Optimizing my internet connection

quinemar · Post by **quinemar** » Wed Oct 17, 2007 9:14 am

Hello

I'm from the philippines. I'm currently using a P4 2.4Ghz PC and a windows XP OS. I am using a wireless broadband with a 384 kbps. I did some speed test and I just want to know if I can still increase my download and upload speed.

Here's the speed test result I got

Hello

I've been busy all these days that's why I can't perform the speedtest.
Sir here's the result of the speed test. How can I make my upload speed just like my download speed?

download « 234 kbps ↓
upload « 185 kbps ↑

Thanks

Do a tracert to http://www.yahoo.com and post.

To do a tracert, click 'Start' and then 'Run'. Type "cmd" into the box and click 'ok'.

A DOS black screen will appear. Type after the C:\>

tracert http://www.yahoo.com

and press enter key

When test is completed, move mouse cursor to the DOS black screen, click right and choose 'select all'.

Move mouse cursor to the Quick Reply box of this forum, click right and 'paste'.

You have quite a big problem with signal quality.

Usual ping times at your router in hop 1 would all be <1ms and those at the modem in hop 2 would all be less than 50ms.

The cause of the problem could be:

- Router/modem being placed near to some strong source of electrical interference
- bad firmware
- spyware/malware infesting your comp.

quinemar · Post by **quinemar** » Fri Nov 09, 2007 8:21 pm

Hello

I've check the router and it is far from any electrical interference. Does an electrical power plant substation affects the signal?

What do you mean by bad firmware?

Everytime I run spybot my pc hangs in the middle of the scan. What should I do?

Thanks

Flush your comp and clean your registry with CCleaner first.

My pc was under repair this past few weeks and here's my speed result. I'm still using a wireless broadband. Can I still have more than 384 kb/s speed?

Thanks

Use the settings I gave with TCP Window at 32120.

After reboot, do a speed test at http://www.pldtdsl.com

Using bayantel

Why did the speed got slower? did i miss something?
