Need Help With Verizon DSL

[ronz0r]

I just went through the stickies to no avail. I have Westell 2100 modem with a Belkin Wireless G router. I've tried plugging the modem straight into my computer but my speeds are the same.  I even ran a new line from outside just for my dsl modem.  I believe i have the 768/128 plan. I'm running Windows XP/SP2. The thing I cant figure out is that my downloads in Limewire are much faster than what this test says my cap is (all other bandwidth tests give me about the same results). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Anyways here are my test results.

:::.. Download Stats ..:::

that tweaking shit  is not going to work here its something in your line  57 ms    61 ms    57 ms  10.34.23.1  your first hope is 61ms something is wrong there so call verizon  they can help you  but  if nothing is wrong with your line something is taking all your upload bandwidth  like say all your bandwidth goes to upload and you try to download you send response it is going to take forever so you latency goes up . So you may have spyware sending crap over your connection to other computers. Some Spyware or virus's will do that becuase they can use your upload to load spyware on other computer  like  your computer could be sending spam over emails who knows  but do a port scan and also look at your log on your belkin router  and see if anything is using your upload

I forsure agree. Tweaking in this case will not fix the problem. XP is pretty tweaked for dsl. WIth your speeds as bad as they are there is no way a tweak will fix this one. If you have done all the spyware scans. If you have done all that in safe mode. If you have reset your modum then I would have to guess one of 2 things. First Going with the direct connect bypass your router. Either call verizon and see if they can do a line check. Or you could back up your important files to disk. Do a reformat and reload xp. I myself would back the stuff up and do a reformat. If that is not an option forsure call verizon.
