not actually downloading at that does it? About ur connection, install cablenut, and if u already have it, make sure u change the settings to 3.0MB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mactron Posted July 17, 2005 CID Share Posted July 17, 2005 Your looking good ! Don't let the "83.4 % of your hosts average (verizon.net) " throw you, it's the screwed up data base here. The 3360 is your provisioning. It's over provisioned to compensate for some overhead losses. Your ready to Rock and Roll ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resijs Posted July 24, 2005 CID Share Posted July 24, 2005 Firewalls are usually to blame when you have 2 out of 3MB/s. And you can't wait an hour after completion, I think they have to tidy up afterwards or something, hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
