Need Help! 8000/768 Comcast Speeds


Dittoz

Recommended Posts

OK, you are exactly where I was.  Inconsistent downloads speed tests and no reason why.

Your Cable Modem setting are right-on.  This is a software and/or reg problem.  I found an item in my programs that was trying to make a connection with a sever and this was affecting my download rates.  My download status bar on testmy.net would normally hang around 18% then hang again at 45% and this cave inconsistent download speed rates as is happening to you. 

1. Did you look over the Error logs in the Event Viewer?  This definitely told me I had a program misbehaving.  Once this program was eliminated, cleaned the Reg, and rebooted I never again had a problem with hanging download tests on Testmy.net. 

2.The suspect program was attempting to make contact repeatedly with a sever and this was the source of my problems.  My ISP is comcast and I am suppose to get 4000kbps down and 384 up but if you look at my download test results I get nearly 7000 down and 372 up which is damn good.

3. So long story short this is a software issue look again for some program you might not be aware of that might be trying to connect to a remote sever while you are online.  You might not be getting any error logs because the program is not committing any.

Ok the comcast guy just left again.  Turns out 2 out of the 4 ports at the pole were bad.  They replaced one but have to replace the other tomorrow.  So far my speed is much improved.

Ok so i used the OOL 10000/1000 because i couldnt find the 8000/768 one in the folder.  Do i have to use a cable on or can i use a DSL one cause i have cable. Also what would happen if i picked one like 4000/348  would it just slow down my connection?
