HELP! Looks like I need lots of help.

Hey people. I did an upload test and it says I'm only running at 30.91 % of your hosts average. What can I do to fix this? Here is my report.

I am running windows xp. I dont have that sp2 thing and I dont know where to get it and my provider is rogers. I was told by someone that with rogers I wont beable to increase it.

[FallowEarth]

Here's SP2 if you want it:

Shouldn't affect your speeds tho.  And yes, you should be able to increase your speeds, just follow reso's steps!

Ok now I am confused

Welcome to the forum, Scam-

They want you to read and follow the advice from the two following threads:

http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=2097.0

http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=3924.0

It will take some time, but these are full of very good tips and info for speed help.

After you go through these, post back here.

Sorry, just to clarify my post.  You don't need SP2 (Service Pack 2) for XP.  Whether you have it or not will not affect your connection speeds, at least not significantly.

And yes, both resopalrabotnick and myself were suggesting to click on the links that dn0 provided.

How do I find out the advertised speed? NVM I think I got it 384 kbs sound right?

[dn0]

Hey Scams,

If you have Rogers' Lite tier, then your speeds would be right on:

From Rogers' web site: (Link)

"Surf and email at speeds much faster than dial-up. Modem set-up of up to 384 Kbps download and 96 Kbps upload. "

You will have to check your bill or call them to find out what tier you have.

The reason it may say 30.91% of your hosts average is exactly that; the average of all Rogers users here is just higher than your speed.

But if that speed is what you are paying for, then there is no problem.

If you are paying for their higher speed tier, then you do have an issue.
