Hey Kriminul and Rainallday, make sure you also intall the other patches. I installed them in this order....1)Vtcp.386(then reboot) 2) the revised win98 Mtu speed patch 3) the Web page fast load patch. After these are done..reboot. Finally, download and apply the @home speed patch. Make sure you ...

Hey Rainallday, that's the @home cable patch which will give you a RWIN of 373360. For some reason, this RWIN gives me better download speeds. I consistenty download in the range of 130-180kbps on sites such as CNET and other good servers. I'm about 16,300 feet from my CO and I generally get decent ...

Hey Kriminul..I too use the PPPoA USB DSL modem with bellsouth and I have applied the speed patches from here along with the @home speed patch. I get download speeds of anywhere in the range of 130-180kb on a average server. I too was confused at first but after this combo working for me to my ...

dbnukes

Try one and if you don't like it, cancel and get the other..that's what I did..and it works great!!!!

dbnukes

Point taken Carlos, but it doesn't matter because Charter still sux and they are nothing but full of lies and deception man!

dbnukes

Charter Sux PERIOD!!! Nuff said!!

dbnukes

That is the RWin of the @home cable speed patch. Actually I,m on Bellsouth DSL and I have applied that patch as well as the speedguide 98 patch and the faster web page patch and I find that it works best for me. I have tried all other combinations and the combos actually didn't improve me much like ...

dbnukes

Can't we all just get along here?

dbnukes

Sounds like you're capped dude. Call them as ask if they set a cap on your line.

dbnukes

The speed will depend on what kind of package your cable company will offer you and what you are willing to pay for. If you pay for more speed then you'll get it and well of course, the cable company will have to offer the more speed option!! It would have to be a real good cable company to do this ...

dbnukes

Hey dude, with some patches from here, you should get pretty decent speeds! I live in Louisiana and my speeds with the patches average between 600 and 1.3Mpbs. Now you will every now and then get some lower readings when you do a speed test but at least it's not consistent at those lower speeds. My ...

I tried accessing my newsgroups through bellsouth only to find out that all the Binary files are always deleted or pulled out. The dude at the help desk told me that Bellsouth doesn't support downloading in the newsgroups. Ok, excuse me, but it this is a common practice for Bellsouth then that ...

Go to the library and get a medical picture thesaurus and look up "LUNGS". There you will find a picture of what the inside of a 30 year smokers lung looks like. If you don't go cold turkey after that then try a patch I guess!

Ok, Prey, let me ask you this, do the good sound cards sound as good as a stereo receiver in your home? Does it have an internal amplifier built into it to belt out some incredible sound just as your home stereo would? I do realize also that good computer speakers are of utmost inportance!

dbnukes

O.K., I realize Internet Explorer 5.5 is the most common browser but has anybody used the speedguide patches with the netscape browser and is so, how did it work?

dbnukes

Can someone tell me what the diffrence between a sound card and an integrated sound chip on a motherboard is? I guess what I really need to know is if one is better than the other and why? I know they have some very expensive sound cards out there..over 200 bucks(obviously for that kind of money, it ...

dbnukes

Can anybody tell me why all my files in my news.msy.bellsouth.net newsgroup shows up as missing all the time? I'm using the Agent newsreader program for my newsgroups. Everytime I search for new headers and it pulls them up, all the files that are downloadable files show up as being missing or empty ...

dbnukes

This may sound like a silly question, but did you fully execute the patch after downloading it?

dbnukes

Oh, don't get me wrong, I have no doubt that for some people Charter performs better than thier original 56k modem but for a lot of others, they just as well stick with their 56k connection. Id does depend on area but you have to understand another factor and that is "they're capping crazy" and yes ...

dbnukes

I have DSL 1.5/256 and I had applied the 98 mtu patch, the vtcp.386 update, the fast web page loading patch. My speeds did increase but not that much. I then downloaded the @home speed patch and Wa-bam, my speed shot up greatly. Go figure, with its 373360 Rwin! By the way, I'm running on Windows 98 ...

dbnukes

Don't fool with Charter Pipeline period!!
I said it a million times and I'll say it again, it sucks to supreme heaven and anybody who subscribes to it's service has to be quite desperate. You DO get better service with a 56k dialup than charter gives you!

dbnukes

I'v got Bellsouth DSL and I'm using Agent Newsreader for my newsgroups. When I pull up a newsgroup, all the files whether it be movie, game or whatever always shows as missing(not there or deleted) and this seems to be all the "good" files if you know what I mean. What's up with this? Anybody that ...

dbnukes

I have bellsouth ADSL PPPoA and I tried both. Then one you need to use if you have the USB Speedtouch modem is the non pppoe patch. You are not utilizing an ethernet connection so if you were to use the PPPoE patch, your results will NOT be as good. I tried both and the one that works best for me is ...

dbnukes

It's a Alcatel Speed touch USB modem. Looks like a green sting ray. And what is ATM?

dbnukes

Hey dudes, sorry but my DSL connection is a PPPoA connection according to Bellsouth's technical help desk. I'm using a speed touch USB modem and you have to go through the log on screen first before you actually get on the internet.

dbnukes

This may seem crazy but it appears that after you install speed patches with Charter, they cap you off. It's almost as though thier spying on the speed you're getting through your DOCSIS modem. I know this sounds far fetched but this seems to be happening to most Charter users. It definitely ...

dbnukes

Hey GLC, I use Bellsouth DSL, is this a PPPoE connection? It does use a dial up or logon configuration before it connects to the internet. Is this a signal of PPPoE?

dbnukes

If I want to install the following speed patches in what order should they be installed? 1)PPPoE Mtu patch, 2) the Vtcp.386, 3)the web page fast load patch, and then the 4) the @home speed patch.

Thanks!

dbnukes

Sorry to say bud..but I said it a million times and I'll say it again..Charter SUCKS! I had it and then got rid of it. For one, they promise you all the speed in the world and then they'll cap ya. I had it for about 2 months. I had applied speed patches when I first got it and my bandwith really ...

dbnukes

Hmmm, I have a USB DSL modem and have no problems with it. It's amazing how some people do have problems and some don't. Anyhow my system is one with an AMD K6 2 processor 350mhz and works just fine!

dbnukes

O.K. this is the deal..I had cable with charter clogline. When I first got it, it was great and then the service started to suck. They capped me big time!! Anyhow, I got Bellsouth DSL and with a few speed tweaks on the registry, I couldn't fathom surfing the net without it!! Bellsouth here by me has ...

dbnukes

Yeah, that must be those Asian and European sex sites eh?

dbnukes

Man, this is so great that I can cream on myself (he he he) No pun intended! Hey dudes, it's combination. Keep trying and you'll eventually get the one that works right for you!!!

dbnukes

Ok, this is what I did and believe it or not it worked for me. I applied the windows 98 speed patch and then the web page load patch. After these were installed, I re-booted and then downloaded and installed the @home patch. My speeds are now pretty consistent and now average between 800kbps and 1 ...

dbnukes

Is it common for bandwith speeds to fluctuate on a DSL line? I can run 4 speed tests one behind the other on 2wire.com and all four times get diffrent speeds. For example..#1 will read 384kbps, #2 is 558kbps, #3 is 1235kbps and #4 is 670kbps. Is this normal? If not, what is going on here and why do ...

dbnukes

Which speed patch seems to be working the best for most DSL users, the speedguide patches or the cablenut patch? And another question..I can't find my Vtcp.386 file in the systems folder. Where else could if be and what the hell could have happened to it? I'm running on windows 98. Thanks

dbnukes

Yeah, some Charter users are not having too many problems with speed but the majority are. It's a shame, it seems at though Charter's Pipeline is getting severely clogged! Any way you slice the pie though, Charter has nothing left to be desired as far as broadband is concerned. I feel pity for all ...

dbnukes

I apologize, it's not on their main web site, it's on the local website for Slidell, Louisiana in which it says that.

dbnukes

If you log on to Charter Pipeline's website, they state that there will never be a decrease in speed due to the face that they have enough bandwith capacity for each and every household. They also compare cable to dsl and state that their cable modem service is superior the dsl because "their ...

dbnukes

I'll tell you this, when you first get your cable modem, you won't be capped. It is a way for your cable company to intice you. Proably for about a month, your speeds will be pretty fast and reliable then all of a sudden, your speed will drop dramatically. That my friends is the cap. Look for it ...
