FallowEarth Posted November 18, 2005 CID Share Posted November 18, 2005 Welcome to the forum, Sharky2006. What are your advertised speeds? Please check out the "Make It Faster" sticky here: http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=2097.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biker9075 Posted November 18, 2005 CID Share Posted November 18, 2005 What are your advertised speeds?, it looks to me that you have the 1.5 mbps dl/ 384kbps up... Dont even bother looking at the percentage because of the Verizon FIOS which is capable of reaching 30mbps..so yeah, I really cant help ya without knowing your advertised speeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptors892004 Posted November 18, 2005 CID Share Posted November 18, 2005 First of all, please post your advertised package speed just so we know.. Second of all, download Cablenut and then download the latest of Van Buren's settings from this forum topic.. Did you have such problems with speed before or did this happen just now?

Sharky2006 Posted November 18, 2005 Author CID Share Posted November 18, 2005 Thanks for replying. My advertised speed is up to 3 Mbps/ 768Kbps I downloaded Cablenut and have all of Van Burens settings but I don't know which one to use?

FallowEarth Posted November 18, 2005 CID Share Posted November 18, 2005 You can feel free to play around with a couple of different files that are close to your connection speeds. After you apply one, save to registry, and reboot, try another download test. Start a notepad file with your results and try another cablenut file until you find the one that works best for you.

raptors892004 Posted November 18, 2005 CID Share Posted November 18, 2005 just go into cable/dsl folder, then to xp/2000 cable_dsl, MSS1460, and then choose the closest file that matches ur dsl line's speeds (DSL 6000/768).. To load it, open Cablenut, click File -> Load Custom.. and select the file (6000/768 DSL), click save settings to registry and reboot as other members said.. You can experiment with other settings to see which ones give u the best performace.. Cablenut does not help my internet connection, but it does wonders for many ppl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biker9075 Posted November 20, 2005 CID Share Posted November 20, 2005 Cablenut doesnt help me either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VznPro Posted December 2, 2005 CID Share Posted December 2, 2005 Make sure you're actually at the 3/768 package. Which DSL modem do you have? Remember that DSL is a best effort technology. They may have tried to get you 3/768 but you were too far from the CO so theyu had to reconfigure you for 1.5/384. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonu Posted December 2, 2005 CID Share Posted December 2, 2005 sharky ur a retard they dont give u 3/768 u have to ask for it u have to be ABLE to get it i know u think u have it i did 2 but im not able to get 3/768 u might not be either call them say tech support then say other then ask them for upgrade to 3 mbps then they will transfer u to billing ~MUST CALL DURING WEEKDAYS BEFORE 6 PM~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raptors892004 Posted January 15, 2006 CID Share Posted January 15, 2006 If you did not uncap your modem I don't think you could have increased your download speeds by 3x . Maybe clean out your cache and try your test again although upload test seems to work fine. What program did you use? Maybe those results are real Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharky2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 16, 2006 I actually used Google Web Accelerator. But it is caching stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted January 16, 2006 CID Share Posted January 16, 2006 Yes thats how it works NOTE: If you have download accelerators such as the Google Web Accelerator please turn them OFF before testing. - For the Google Web Accelerator click on the speedometer icon in your browser or taskbar and click "Stop Google Web Accelerator" - clicking "Don't accelerate this website" may still 'cause results to be incorrect. Also note that results from tests taken with accelerators DO NOT represent faster than normal speeds but are simply 100% false cached results. Accelerators DO NOT speed up download speed, only browsing speed! In my opinion these programs do more harm than good and I personally would not allow it on my own system. -Damon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharky2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 16, 2006 ...may sound like a stupid question, but how does it do more harm than good? Is it harming my system in any way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallowEarth Posted January 16, 2006 CID Share Posted January 16, 2006 Not necessarily harm, other than using resources....but it's giving you results that are inaccurate and misleading. I used to have my browser all done up with extensions/toolbars, but I found that things ran better just barebones. You just gotta be sure to do regular maintenance on your browser (cache/cookes) and scan for spyware thoroughly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharky2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 16, 2006 Thanks. I appreciate that. I may be overdoing it with spyware paranoia so I actually clean my computer daily with Spybot, Adaware, MS Antispyware, and I also have 2 anti virus programs AVG and Norton Corporate edition.

Its not harming your pc in any way but Google can see what sites you are visiting because their servers cache the webpages you visit or they send you the cached pages when you try to open them .. I tried it and uninstalled it.. Like FallowEarth is saying, if you have broadband or even dial-up, its better to go without the accelerator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jodokast96 Posted January 19, 2006 CID Share Posted January 19, 2006 also CABLE NUT IS A PEICE OF GARBAGE mark my words..... www.broadbandreports.com/tweaks is a very good tweaker i used that and it upped my speed 20 Kbps ok buddy but i had messed up internet for a LOONG time until verizon found out they were messing my internet up i had 70Kbps and increased it to 90 now i have 180Kbps programs dosent mess up internet, the ppl that using em wrong does.. cablenut is not garbage just beqause you didnt know how to use it I agree that its harder to use then most other tweakprograms, but its also the most advanced and offer options to tweak upload aswell VanBuren Just my 2 cents here: I used CableNut sometime back for all 3 of my systems, and it gave me a slight improvement on all of them, using some of VanBuren's custom settings. Something changed somewhere recently, I'm guessing something Verizon related since all 3 of my systems were affected. Speeds got horrible. After a month, I'm not fixed totally, but found that lowering my RWIN lower than either CableNut, TweakTester, or even the Windows default, has helped, at least to nearby test sites. High RWIN's give me good results only to distant sites. The point is, every setup is different. That I have to set my RWIN so low is something that none of these tweaking programs probably never consider because it really doesn't make sense. None of them have a preconfigured setting with an RWIN of 13068, which is what I need right now. Why? Because 99% of the time it would probably cripple a broadband connection. Anyone with any real experience playing around with computers should know that there are always those situations that leave even the experts scratching their heads trying to come up with an answer that really isn't there. Some things are just the way they are, just because that's the way they are. Anyway, to say the program is junk, is wrong. It does what it is supposed to do: it allows you to easily change various registry settings that relate to broadband connections. It never crashes, and never screws up your computer. The values you enter screw up your computer. If those values don't help, you have every option to remove them, and find and enter ones that do.
