Network at 7-10PMThe network usually goes down from 7-10PM nightly. I wouldn't make a judgement on speed during those times. I would make a judgement in the early morning, about 7AM when you have the Central Office to yourself. I get the best downloads at those times. | |

Re: Network at 7-10PMWell than has to be something that you haven't tweaked correctly yet. Download and use raspoet. It make a huge difference with Verizon because winpoet lags it up a lot. | |
|
| | | | |
Re: Network at 7-10PMi've tried that ... no difference in speed...also when using my router, nothing..
also i put slackware (linux) on my primary machine .. again, no difference still getting 10-25 KB/s | |

Re: Network at 7-10PMWell than it's the router your connection is on at the Central Office. You can't do anything about it until they upgrade it. | |

Re: Network at 7-10PMJust got off the phone with Verizon Tech. They esculated me to network support or something, the guy said they just ran some tests, checked out what it said, etc, we unplugged all the phones (inc cordless phones) and still the speeds wern't much better. since we ruled other things out, and since he said the line was good, it leads them to belive it is the dsl modem. they are shipping out one via fedex 2day, so i will try the new modem when i recieve it. | |

No, but, I just went and enabled the MTU, and set it to 1492. Not sure what difference this will make, but I guess we will see. | |

TCP Receive window can have a direct effect on speed. If you are getting exactly 25/KB and nothing higher, it has to be that. What is yours set at? | |

tweakswhat tweaks have you tried and what is your defaultrcvwindow size??? i have found this to be the greatest. your download and upload speeds sound good though. i'm ~4500 feet from co and sometimes get less than 100k. | |

Re: tweaksi have it listed in kilobits a second, so to get the Kilobytes a second (which your web browsers show) divide by 8. what that comes out to is 10-25 KiloBytes a second. | |

download - uploadDownload and upload speed will vary depending on how much utilization your CO and the site you are accessing are experiencing at the time. You may wnat to trash Winpoet in favor of Raspoet or a pppoe compliant router also. Either of these options could boost speeds by using less (or none) of your system rescorces. | |
|
| | |
Re: download - uploadI've tried 3 differant ways, accross 3 operating systems. i've tried winpoet, raspoet, and my router. also ive tried on windows 2000 sp2, win98se, and linux. no difference in speeds (ive tweaked the windows systems also). ive tried at different times during the day, afternoon, morning, wee hours of morning, etc. | |

Don't buy Verizons B.S.Verizon will insist the problem is on your end every time. Usually they blame it on the modem(easiest cop out). I know serveral people that have gone through this song and dance only to have Verizon admit the problem was on their end after getting Presidential Appeals involved. | |
|
| | |
Re: Don't buy Verizons B.S.Maybe so.. I have a new modem on the way. They blammed my download speeds on that after they said tehy checked the line, the equipment at the co, then after i unplugged all phones and cordless phones (and the power to them) | |

Load Coil.You have a Load Coil on your line I bet. Ask Ameritech or whoever it is who has control over the actual lines to remove it. | |

Verizon LinkSys DSL router- works great for me!I've had DSL service here in Maynard Ma for about a year now. It was mediocre initially but has been very reliable and fast for at least 6 months now. Maybe once a month it fails but power cycleing the DSL modem usually gets it going again. 30k bytes to 60kbytes per second download speeds are routine. I use a LinkSys DSL router box and it has been OK too. The only problem I have had is I can't open ports to the outside world without exposing the entire PC in a DMZ. The firmware keeps aksing me for the password instead of opening the ports. I use DSL a lot to support my consulting business » www.cdhconsult.com | |

Verizon's BrainDead Tech's Same Song & DanceCall from tech support saying they don't know why he called. While earlier, one called to inform the same (Day earlier I was told about this)that new modem on its way through FEDEX will arrive in about week's time.

Re: Verizon's BrainDead Tech's Same Song & DanceI ordered a new modem on 10/29, it went out 10/30. They told me it would arrive by 11/1 at the latest.
On 11/2 they told me one was sent 11/1. Yep, the very day it was to be here... They also said they had no record of the first one....
I guess Kelly Bundy really does work there..... | |
