| OOL FTP speed test is BULLSHIT
When downloading test64 i usually get 1.2mb/sec , while when taking any other bandwith tests including the optimum online test at www.optonline.com i don't get over 5mbps. With or without a router. I tried downloading test64 from my friend's house who has a 56k he gets 30kb/sec on it.
When downloading regular files the speeds accelerate to 600 than deccelerate to 200. What is up? |

The test64 file is a text file. 56kb modems do compression which is why you see the higher then normal speeds when downloading the file.
Don't know if the modem would interpret test64.exe differently, in the same directory, but maybe try that.
As for your other speeds... what OS are you running, what Java, how fast a PC, etc.

| I have 3 PC in the house . Just got NR041..so the OOL FTP test speeds are fine. All use XP. Just intalled SP1 so the Java versions are also the same. Speeds: 750MHX,1.2GHZ,2.5GHZ. What speed test is more accurate Speakeasy or OOLFTP?

| Believe the OOL FTP test. What speeds you get on the others are not really relevant. You tweak to make sure you're optimally configured. Test will show different values on different runs for many reasons. You seem to be fine, so don't sweat the other tests.

Java speedtest apps suck, They are notoriously wrong and can vary depending on what JVM and computer you use. |

Try this one and take Java and the browser out of the picture. Run it in a command prompt.

Is your modem the RCA, 3COM? Foul language is not gonna help you. You need to have patience.

I am have my normal slowdown now , but my speed translates into 5063 in Speakeasy terms.
Your speed of 1124.14 = 9208 in Speakeasy terms. The OOL cap is 10,000. You cannot get any better than what you have.

Las Vegas, NV | Doesn't make any difference as OOL uses the MODEM's MAC for ID and not the name.

The SURFboard cable modem can be used as a gateway to the Internet by a maximum of 32 users on a Local Area Network (LAN). When the Cable Modem is disconnected from the Internet, users on the LAN can be dynamically assigned IP Addresses by the Cable Modem DHCP Server. These addresses are assigned from an address pool which begins with 192.168.100.11 and ends with 192.168.100.42. Statically assigned IP addresses for other devices on the LAN should be chosen from outside of this range
Note:
Resetting the cable modem to its factory default configuration will remove all stored parameters learned by the cable modem during prior initializations. The process to get back online from a factory default condition could take from 5 to 30 minutes. Please reference the cable modem User Guide for details on the power up sequence.
JUST POSTING UP MODEM INFO...can you conclude anything from this?

That under 1 minute on the command prompt test is about the best I've seen. This forum is for people with problems. What's yours?

First, please relax and watch your language.
No one ever said everyone had to get the same speeds.
Forget about fabricated speed tests.
There are 2 tests that really matter in figuring out if you have a problem.
1 - The OOL Ftp test. That tests your connection without factoring in the "internet" in any way.
2 - Any large file from a fast FTP server outside of OOL - This does factor in OOL's backbone connection.
I suggest this file:
»ftp://ftp.aol.com/clients/aol80/comp01.000
If you get speeds over 700KB or so, then there's NOTHING at all to complain or worry about. That's the speed you are capable of getting. Why you score lower on some sort of java speed test, who really cares.
Let us know what you average for the above file. |
