    same location, half the bandwidth. O.o


    "recommended server" closest location, still just over half. I don't think they're looking for an optimized line when they do their download/upload test.

    but back on topic, as far as optimization goes, if you don't have a job, you could always apply to be hsi tech, then fudge your settings from work :-P,
    aside from that truly optimizing if you're having latency issues anyhow, would mean calling up your provider and telling them that your signal is unsatisfactory and having them come to the tap near your place and turn up or boost the gain on the line for the modem, if it's separate from the cable input. which usually isn't the case. if it's a motorola modem you can check the signal through the IP on the modem, and check it online against recommended gain and frequency specs I'm pretty sure the ip is mostly the same via all modems, but there are always companies that want to do things differently. exceptions to the rule kinda thing. if you do want to check that you have to be really careful what buttons your clicking kuz it's easy to burn a modem messing with the settings on it. (if it gives you any options for settings anyway). if you're going to go that route you'll have to PM me, I don't want to be held responsable for ppl flying into their modem settings and going willy nilly on them :-P... I know that stupid IP by heart >.<

    lmao


    Upload speed is 1.70 kbps
    Download speed is 0.60 kbps
    So the hamster in your modem jots down individual bits on a piece of paper, folds it up into packets and carries it to the carrier pigeon at a nearby window with coordinates to the connections PC?

    He's a pioneering early adopter of the RFC1149 Avian Data Transfer method! Of course, it only makes sense that on each end the read/write is handled by highly trained hamsters.

    Either that or he's stuck in 1984 on a V.22 modem.
