Hey hope you had a Merry Christmas Jebus22 and a nonsober new year.  Well, have you tried to uninstall your NIC drivers and reboot your system they will reinstall.  I find sometimes this tends to work (more often than not).

Your Friend,

compuworm

P.S. What Vanburen ccs file did you load, thanks.

[resopalrabotnick]

considering you're testing from new zealand a 25 percent drop in speed to testmynet isn't unusual. try testing to a site closer to you.

[jebus22]

i tested against a new zealand site and got around 1.8mbps

is there any way to achieve the full 2mbps?

[resopalrabotnick]

frankly that depends on the isp. post a tracerout to the site you tested against to see if there is any long hops in there, try just plain downloading from a site close to you and see what kind of speeds you get, maybe play around with the settings cablenut makes. also post a traceroute here. there should be some improvement possible, at least theoretically, but you /are/ pretty close and you have to remember that caps on dsl are usually pretty close to what is advertised and there is an overhead to the transmission that slightly reduces the net speed achieved.

that is a mighty long ping on your first hop to the isp. call them and ask em about it and inquire if they have a fastpath option.

[jebus22]

i have asked my isp that before and they said it had to do with me living in a rural area and being a long way from an exchange

[resopalrabotnick]

:haha:

if you were that far from an exchange you wouldn't be able to get dsl at 2 Mb. ask em about it again and if they try to feed you the same line ask for a supervisor. but be nice. then see if they have something in the way of fastpath (that is a routing option for dsl that gives faster pings) or can do something about the long ping some other way. dsl should /not/ be that slow to ping to the first hop outside your net.
