destructionfever Posted August 1, 2005 CID Share Posted August 1, 2005 Hey all, I downloaded comcast security manager and it is a beta version of the new software. I quickly uninstalled it because it made my speed test so slow. I normally get between 7.0-7.8Mb. Since I installed the program I've been getting 4Mb. I uninstalled it and did system restore to get my net settings back before the install. But I am still downloading at 4Mb. I've done a modem/router restart. I've already run spybot and ad aware SE plus. Now I need to know if anyone knows how to get my old settings from before the install of comcast security manager. Thankyou very much/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted August 1, 2005 CID Share Posted August 1, 2005 my guess is that comcast capped you...wouldnt be suprised if this was some type of ploy to find people who are running really fast and re applying the modem config to bring them back down to the 4mb level. What service are you paying for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYRIAGON Posted August 1, 2005 CID Share Posted August 1, 2005 If you just ran a speed test here at testmy , you might want to try one some place else first, I have had very low readings here all afternoon, but seems good at other sites. Not sure if it's Comcast or if something going on here. :::..

destructionfever Posted August 1, 2005 Author CID Share Posted August 1, 2005 I don't know if it was Comcast earlier...or if this site had a butt load of traffic. The speed still goes crazy at times. But now that time has passed. Check out my stats.:::..

Swimmer Posted August 1, 2005 CID Share Posted August 1, 2005 yeah it might be on the server end.. I am not sure how this site is setup now.. I have been away to long but it look like you are directed to the server closest to your location. The tracert's look pretty clean coming in.. i dont know what is going on..
