fandango Posted October 14, 2005 CID Share Posted October 14, 2005 I have cablenut(latest version) i have tried using the Tweak calculator, Van Buren's settings, the tweak from "SLOW SPEED HELL SCROLL THIS" thread on this site, and i have also messed around with the tweaks myself(not particuarly knoing what i was doing).Im on the 4000/368 plan , I want my internet to be faster without upgrading I have had succes in the past i could get 5megs and + somtimes. I kinda just forgot about tweaking all together for a while but for the past few months iv noticed slow and jumpy speeds and i want to fix it. The Comcast people say everything seems fine and they give me that whole "oh well we dont guarantee anything" phrase. My speeds are constantly anywhere between 2megs-5megs. somtimes reaching up to 7 megs, somtimes geting as slow as 1.8 or so megs. Normaly i would say that its stays between 2.1-4.0megs. I kno it has potential to be faster and also its bothering me beccase it doesnt stay constant at all . i have been running tons of tests every so often for the past week, every test i run , somtimes one after another, somtimes one and and another one later. its always jumping up and down and up and down etc. I wish it would atleast stay in a constant range like 3.5-4.0 or seomthing like that, IDK if you can help with that but itd be nice. Basiacly though im asking for some help tweaking possibly even some specific cable nut settings, the Vanburen ones dont seem to be working, neither do any others or the ones i try calcualting or just making myself. the other night though i kept geting crazy speeds between 7.0-7.7 :::..

BUT not such luck still not updated and my speeds were bak down to 2.5-4.0 within minuets. Does anyone kno why its jumpy though? i kno it can vary but idk why it would jump so much and so often and yes tweak help, sorry to be repetative , would be greatt. im not sure what all i need to post, any help is appriciated thanks.

Hollywoodx954x Posted October 18, 2005 CID Share Posted October 18, 2005 i think you have the 8.0/768 plan, but just dont know it. call them up and see and then switch to a 8/768 cablenut setting and you will get around 8.2 - 8.6 download everytime.

AgentGOD Posted October 23, 2005 CID Share Posted October 23, 2005 You have the 6 Mbps/384 Kbps package. Try changing your IP Address, and do a few soft/hard resets on the modem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
