Post Up Your Internet Speed~

Cool. Most of you have a very good connection. I heard Comcast was gonna be upgrading their line pretty soon, too. The high-speed service will have up to 50Mb/s DL.

Hey Bdebde, do they give you any discount for the slower service? Ya know, since you know a guy???

*edit* New test:



10ms ping....

[_paralyzed_]

My desktop should have the same results, right? If not the slow speed is computer related?

If you aren't using a wireless connection, then your speed should be a lot higher. It could just be the settings on your LAN card. You could try setting a static IP, or disabling some IE services/functions. Like you said I doubt it is spyware, but you should scan anyways. An easy way to tell if there are programs hogging bandwidth is to open Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Delete) and click on the "Networking" tab. If there is a lot of activity and you aren't DL'ing anything () then your computer might be sick...

0 activity. I think its just crap service and nobody knows better than to complain to comcast. I'm paying $45 a month for that.

No discount for knowing somebody... bummer.

We had 7" of rain yesterday/today and my network has been blinky - couldn't operate but a single desktop off the router, tried everything. Now its quit raining, starting to dry out and everything's nearly back to normal, may still be a touch slow...
