internet speeds

i have a question for anyone tech minded, my interenet speed is only half it should be, my isp says they are throwing the right speed to me ,the telephone people are say the line is adsl enabled upto over the speed im supposed to be getting, if you know what i mean,it not my firewall for sure because i unninstalled it i have tried everything i know its still the same,any suggestions welcome
be good :sniper:

dsl sucks, ive never seen anyone using it get their advertised speed in over 5 years

Look for anything that downloads, and ur DSL Box,whats the name and build year,it could be broken. And check for viruses and @ Fuzion, my DSL could max get 2mb and we have a 2mb contract but we get 3mb

well ..you never gets what you pay for in internet business....

its like this
\the ppl who own the sattelite sell maybe 1000mb to a company (ISP) andthen that comapany sells what u want with a hefty price on it ..so say now you buy 1mb "connection" well officially u suposed to get 1mb download but now to see these blasted isp take "what you pay for..the 1mb" and share it with or 10 ppl.. but you still pay the hefty price so that means you never gett your 100% download rate...same as this.. if your downloading something and its going say... rufly 250kb and u start another download so that 250 will drop to 180kb and so on and so on....

glad to be assistance

Nice long post butzie ,I read it from the top to bottom,but ur DSL Box can be broken and this Tip is much smaller so better

its a dg834g netgear wireless i have just formatted it around 2 years old how u get three when only 2 contract ?lol

The internet (undersea cables)

I'm fairly sure that all dsl speed is affected by your distance to the trunk line.
I live in a fairly rural area, and the guys outside of town get shit speed compared to the guys next door to the mysterious white building where all the cables converge.

Not to be a noodge, but if the 10 fags stream video and download legal software...will it then not lag?

And just so I can be safe, which file sharing programs are illegal? I use utorrent, but I didn't know that was illegal, as well as my Mirc, and Filezilla. Come to think of it...I have even downloaded with Outlook Express on the newsgroups and Internet Explorer from some sites!

Other than that... I agree, with more and more people logging on/constantly connected...the old models of 'leasing' more bandwith than you have is getting stretched. Either more bandwidth is needed (greater cost), or greater control on traffic is needed (which will be imperfect, subject to corporate whims, and then open ISP's to legal troubles).

Should be interesting where it leads.

(begin zero punctuation, bad grammar, and an overall lack of capitalization) do not try to learn english based on this post:

as you can see by the pic i posted, cable capacity is higher than purchased/allocated capacity, which in turn is higher than actual used capacity

isp's throttle because they are greedy, they expect the average customer to pay $50+ to just surf the web and email shit. they want you to use it like dialup and pay for more but not use it to its full capability
here is how it goes, the isp buys a few terabytes per month to cover their entire regions usage assuming they are going to use it. they don't buy based on the regions possible usage, hypothetically, all of their customers downloading and uploading at max rate 24/7 for a month may use a few hundred terabytes, but they don't account for that because it doesnt happen
they work out an average usage per customer and purchase bandwidth based on that, and when customers (or entire regions) go over budget, they throttle them

thats the unlimited bandwidth method, other (shitty) isp's use the webhost method and base your $50 on a certain amount of bandwidth, say 300GB per day, and make you pay more if you go over. even then, they reserve the right to terminate you service if you consistently meet or exceed you max, because they pay more for the bandwidth overall than you do.
it wouldnt matter if all the customers went over, because the price for going over would then meet what they pay on their end

its all about minimums and profit
provide the least amount of service, spending less than your competitors, and gain maximum profits

there may be other isp's that don't follow this method, but they either go broke or get bought by the bigger guys

I am using qwest. The way it works for us is that the closer you are to the main line,the faster your internet is. I am assume that is how all the internet works.

I am probably just setting myself up to get bitched out

Which was my point, ass

My cable company has a monopoly here...
Even when I lived in Tulsa, we still only had one choice.

there is either Cocks Cable at a decent speed or some other SLOW ass dsl.. thats also why i switched to Cox, it satisfies me more..

I have Cox, its good. its actually getting faster than a year or two ago. But people who abuse bandwidth on the Cox network are known as "Cox Huckers". I dl some shit, but im not excessive about it by any means. I do my homework and get what I really want, not get it all and keep what I want.

theres been a few times ive gone over my limit... only by like a gig or 2.. the most memorable time is when i when 2 and a half times over the limit.. good service tho, besides an occasional throttle which might be due to outings or what have ya

Does anyone else like Cox? I'll have someone make "I <3 Cox" bumper stickers for those who want em

i bet you do

Limit? Ive never heard of that. Have had Cox for years. But I live in a huge midwest data traffic zone, and dont leach till the cows come home either. My bud got temp kicked off once for d/l Mission Impossible 3, and left it seeding for days, haah. I dont get trouble for the same reason I dont have viruses or virus protection. I think first.
