I swear man, pleeeeeeease blow some more smoke up my ass about how my connection is within specs, or “modem is talking just fine”, etc. :bloated: Stats speak for themselves: I think I’m going to end up going with verizon dsl, too bad they don’t offer a “naked” connection yet… Seriously I think I laughed when the guy on the phone told me it was “fine”. Uhhhh what the fuck is “fine”? It’s a CABLE connection, not DIAL-UP!! Supernerds: What would cause this?

well yes they can change ur cap at any time, all it is, is a config file that gets sent to the modem when it restarts. that would really suck ass that they would cap u that much tho, i mean thats not even DSL speed. If they fuck with ur cap that often id def goto DSL, thats not right. It probably isnt that tho, are u running a router?, is ur NIC at a full 100mbit? lots of things it can be to slow ur speed down, it also could be network congestion, depending how many ppl they squeezed on your node. ---

yeah i’m using a dell wireless 2300 b/g router. i haven’t changed a thing about it since the original 70kbps reading. i get the same speed even if i cat5 to it. come to think of it, that’s probably why i can’t even get a shoutcast radio station to work on my xbox. :gay2: honestly if this uber-cool-tech ever fucking calls me back – and actually comes over to look at it, and nothing changes – he will be pulling this modem out of his ass… aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!! ---

try ditching the router first, just connect without it and see if that speeds it up, if it doesnt then the router is the issue. EDIT:did u try without the router? i cant tell if u did or not ---
