Hmmm
I asked my ISP about the interleaving, mine is interleaved, if it could be removed.

They said outright and kind of angry, NO!

They also said, our interleaving is set across the board and we will not change it.

My ISP is HTCC, Horry Telephone Cooperative Communications

They supplied a ...

Speaking of interleave, is that something the ISP could set per user, or is it 1 setting effecting all users on that particular dslam? or wherever interleaving is set.

Actually, 66.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP of my cable modem which is hooked up to my netgear router.

I was just curious if that message from VR was worth worrying about.

Thanks.

Hello all.

I recently noticed this when I do a trace to my IP using VisualRoute trace route program. This was done with the program on my machine and from the VisualRoute server (live demo) at their site

My ISP, HTC@Home is fixing to drop @Home.

I'm sure their are more reasons than just the ones they told me about, but anyway, I'm glad that they are dropping @Home.

starts out at 360KB/Sec sometimes even higher and continually drops to 40KB ...

Thanks tomsykes,

I guess I should have mentioned in the first post, that this is a 1 way cable modem service provided by HTC@Home.

I'm just upset that the performance is so bad, even for 1 way cable.

I have seen 28.8 modems beat this

ispark

yep, thats true joepassavanti,

however, there is one thing the tracert dosen't show, and thats the 15 to 20% packet loss at hops 10 and 11

i know you can assign priority to ping requests, but i don't think this group of nodes or routers is doing that.

i'm still curious as to why they named the ...

Is your hard disk on a ATA100 connector? primary or secondary?

If it is, move it to the primary IDE connector.
