dangerousfigure Posted July 5, 2004 Posted July 5, 2004 well first off how many computers are hooked up to it? do you have any wireless stuff on it? access points,routers, make sure they ae locked from out side users leeching bandwidth, in none of that then contact your cable provider and have them come run a line check, they may give you a line amp, make sure you arent using any cheap splitter or line amps if you have splitters hooked up make sure they are 5-1000mhz and have a -3.5db signal to noise line rating to them it will tell you on the top, unhook any cable amps also they arent good for data transfer, its fun to have worked at so many places ..i worked for timewarner for 2 years Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord_Pistachio Posted July 6, 2004 Posted July 6, 2004 Is that upstream or down? If its up, it would be pretty normal. I can't imagine it being that slow downstream. If that happened to me, the cable company would be getting a very angry call. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted July 6, 2004 Posted July 6, 2004 that would be down stream since it loaded a website/applet to test bandwith. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
