Re: 5 meg up? LAME!
That almost sounds like an Ethernet duplex mismatch. |

Smyrna, GA | To give them some credit, they did reprovision the modem and now we are getting about 7.7 meg down and 1.9 meg up. Have seen the download drop to the 3 to 4 meg range but upload has been consistent so far. |

| Make sure the bandwidth test machine has an optimized TCP RWIN/MTU. If the test machine is Windows, I've seen some not-so-minor speed test improvements when the TCP stack is tweaked.
I also would not test using wireless. As good as today's WiFi is, wires still have an edge.
However, based on your last comment, I don't recommend you do this. After they re-provisioned the modem it sounds like you are very close to achieving your package speeds. Tweaking won't buy you that much and you would have to do it to every desktop in your office. If you pay for 8 and you are getting 7.7, I think 300Kbps is within the protocol "overhead" range.
Regarding when it slows down, is this to all sites? Sometimes it really can be the site on the other end. |
