How Fast is Your Cable Connection??

without any tweaks, i am running Win2000 at aprox 1.5 down/180 up... I don't really know of any tweaks for Win2000 though or maybe i could get a little more speed out of the cable company.

First time I tried I got 1000/150
Applied the tweaks and rebooted and got 1100/140.

Then hit refresh a couple of times in the browser and I get 3000/379 - seems to be getting the screens out of cache.

Theres No way your getting 4000-4500Kbps FROM a cable modem. Thats like having a T-3 line, if IM not mistaking.
 
BuckMaster-
I hear ya, that's the reason for this post. Just ran the test at Bandwidth Speed Test and got the following results:
4689.7 Kbps
574.7 K bytes/sec


Just ran the test at DSL Reports and got:

West Coast
** Speed 2945(down)/233(up) kbps **
(At least 58 times faster than a 56k modem)
Finish.

East Coast
** Speed 2952(down)/236(up) kbps **
(At least 59 times faster than a 56k modem)
Finish.

I am new to the broadband scene and these tests seem a little high to me. Someone please define the data I am getting on these tests and what it means.

 
well I usually get around 1000k down on the microsoft test. Where do you live Shark? I may want to move there hehe
 
I usally get about 450-500k (but that's on a 512K ADSL line...wow, I can't imagine it TEN times faster, that must be sweet 🙂

I live in Kansas and no, you would not want to live here. So far this awesome cable connection is the only good thing I can find about living here. A note to all. When Road Runner came to install this I demanded they string a new cable from the pole to my house. I also got a roll of cable to run inside my house from them the week before. I made sure that the cable modem was the first thing that taps off this new line then the TV's. I think that is important if you can do it.

This patch is for WIN 95-98 so yes it would work for you.
Cable Modem & DSL Speed Tweak for Windows 95 & 98
 
SharkB8,

Grin, I usally get between 600-900K. Im in the middle of fisnishing my basement. I ran a 2 seperate cables 1 for my Cable Modem and the other for my TV's. Ran it all in RG6 Cable.
 
I get ~1500 kbs on the MSN test, ~3300 kbps on the speedus test...I like the 2nd better, but can't complain about either (ATT@home Cable in SF Bay Area)
 
i gotten real world downloads of 480 KB(3840 Mbps) on many occasions. Though it took like 12 downloads to get that.
 
what was it before? 4mbit is rare, but not unheard of with cable...especially if you're the only one on your node
 
Well, before tweaking I was getting:
1436/161 from ComputingCentral
2201 from Speedus

After tweaking:
4513/593
6942

I use cable modem. Damm those were some sweet tweaks. Boosted me WAY UP!
