Re: Sure Web Based Speed Testers are accurate ! Dude, he is trying to tell you that the tweaks don't work if your sector is overloaded and it hasn't been upgraded yet. I, too, am in 169, and I can say for a fact that the tweaks do not work in my/our sector. Last week, Sprint fixed Sector 191 with additional equipment setup at the tower specifically for that sector. For whatever reason, they did NOT do anything for 169 despite having promised to do so. With a fixed sector and the tweaks, your uploads are better (but still not what they SHOULD be, by the way). Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about Sector 169.
SPRINT-WE IN 169 ARE STILL WAITING. WHAT IS THE HOLDUP? |

Los Gatos, CA | I am in sector 191, SJ area. About a week ago I changed my MTU to 1100 and have been running two speed test a day since.
Uploads are definitely better. The average of 14 test prior to the change is 41kbits. The average of the nine test since is 77 kbits including the 125kb I got today.
Is it new equipment or the change in MTU? I don't know. It may be both. It will take some addition testing to determine.
Now if I could just figure out why Napster uploads fail about 75% of the time. I even tried my backup PC with W98 but experienced the same problem. Any ideas out there? |
