Aristotle Posted June 25, 2005 CID Share Posted June 25, 2005 I just signed up for RCN phone, cable, and internet service. They gave me a Mach 10 modem which is supposed to have has a nominal speed of 10MB/s. Here's my stats (Awesome!!!). Even higher that what they have advertised. Here's two sample speed tests. :::..

Minstrel Posted March 8, 2006 CID Share Posted March 8, 2006 Hi again everyone... After three days of experimental tweaking with various programs, (using all Cablenut ccs files I could find, tried the SG TCP Net Optimizer, TuneUp Utilities Internet programs, Broadband Wizard, etc) I just wanted to share my highest stats with you other RCN users. But b4 that, congrats to JunkieXL; those are some AWESOME numbers, similar to what I was getting when the Mach10 was first implemented. Sure wish I could get it tweaked that high again! Anyway, here's the latest... :::..

So Van, if you or any others have any suggestions (RCN users especially welcomed) to give me a boost, I would sure appreciate it! ......This is my final post on this topic.... I'm through tweaking! I've come to the conclusion that there is little more to do on the user end of things to try and boost this modem. Final stats are... :::..

If any other RCN users out there have any suggestions to make this thing fly, I'm listening, but I'm satisfied at present speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
