I Need Help On Router Problems

[mikenmike0001]

hello, my stupid 2wire sbc yahoo dsl router is a btich for uploading and downloading torrents. I keep having like 8kb/sec for average speed when it should be 150kb/sec. I don't know much about computers, but i don't recall installing any "firewall" so yeah......i talked to people about this in another forum and some guy gave me this link

I guess the best place to start would be to identify your router.

Do you have a box that is between your modem and your PC? Give us a description of it. Any label, markings, numbers, etc.

sorry to jump on ur case here but...


even if u do open the ports, SBC has all BT ports blacklisted, and uploads are always slow on DSL anyways lol.

u ever bothered calling SBC cust. support?

[mikenmike0001]

no, i can never reach them, i keep on getting busy signals and automated voices when i try calling.


so what do you mean "blacklisted"? they block every fuckin port in existance? so you're saying there's a million other people facing my same problem and they too can't do anything about it?

i find it a little rediculous....i mean, it's safe from hackers and stuff i guess. but stil, as far as downloading, IT"S A PAIN IN THE ASS!!!.......4kb/sec...............8kb/sec.......12kb/sec...........damn it!! it SHOULD BE 150kb/SEC!!!
