bandwidth test

** Speed 750(down)/136(up) kbps **
(At least 13 times faster than a 56k modem)
Finish.


Woooo, Ameritech DSL


Course, that *IS* the speed I pay for hehe

What registery tweaks are those Evil... I'll have cable tomorrow and want to get all that i can get out of it..

AHH FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!

Test running..........
** Speed 679(down)/116(up) kbps **
(At least 13 times faster than a 56k modem)
Finish.

Ah, these scores are great for me!!

Your download speed : 538470 bps, or 538 kbps.
Browsers would show : about a 65.7 k/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 204603 bps, or 204 kbps.

What we are actually paying for: 640/240. Pretty good if you ask me. I like having fast upload speed as I upload files for my website and stuff..

(At least 121 times faster than a 56k modem)
Finish.

This is my connection at work. Stupid network is only set to 10baseT half duplex. Once we are 100base full, this should kick major A$$

Test running..........
** Speed 2322(down)/114(up) kbps **

Finish.

I'm enjoying while I can, in a week or so I go to the comcast network where I will lose at least a meg down, ugh.

I havent "re-tweaked" my registry since reloading Win2K but I do know that it makes those scores ALOT higher tham normal yet I'm not so sure that it's really speeding up the connection or just somehow fooling those tests.

At work now the 56K modem tests "about modem speed" ....VERY Freakin' SLOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW This thing's painfull to use online.

Your download speed : 1936858 bps, or 1936 kbps.
Browsers would show : about a 236.4 k/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 245438 bps, or 245 kbps.
Your connection rocks .. above the 1mbit barrier!

Took the test while Morpheus was Uploading and Downloading a couple files

The best I've gotten from my faster main PC was only "41Xs 56K modem speed". There's one Win2K/XP patch that applies to cable at the Speedguide site but I'm not sure it's doing anything as it's not opening anything relevant when clicked after DLing (it opened ACD Intouch install program on my PC ) and nothing's changed afterwords (and rebooting). I do also have a sys tray O BS running ( including a router firewall, plus zonealarm, etc, etc) so maybe that's slowing my test speed down? I'll try shutting all that down and re-testing later.

Try a patch called "Cablenut408". It has Win2K and 9X patches and allows you to manually
adjust settings.

Nowadays those speed hacks really don't seem to do much for you. I don't use them anymore.

There's absolutely no way you can increase your bandwidth - that's controlled on their end. All you can do is tweak the efficiency of your network connection to optimize it for either browsing, downloading or gaming.

The registry hacks at SpeedGuide are really optimized more for gaming, and generally your browning and downloads will suffer a bit.

I use the default registry settings now - seems to be the best tradeoff all around.


Oh, BTW Evil, if a program executed when your clicked on the registry hack, it means you have .REG files associated with that program. You need to fix that. It should be associated with REGEDIT. Use this command line:

regedit.exe "%1"

this is at work, i'm not sure what we have, but there is a huge fan in the modem bank room blasting cold air.

Test running..........
