[egyptianmafia]

mines bogged down before, but i dont think that slow.....
what brand of modem?
(on motorola sometimes its as easy as unplugging the modem for about a minute, it lets the modem reset itself cause, from what rr told me it can pick up errors sometimes that affects performance)

All depends on what the other use can give you.

[fkdup74]

ok, i think i get it.....you mean on d/l's from kazaa? then wizz is right, we're all limited at times...

if ur downloading from a crappy source then u will be getting crappy speeds. if u constently getting crappy speeds it could be ur isp, u can check ur speed when ur connected by using something like DUmeter. In sygate firewall it shows me my speeds when im downloading etc which is pritty useful :)

if you have a motorola surfboard cable modem, you can reset it by opening internet explorer and typing in http://192.168.100.1/startupdata.html then you can see all the ins and outs of the modem and reset it from there if you need to :flowers: go under configuration and click restart modem

you can also go to speedguide.net and download or read about & apply some registry tweaks for your cable modem.
