Stealth Posted October 9, 2005 CID Share Posted October 9, 2005 Hi, first i want to thank Van Buren and others for the good info on this site, it helped me alot. But i have a problem, i have tested here before and read all the help stickys... Umm i had good test results (for my connection) 256k it was hitting 32 easy; nothing worth compairing to some of the other speeds here but yesterday my connection backed off so i have been testing again and got : :::.. Download Stats ..::: Connection is:: 83 Kbps about 0.1 Mbps (tested with 97 kB) Download Speed is:: 10 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (server2) Test Time:: Mon Oct 10 10:02:01 UTC+1300 2005 Bottom Line:: 1X faster than 56K 1MB download in 102.4 sec Diagnosis: May need help : running at only 10.05 % of your hosts average OMFG! everytime i see that i nearly switch! So i have been testing it but it wont come back, i changed alot of my settings for ip etc but no change, i when through most of the help stickys with windows in safe mode scans etc still nothing. I talked to my ISP and they told me there is no problem with connections ATM I even ran sys restore! I know you HATE this but i am running my connection through usb because i dont have the right port...even using that method i was still getting results i was happy with. I dont know what to do, i use online eye to measure speed also... and when streaming music its still hitting near 20KB/s so i do still have some speed there at some times. Anyway is there any way i can just get it back to how it was??? I was ashamed to try and compaire my speed to the ones iv seen here but now id be happy to just get my average speed back Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallowEarth Posted October 9, 2005 CID Share Posted October 9, 2005 Welcome to the forum, Stealth. Have you tried VanBuren's cablenut tweaks? Check it: http://www.testmy.net/topic-1013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth Posted October 9, 2005 Author CID Share Posted October 9, 2005 Thanks, Yea i was reading that again... i just realised that i posted this in the wrong place No i havnt tried that yet tho, i was hoping fix this problem first, that way i would know that it wasnt something else that cause the problem. Hmm ill give it a try... Just had another sys restore thats obviously not going to work Been reinstalling drivers and software also I cant think of much else except hitting it with a hammer that il fix it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallowEarth Posted October 9, 2005 CID Share Posted October 9, 2005 You can try resetting the TCP/IP stack: WinXP? -Click start --> run, type: cmd, click ok -type: netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt, hit enter -close the window and restart PC. I would also suggest checking for spyware and viruses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholla Posted October 9, 2005 CID Share Posted October 9, 2005 Hey FallowEarth; You might have Stealth power Cycle his modem.Mine simple but give him the order & how long to wait between each part. Stealth if you have Cablenut I would delete the cablenut tweaks; save to registry;reboot then put in the ccs file for your connection.Also let us know if you were tweaking something before the slowdown.

Stealth Posted October 9, 2005 Author CID Share Posted October 9, 2005 Hey Cholla/ Fallowearth I JUST d/l and installed cablenut / reboot and got even worse results Yep Win xp. I'll try resetting the TCP/IP stack. I have done the whole safe mode scan and there is no spyware or virus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stealth Posted October 9, 2005 Author CID Share Posted October 9, 2005 ok i reset it, but no change. power Cycle Is that when you pull the modem plug from the port? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholla Posted October 10, 2005 CID Share Posted October 10, 2005 Ok, so shut down your computer, router, and modem. Then bring up your modem, wait a minute, bring up your router, wait a minute, bring up your computer. If you're not on a router then skip that step. This is called powercycling, btw. Basically, this has now refreshed your connection and closed any backdoor Stealth : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth Posted October 10, 2005 Author CID Share Posted October 10, 2005 Thanks sooooo much guys, you rawk!!! I just spent the last 1/2 hour on the phone to my ISP. It appears that its not my system/modem at all!!! But rather a international problem with all NZ isp's. Thay are saying there is some international problem so that explains why i can get local stuff at high speed but not good download speed HERE!! I feel abit about that tho Hopefully my speed will come back then i can get to tweaking it Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted October 10, 2005 CID Share Posted October 10, 2005 btw, there's nothing to /hate/ per se about using usb to connect. but if you can hook up your modem via netork cablkes and don't have a network port on the comp, a network card isn't all that expensive and easy to install. that will give you better performance.
