[help] Problems with Pro Speed Consistency

Do you have java installed? »java.com

I assume you do because the Speakeasy test works.

Also, on the SBC speed test sites, this is a known issue. If you just refresh the page it should run.

You must also be pingable in order for the line quality test to work properly.

I've not tested the download speed since I got the package, but I have also seen inconsistancy in the upload speed, as measured by the usenet posting application I have.

I got very inconsistant downloads at the start, it settled out to 2400ish and I've let it be.

It's time to reboot modem and all, but I have never seen the upload speed affected by that.

Thanks for the suggestions - I have been out of the picture since a recent family event took priority.

I do have java installed. I tried refreshing during the SBC Speed Test with no luck. However, I don't believe I can be pinged. I do have every firewall on my Linksys router enabled and am hesitant to disable it to run the tests. What do you think? Do I disable the firewall or is there a way to modify it and yet stay secure?

I appreciate the feedback. My speeds are still all over the place and I would love to figure it out by tweaking my connection.

One other thing, I am using a 5100b and am seeing potential problems with that modem. Any thought?

I have an RWIN of 21K, it works best for me. The site talked about 25K. That was real bad for me.

Here the results from speedguide:

If you're off a CO, then your RWIN is OK. If you're off a RT, you need to lower your RWIN to 13068 with DrTCP. »Tweaking FAQ »DRTCP: How do I use it and what are all these settings? leave everything else at default.

RT fed, clean and green from stem to stern..

Why the 13K didnt work best for me, I have no clue. I'm pretty sure that whatever it is, it's nothing on the PC's here. I messed with three machines, all got the best and most consistant at 21K something.

When I was 1.5/384, the 13K worked like a charm. But I also had to re-tweak to 13K after the upload upgrade.

Thanks for the continued help from everyone. At least I know it is something on my end.

I tried lowering my RWIN with DrTCP and am now seeing speeds as low as 1400 down which is a new low for me and still haven't seen much above 2000 up.

I wish I could pass along my Test History. You could see that the first few days I always had over 2400 up and over 400 down. Now it is all over the place.

Any other ideas?

If the lower RWIN on a RT connection made you slower, then you need to check some things on your end. Filters, cables, cordless phones, modem to close to monitor. Remove router (if you use 1), uninstall firewall (if using ZA 5.xx).

Are you using a wireless router/card by any chance? If so, try changing the channel. Someone could have a wireless phone that's occasionally interferring.

Looks like I have some troubleshooting to do. I'll keep you all informed once I go through the various steps.
