It has a lot to do with your computer, eg the NIC.

Re: Free 2 to 10 upgrade
 

Hi,

It seems that the age of my computer may be one of the reasons for the fluctuating speed test results. I was slightly happier getting the 6.17 earlier.

The NIC that I installed myself was done a few years ago, but I spoke to VM tech dept and told them I had a 32bit PCI 10/100M Ethernet Adapter, and they said that it would cope with the 10meg upgrade speed.

One thing I wanted to ask is their any configuration I could possible change in the network folder for this adapter than may help with the speeds. just a thought.

Thanks.

I'm receiving 10Mb the same on an seven year old system (long, :O) than the system I built four months ago, I'm sure your NIC is fine.
I'm using a Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC (It's super old, works fine)

Can someone please explain why I get terrific results from http://numion.com/
and yet not so good from http://www.speedtest.net/

Speednet isn't that reliable, although this Numion site isn't exactly either.. xD

Download speed: 14,231.79 (1,778.97) 100%

Re: Free 2 to 10 upgrade
 

Well, still no luck this morning... I guess those 2.46 & 2.60 scores I had last night were just random bugs or something...


(I powered off the modem this morning, but no difference)

Re: Free 2 to 10 upgrade
 

Rather than keep hammering the network, may I suggest folks just look in their modem to see what speed is set:

http://root:root@192.168.100.1/P_operation.htm

Note that Internet Explorer may well baulk at the username and password in the link. For details about how to stop this happening see:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/834489

Alternatively, just log into the modem and manually enter 'root' for both the username and password. Look under 'Operation Configuration' for the speed settings:

I'm getting those random DL speeds again:

Re: Free 2 to 10 upgrade
 

I believe it would be http://root:root@192.168.100.1/CmOpConfig.asp

Re: Free 2 to 10 upgrade
 

iv never had very good speeds from speedtest.net
got one of my best results today on mybroadbandspeed.co.uk

[img]Download Failed (1)[/img]

still trying to work out which network setting gives best results

10/Half Duplex gives stable speed but can drop quite badly at busy times of day
Auto results in 100/dont know the duplex, that gives good general results and fast loading webpages
but can be a bit unstable and sometimes doesn't hit top speed

if anyones interested iv found the amount before throttle is 1750mb after 4pm in my area, 1gb better than the official limit :)

Re: Free 2 to 10 upgrade
 

Can I ask which speed you are meant to be on, 10 or 20meg?

Re: Free 2 to 10 upgrade
 

looking at the modem config page where does it say what the speed is set at?
i must be old because i can't find it lol
