"STRANGE" download & upload speeds! Please Help Me

Post by athomeS-U-C-K-S »

I went to a test site and the results were:
Your download speed : 840075 bps, or 840 kbps.
Browsers would show : about a 102.5 k/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 121396 bps, or 121 kbps

I dont download at 102 and I dont upload at kbps..My speeds are terrible. I tried the speed patch on Cablenut.com but it didnt work. Could someone please give a post with all the patches and tweaks that have been known to improve you internet d/u. I'm very pissed off seeing fellow @homers downloading 3x as fast as me and 5x uploading than me. I appreciate any help at all. I can give something In return for anyons help.

What are your actaul speeds then and what are your caps?
Don't expect to get the same performance as other @Homers. Performance varies from cable affiliate to cable affiliate and area to area.

When I asked for actual speeds, I was referring to every day download/upload performance, not web-based speed test performance. Try downloading from fast sites, such as microsoft.com, download.com, etc. As for caps, you need to contact your provider.

Have your tried the appropriate registry patch yet?

3 threads out here 2 in tweaking, he does not need patch, look at what he had when he got here and what he has now, I know what he needs and you can't download it!!!!!!
