Well, I was willing to eat some crow on this one, but crow just aint on the menu this evening.
I attached my cable modem directly to the grounding block, and here are my results.
Direct Connection to grounding block
Downstream
Power .52 dBmV
Signal to noise ratio 34dB
Upstream
Power
39.25 dBmV
Speed test results were 3341 down, 348 up
Connected through my home's CATV wiring
Downstream
Power -3.09 dBmV
Signal to noise ration 34 dB
Upstream
Power 44.0 dBmV
Speed test results 3650 down, 348 up
Looks like the problem isn't the wiring. the 44 dBmV on the upstream isn't the best, but it's well within the limits, and I should be getting full speed with it.
Well, I'm getting PM'ed from the system, my trace route is in.... |

As long as your S/N ratios are within spec as well as your transmit and receive power levels are good, you usually do not see an increase or decrease in speed.
What tends to happen is that as the upstream transmit power approached 50+ you start to lose sync and it sometimes appears as slow speeds.
your 44 reading is fine. |

Right, which means you're making an unfair comparison. Compare dynamic Comcast with dynamic SBC Expert Plus.

beat this.
free wireless internet that i bum off the neighbor. Adelphias HSI 4 mbit down 512 up. Its running pretty good. Latencity is a bit high but i think thats due to the wireless.
Free cable tv, that i bumed off the cable box in the utility closet. Of course its basic cable but it has the essentials.
$52.17 for unlimited nationwide cellular minutes. only drawback to this is, the phone only works in south florida. Not to bad because i dont travel out of south florida.
this is the ideal economic setup for a college student like me. Someday ill actually be able to afford the stuff, until then im living it up. |

| I look forward to your future arrest for stealing cable and using bandwidth that doesn't belong to you - here's an idea: Get a job - that's what I did when I attended college.
Sad that you actually take pride for being lazy - how pathetic.

Good for you! I might check with the neighbor. Hey I'd say if the cable company didn't shut off the line then too bad for them! You might want to go cheaper with like sunrocket and then get a prepaid cellular. Cingular has for $9 per month. Sunrocket is $18 a month. So you just half'd your bill! |

| yeah ive talked with the neighbor, i help him out with his computer troubles, and he hooks me up. Its all gravy that way. If i wasnt buming cable id be buming satellite. I just cant bring myself to pay to watch tv that is riddled with advertisements.
with the good ol cell phone i get unlimited minutes which is a plus. i havent heard anything good about the prepaid phones yet.
O yeah i cut my electric bill in half by running a carefully camo extension cord that connects to the apartment communities street lamps. This beast powers my computer and all its accessories along with the television.
lol, future arrest for stealing cable. you cant prove it! the cable company just accidentally hooked the wrong cable up. I do have a job good sir, thats how i afford the rest of the bills.
And yes i take pride in everything i do. |

said by UnKown :lol, future arrest for stealing cable. you cant prove it! the cable company just accidentally hooked the wrong cable up. Thats called Passive Theft.:p
»www.ncta.com/press/press.cfm?PRi···icles=ok
Active theft, typically the focus of past signal theft efforts, is the result of illegal physical connections to the cable plant, or attaching or tampering with equipment to allow the reception of unauthorized services. Passive theft occurs when a consumer passively accepts cable services that are inadvertently flowing into the home due to faulty technical or operational procedures. Consumers are generally aware of passive theft because they're receiving services for which they're not being billed.
Sure you may not go to jail for it, but you can be sued in civil court and end up paying $$$. |
