Anyone using a 10/1000Mbits card and notice any significant increase in speed ?

I know that it should not have any effect on broadband DSL/Cable, but I would still like to know in real world...

This is why I have a ferrite on the RJ-11 cable just before the modem and one on the ethernet cable right before the NIC. Actually a ferrite bead will stop RFI/EMI from both radiating out of the...

Where did you order them from and how much ?

I was lucky enough to find them locally, I found the 0.26ID for the RG-6 coax/ethernet and 0.20ID ones for the RJ-11 phone cable. You can also use...

Well not quite true, any cable whether shielded or unshielded (skin effect of common mode) will act like an antenna and believe me my set-up is very clean and organized. Your telephone wire acts...

Yes, those are the slit core ferrites I am talking about. With the majority of ADSL2+ modems in use, I don't think any of them are shielded with just a plastic housing where RFI/EMI can generate...

Wow, still no response from anyone ?

Anyhow, I have found a way to conclude with objective evidence that the ferrite choke really works in increasing speed. Since CAT5e cables are normally...

It is uncommon and almost unheard of here in North American to slap a ferrite core onto an ethernet cable unlike in Europe, so I did and my speed really shot up. Case in point that EMI/RFI can...

I have a D-Link DFE-530TX NIC and I updated the Windows XP driver to the latest D-Link driver which has several more settings and I would like to know what settings/value I should set it to for...

There always a 17% decrease from the promised speed because of overhead

Yes thanks, now it is, wasn't earlier this morning.

Is the Analyzer working today, I get a blank page today, it was working earlier ?

When they originally connected my modem to ADSL2, the tech phoned me and said that 512kbs up was the best he could do. I then use their online chat service and they checked my line was able to use...

A bit better on upload and download on a different server

I recently made a compliant to Sympatico's corporate offices and one of their VPs got into my case and this is the result. They re did my profile 3 times since Friday afternoon. I know this the max...

It depends on the model of modem you have. SpeedStream 5200 series can select "Autoconnect on Disconnect" and "Idle after XX Minutes" through it web interface options through your ISP. Normally the...

Another call to Bell to raise my upload speed from 512 to 800 and I got another 240kbs up just for asking. They changed my profile with no questions asked, I just wonder why they just don't it in...

I just got my 5200 hooked up and I hear a low high pitch sound come from it. Do any of you get the same ?

I got so pissed off with their run around I sent an email to Bell Canada Enterprises' corporate office and did I get a response and action fast !

The VP of operations phones me the next morning by...

At least your getting this, what kind of modem do you have - Speed Stream 5200 ?

I have been stuck with their old 1 Meg Nortel modem with only 800kbps down and 108kbps up for 6 years. I phoned...

7. I notice a slower boot time, or delays / Blackouts or Time-outs while waiting for webpages to load.
1) Go to "Start" -> "Control Panel"
2) Click on "Network & Internet Connections"
3) Click on...

If i read it right in ie goto tools internet options, connections, lan settings make sure nothing is checked

No, I mean just when XP boots up I have to wait like 30-60 secs before I'am able to...

Ok, I want to have my NIC recognized faster in XP without using its auto detect that takes forever. I have learned this the hard way after assigning an IP address and submask to the Local Area...

Well, assigning an IP address and submask to Local Area Connection instead of Auto Assign IP Address seem to have solved the problem. I'am not using any 2nd party PPPoE software other than XPs...

Just upgraded to XP and I noticed that when I try to logon to my ISP(PPPoE) it takes like 30-60 sec for XP to finish detecting the NIC or whatever before the logon box can be displayed, this is so...

Download Cablenut or follow the instructions in Advance Registry tweaks on this page. You should set your MTU to 1492 and RWin to 255552 and Scale ON. Try that first and post back here with your...

...LoL So whats your speed now ???

Looks sweet ! ...you wear a stud too ?

Better watch it, Canada hangs drunk drivers on the spot without a trial !!! ...LoL

Of all the v90 56K modems I have used, the Diamond Supra Express was the best and fastest, so you have a good modem there.
