Re: Slow Broadband Speeds
I Second Irish Shark  's advise... You Need to resolve your problems with the OS First.
Once you have that taken care of, then re-run the Tweak Test, and use "8000" instead of "8mb" in the Download Speed kbit/s: dialog box, and "pppoA" in the Connection: dialog box for a more accurate evaluation.
-Tursiops_G.
(Edit): Corrected info for your SAGEM FAST 800 E2T Modem (Uses pppoA).

| Thank you both for your replies.
Im sorry, but you misunderstood me about only booting in safe mode. That was BEFORE I used the recovery disc. My PC is like new again now - in fact it was probably a blessing because Ive gotten rid of all the junk, plus Ive now got the latest versions of most of the software I had before!
Im sorry if I misled you.
Because its after 4am now, I'l do another Tweak test at a more civilised time of the day and post again later.
Thanks again,

Las Vegas, NV | Those speed test show that you are testing at your advertised rate.
You are just getting slower results on the USA sites.
I don't see any issues here.

If my tests are good can you think of why I can only download at 130kb/s at 3am well outside peak times?
When I 1st upgraded I was getting 550-600kb/s at the same time of day.

Las Vegas, NV | Traffic ... your ISP does not have the bandwidth to handle the load ... the site is busy .... etc..
Where are you downloading from at 0300?

These have always been faster in the early hours of the morning.

| You may want to try changing your RWIN to 124960 by using Dr.TCP, and see if that offers any improvement... Other than that, your settings are "Tweaked" about as best as possible.
The only other thing that you can do, is to contact your ISP, and see if they can investigate the issue.
