dficken: On my Linksys router I only had to put in the DNS address, my user name and password. I left the host name and domain name blank.

I ran a couple more tests and found that if I choose the 200KB file test I get download speeds around 1.7Mbps. If I choose the 605KB test my speed is 1Mbps. It looks like they have a cap that kicks in on files over a certain size. (500KB?) Can anyone confirm this?

So far I'm not impressed with the performance. In general surfing it apears to be slower and I seem to get more stall outs. I've only run a few performance tests, but the results don't look good. My download speeds have been around 750Kbps-1Mbps which is about half as fast as I was typically getting ...

Does anyone know where I can find the MIB file for a Linksys 4-port cable/dsl router? I searched the Linksys web page and did not find it.

You guys aren't giving me much to look forward too. I live in the St. Louis area and @Home just agreed to sell their St. Louis customers to Charter. Sounds like things are going from bad to worse. Ugh.

Regardless of the type of connection (cable, DSL, T1, T3) the far end device will send acknowledgement packets back to the near end PC. Since these packets being received at the near end, they will occupy a small amount of downstream bandwidth. I don't know what percentage that amounts to.

The ...

I was curious how many different brand of cable modems @home uses in the St. Louis area. I'm served out of the St. Peters office and I was given a COM21 DOXport 111. It seems to work well, but I have no idea how it compares with some of the other modems out there. Does @home offer another model that ...

What are your thoughts on the announcement by AT&T that they will sell their cable customers in St. Louis to Charter Communications? Charter was probably the first cable company in St. Louis to begin offering Internet service, but I don't know if things will be any better for @home customers after ...

I have a Linksys router with firmware revision 1.36. When I use a ping -f -l [packet size] command to determine my largest non-fragmented packet size I get 1472. The "Advanced Registry Tweaks" section of this web site tells me I should set my MaxMTU to 1500 based on these results. Now according to ...

Bud,
Thanks. I went to the dslreports site and tried the upload test there. My speed looked a little more reasonable (just under 120kbps). Download speed measured pretty much the same as on thebandwidthplace.com. I'm not sure why there is such a difference in the upload measurement, but obviously I ...

What kind of upstream speeds are you guys seeing? I've checked mine several times at different times of day. My upload speeds range from about 30Kbits/sec to 48Kbits/sec (using [url=http://www.thebandwidthplace.com).]www.thebandwidthplace.com).[/url] Ugh, not much faster than my 28.8K dial up. Even ...

Does anyone know if the upgrade planned for 2/1/01 actually occurred? I haven't been able to get on @Home for the past two days so I can't check the performance. :mad:
I got my @Home service installed about a week ago and like most of you I'm terribly disappointed with the congestion in the ...
