Slow DSL--using wireless Netopia router....was fine on ether in North State Communications users forum http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20751999 en Wed, 11 Nov 2009 06:57:22 EDT Wed, 11 Nov 2009 06:57:22 EDT Re: Slow DSL--using wireless Netopia router....was fine on ether http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20780115 Matt : Ok, to summarize:

1) North State says everything is fine?
2) You get poor download speeds from your newsgroups and the iTunes/FTP links I posted?
3) The speed tests here report about 600Kbps?

Is that correct? What speed package did you purchase?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20780115 Sat, 12 Jul 2008 11:41:53 EDT Re: Slow DSL--using wireless Netopia router....was fine on ether http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20779594 jnaarnold : yes, installed it last night...at 1:00 am.....]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20779594 Sat, 12 Jul 2008 08:56:48 EDT Re: Slow DSL--using wireless Netopia router....was fine on ether http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20779563 Matt : That is very odd. Your line quality test doesn't look right at all.

Have you installed SP1 for Vista?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20779563 Sat, 12 Jul 2008 08:41:54 EDT Re: Slow DSL--using wireless Netopia router....was fine on ether http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20779494 jnaarnold : Heres my line test.....man this is getting frustrating...!!

I called tech support and they had me to do the flash report on dslreports, it came back with 680Kbps -- but when I downloaded files (from my Northstate Web space, no less) it was 88Kbps, not acceptable.

They referred it to some techs and I got a phone call two hours later. Now I'm running at more acceptable download speed, but still nowhere near the numbers that dslreports is giving me.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20777225 Fri, 11 Jul 2008 18:56:04 EDT Re: Slow DSL--using wireless Netopia router....was fine on ether http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20768552 Matt :

Called tech last night, everything is ok on their end....I must have something weird here either software or hardware....any suggestions?

Have you run a Spyware/Adware/Trojan check? Simply scanning with anti-virus won't work.

»Security Cleanup

Go to that forum and ask them to help you get scanned to see if you have any malware that is slowing you down. You may be spewing out spam!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20768552 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 07:42:35 EDT Re: Slow DSL--using wireless Netopia router....was fine on ether http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20768454 anon : Called tech last night, everything is ok on their end....I must have something weird here either software or hardware....any suggestions?

still slow speeds at both locations...thanks....I will call them tomorrow...do you think it could be in my line? Also, what pair are used for DSL?? Red/Green? Thanks for all your help Matt

I'm not actually sure as I am in a community they serve with their Lightstar Fiber Optic service.

Please post back here and let me know the results.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20761467 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 21:47:20 EDT Re: Slow DSL--using wireless Netopia router....was fine on ether http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20761262 anon : still slow speeds at both locations...thanks....I will call them tomorrow...do you think it could be in my line?

Well, I don't think it is entirely the newsgroup.....you see if I go to download.com and try and download a file there...same thing... is there a different protocol for downloading via the web...verses say a the way dsl reports does??

Are you using the DSLReports flash or Java based speed test?

Download.com is slow as dirt. Download this file »ftp://ftp1.optonline.net/test512 and note the speed at the 50% mark, then download iTunes from »www.itunes.com/ and note the speed.

If you get good speeds from both of those, it the newsgroup server you're using.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20757368 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 07:51:41 EDT Re: Slow DSL--using wireless Netopia router....was fine on ether http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20755993 anon : Well, I don't think it is entirely the newsgroup.....you see if I go to download.com and try and download a file there...same thing... is there a different protocol for downloading via the web...verses say a the way dsl reports does??]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20755993 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 21:30:26 EDT Re: Slow DSL--using wireless Netopia router....was fine on ether http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20755722 Matt : But your speed tests show 640Kbps?

I'd contact your newsgroup provider.

They installed a wireless router and the download speeds are averaging 88kbps?? Before, at the old house with a wired router I was getting 348kbps. When I do the speed test here it shows 650kbps on average. I am running Vista Ultimate x64 AMD 5600, 4GB ram...etc. I have an ASUS motherboard and am using the Wi-Fi on their board...any thoughts??
