Broadband speed

[sinned]

My internet connection is real slow. Impossible to watch any youtube files during the download.


It was two to three times this when first connected. I have had TelstraClear at my door trying to sell me their cable service. Should I make the switch?

A test this morning shows a much higher speed.
I guess the reason for the difference is network load. So is this an issue with how the ISP manages the network?

Other things that can cause a big variance on speed is faulty devices on the same phone line.

Try unplugging everything from the phone line that the ADSL circuit is on, except for the ADSL modem of course, and see if that changes your download performance.

Sometimes the copper line insulation can break down allowing in moisture. Moisture kills the signal. Was it perhaps raining when you got a poor result, and it is dryer when you got a better result (can take several days to dry out though).

You're not on VDSL2 are you?

id say run spybot, updated, if that fails reset your modem,
if that fails run windows in safe mode with networking,

if that fails, goto startmenu --> run type iexplore

type "1.1.1.1" if prompted for username and password type in "admin and admin"

this will bring u to your modem page, search the tabs for a line statistics or connection statistics, and check your line speed, etc etc,

if 1.1.1.1 doesnt work,

goto my network, show connections, right click lan--> properties,
on first tab scroll down to internet protocol tcp/ip or something like that

double click, or highlight and click properties, make sure its all set to auto,

if its not get the ip, and type that in internet explorer.

good luck

nah .. plugged into a local loop provider (Velocity networks) and get data from fx networks .. but I pay for it .. the speed test is relative to the bill I pay every month

Damn whats this?

dunno try again, but on a note about snap, if you go and browse results from around the world and look at new zealand, SNAP features near the top for download speeds in all the main regions....mmmm.......might be time to swap

Tried again:



Bad ping but still good. (CPIT)

For those of you getting REALLY low speeds, unplug everything plugged into a phoneline in your house, phones, faxes, sky boxes, alarm systems, etc etc.. EVERYTHING, then reset your modem, then redo the speed test. If it gets faster, then you need to get filters for your other stuffs. The sky box is a common one people dont think about.

How do you get the screenshot to post up?
