How Fast is Your Cable Connection??

[SharkB8]

Will those with a cable connection please go to Broadband Speed Test and see what you test out at. Just curious because I tweaked my registery to optomize my system for broad band and mine started testing out in stratospherical levels.Cable Modem & DSL Speed Tweak for Windows 95 & 98 After the registery tweak I am now in the 4000-4500Kbps range in every test. This seems a little high to me....not that I am complaining.

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.

digitalman-
Here is your cable/DSL tweak for WIN2000. Cable Modem & DSL Speed Tweak for Windows 2000 Check out the entire site, lots of good stuff!!

 

[Out to Lunch]

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

 

[snow patrol]

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

Should this help WinMe as well?

Aybara-
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.

PC_Freak-
This patch is for WIN 95-98 so yes it would work for you.

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.

 

[frostgiant]

www.speedus.com is more accurate.

 

[BCYL]

This is what I get from the Microsoft's test:

1357.7 Kbps


166.4 K bytes/sec

 

[davisdog]

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)

 

[Adul]

i gotten real world downloads of 480 KB(3840 Mbps) on many occasions. Though it took like 12 downloads to get that.

 

[convex]

what was it before? 4mbit is rare, but not unheard of with cable...especially if you're the only one on your node

 

[Zipperhead]

that test is bogus,i get 6800-883 no way.here is a link to a small free
utility.netspeed

 

[Fallen Kell]

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!
