XE Posted October 13, 2005 CID Share Posted October 13, 2005 Hi.. yeah im still using good old 'dialup' but its all I can get (nothing available,even satellite unless I pay someone to cut down a LOT of trees or do it myself, I just said forget it.) Ive been trying, but I cant get a 56k/48k connection going Some tests: testmy: :::.. Download Stats ..::: Connection is:: 54 Kbps about 0.1 Mbps (tested with 579 kB) Download Speed is:: 7 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (server2) Test Time:: Thu Oct 13 16:29:21 CDT 2005 Bottom Line:: 1X faster than 56K 1MB download in 146.29 sec Diagnosis: May need help : running at only 7.93 % of your hosts average (Level3.net) Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-ROY2PDMTA :::.. Upload Stats ..::: Connection is:: 40 Kbps about 0 Mbps (tested with 97 kB) Upload Speed is:: 5 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (server2) Test Time:: Thu Oct 13 16:30:28 CDT 2005 Bottom Line:: 1X faster than 56K 1MB upload in 204.8 sec Diagnosis: May need help : running at only 42.11 % of your hosts average (Level3.net) Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-GAEYIXBNH speakeasy: Download Speed: 51 Kbps (6.4 kB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 42 Kbps (5.2 kB/sec transfer rate) So yeah Im basicly just wondering what I can do to get my full speed? My modem is suppose to be 56/48k so I guess 48k on upload would be good, but I can only get 40k after multiple tests, and from the average site downloads run at about 6.3kB/sec until the end.. when Im assuming full speed would be about 7kB/sec. using SBC dial service, if that matters.

ghostmaster Posted October 13, 2005 CID Share Posted October 13, 2005 I'm not so sure that you're gonna get it any better than that. You must have really good phone lines lol. When i was on dialup the highest connection i could get was 28.8kbps. Looks like your pretty much at 56k. Phone lines are capped at 53.3kbps down and usually 33.3kbps up.

tbaker397 Posted October 13, 2005 CID Share Posted October 13, 2005 i had amazing connection when i was on dial up. I could download at 10kB/s NOT a typo, i hit 10kB/s on a p2p program before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotmilk Posted October 14, 2005 CID Share Posted October 14, 2005 Yeah, those are AWESOME speeds for dial-up, I can guarantee you're not going to get any faster than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROM-DOS Posted October 14, 2005 CID Share Posted October 14, 2005 Welcome XE ; like everyone's said 'AWESOME speeds' and your pretty much at or better than your 'cap'. We have a new "Dial-up" section ~ just click on my hyperlink in my sig. There's only two of us(now three, hopefully) Cholla and myself.
