Title: Internet Slow Post by: Ralphy on Wednesday, December 20, 2006, 20:56:59 I delivered millions of packets today.
My legs are faster than your broadband :D Title: Internet Slow Post by: Fred Elliot on Wednesday, December 20, 2006, 21:00:41 Quote from: "Ralphy" I delivered millions of packets today. My legs are faster than your broadband :D You lie You phoned Steve to tell him such too ! Title: Internet Slow Post by: blinkpip on Wednesday, December 20, 2006, 21:01:58 Saying that. I used to use a modem and it seemed faster. it connected to my PC through USB.
Now my router connects to my Ethernet port? Can that make any difference? My speed should be 8 meg.

Since when did I have tits? Title: Internet Slow Post by: Samdy Gray on Wednesday, December 20, 2006, 22:09:14 I'd say your LAN isn't set up properly. Check the instructions for how to get into the router setup via your browser and then have a fiddle with the settings.
Title: Internet Slow Post by: magicroundabout on Wednesday, December 20, 2006, 22:12:29 nothing to change in there.
just lists a couple of IP addresses Title: Internet Slow Post by: Samdy Gray on Wednesday, December 20, 2006, 22:15:45 Tried using the 'repair connection' facility in Windows?
Title: Internet Slow Post by: magicroundabout on Wednesday, December 20, 2006, 22:17:25 Quote from: "sam_stfc" Tried using the 'repair connection' facility in Windows? says there isn't a problem??? might just be me that thinks it's slow?? Title: Internet Slow Post by: Samdy Gray on Wednesday, December 20, 2006, 22:22:14 Try this through your router and the modem and see what it says

i've 8meg Title: Internet Slow Post by: Samdy Gray on Wednesday, December 20, 2006, 22:38:07 For the modem it'll be ADSL, should be the same for the router.
Title: Internet Slow Post by: magicroundabout on Wednesday, December 20, 2006, 22:41:52 my result with router
3.2 megabits per second Communications 3.2 megabits per second Storage 384.5 kilobytes per second 1MB file download 2.7 seconds Subjective rating Awesome Explain results Info Date & time Wednesday, December 20, 5:40PM* Test type IDT4 Free Connection type ADSL Region United Kingdom Data size 1024KB Title: Internet Slow Post by: Samdy Gray on Wednesday, December 20, 2006, 22:43:00 That's deffo not right. As you say you've got 8 meg so I'd expect it to be around 7.5ish.
Title: Internet Slow Post by: magicroundabout on Wednesday, December 20, 2006, 22:53:03 any ideas as to what to do??
Title: Internet Slow Post by: Fred Elliot on Wednesday, December 20, 2006, 22:56:12 Have you tried resetting it ?
Title: Internet Slow Post by: Samdy Gray on Wednesday, December 20, 2006, 22:58:43 Try this little program - it's quite useful
http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,5431-order,1-page,1-c,alldownloads/description.html Open the program, Go to 'Window' and then 'Health Log'. It'll tell you if you've got problems and what to do about them.

Have you tried using the modem with the speed test? How different are the results? What ISP have you got? It might be that you can't get the full 8mb in your area (the problem I have). Nothing to do with your hardware if this is the case. It could also be that your ISP caps the speed in peak times, when loads more people surf. My internet speeds up loads after midnight. If your ISP has got more popular then the contention ratio may have got bigger i.e. more people through each exchange. If the exchange has a rate of 200mbps for 50 users, then obviously getting 8mbps each would be impossible. |
