Moderators rridgely Posted May 22, 2005 Moderators Share Posted May 22, 2005 I went here to test out my bandwidth after I got my new router. http://bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/ It said that my connection was 3.8 megabits. I have a cable connection through Adelphia. What is your connection? I was just curious how my connection compared to other cable or dsl connections.

Mudd Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Try "www.Jeromy.net/chr" and it will give you several hits for an average time. Offers slow to fast connections test. Mudd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offers slow to fast connections test. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I ran the test on the highest speed and it said that my connection was 4.8 megabits! I dont know if this is accurate but its certainly better than 3.8 megabits. Tarun try it too and post your results. I want something to compare my results to.

Mudd Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 There is a program available by the name "CableNut" for free download on the internet. If you use it you can store your present settings then let it optomize all your PC setting for supposely a faster connection. I think the most logical way of seeing it is, "Running Things Wide Open." I picked almost a MB on download. The Cable Co I'm with advertise 284KB up and 3MB down. I wasn't getting this until I used the program CableNut. Now I usually average 400KB and 3.8MB down. If you use it, be careful and select the proper OS as it lists more than one. Mudd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudd Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Sounds cool, worth looking at. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> For what it's worth, I just downloaded the update which is more complicated than the older version. I had a little trouble figuring it all out. Did a lot of reading on their help windows, selected what I thought was right and what a bummer! Lost about 2MBs. Tried other settings offered, some helped, some didn't. Disgusted I returned to the older version without the update and things really picked up. So I'm staying with the older one for now. If you try the update, be advised you must have the older version installed before downloading the update. When downloading the update, pay careful attention to the instructions.
