Bandwidth Problem?

[dwightfry]

I've been working on tweaking my DSL connection, and I noticed my upload speed (about 650 kbps) was twice as fast as my download speed (about 360 kbps). Is that normal? How do I fix it?

[4play]

yes normaly down is faster then up.
;)

I am befuddled, is this a question for hardware-world? :huh: :D

[pol]

before you get bounced over there (i cant be arsed) goto control panel, network connections, double click your conn type click support then fix, or something like that :)

[dwightfry]

I am now getting:

Download - 370 kbps
Upload - 670 kbps

Basically unchanged.

[pol]

what, after you did the support thingamyjiggy ?

why shouldn't I try to fix it? This isn't normal.

[pol]

you could check the server status at your isp, no?


what kinda "tweaks" was it
and did it happen straight after :D

[dwightfry]

This has been happening since I got the connection, I am just now trying to fix it.

[pol]

just for the hell of it, did ya reboot after the support thingamyjiggy :D

[dwightfry]

yeah....I'll do it again though.

I highly recommend this site:
http://www.dslreports.com/tweaks

Also download their utility DrTCP then you can adjust your receive window

[cosmic doobie]

check your speeds here:
http://adslguide.org.uk/tools/speedtest.asp

[dwightfry]

Still didn't work.


download - 374 kbps
upload - 773 kbps

I'll check out that site now

[dwightfry]

The site gave me:

DL - 368
UL - 367

That sounds right. THANKS :D

[pol]
