When testing my 6mb connection the 2292 test bar always hangs in the middle help

[Guest Kilroy44]

Yea im trying to figure out why my connection only comes in at 4-4.9mb on testmy.net while its rated above 6 on dslreports and others. Another computer on our home network is testing at 6.1mbs on this site and also the status bar doesnt hang like the other. Have tried loading without status bar but it doesnt help.

Running windowsxp sp 2

comcast cable internet

spyware and adware is clean

no firwall

norton antivirus corprate running on both

and cache has been cleaned

P.S. Only time i broke the 6mb barrier on the one computer was immediatly after reciving the speed upgrade

I could use some advice thank you  (i have vanbrueens 6000 768 tweak installed and it still doesnt go any faster)

Welcome to the forums,Kilroy44

Have you tried another size test or the smartest?

[Guest Kilroy44]

Yes I have the other ones go fine but as soon as i get to the 2292 one it always lags in the middle

yet the other computers on the network dont lag and get scores of 5-6mb so i dont know whats causing the lagging

There's a 12mb test, but I can't seem to find the link right now. I'm sure someone will find it soon.

[Guest Kilroy44]

Thanks a lot. I found the link and i get scores from 5.8-6 thanks alot. I dont know what the deal is with the 2mb test

hey Kilroy44 and welcome to the forum

have you tested version 7? https://testmy.net/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=1013.0;id=2784

also if your using a router, try bypassing it and connect direct to modem via ethernet

i tried version 7 and it still freezes at the 40-60% mark and i cant really bypass the router do to it being all the way acoss the house. Other computers on the network dont have the problem and it also doesnt freeze on the 12mb testl; only the 2mb test

if the 12 MB test works fine, then leave it alone, i also score better on largerfilesize, 2992KB test stall sometimes for me aswell, i dont think there is a fix for that.

I'm guessing you're wired. Are you sure you can't bypass the router? Just unplug the wire that runs from your computer to the router, and plug the end that was in the router to the modem.
