I joined simply to post my woes, i've tried searching the forum for answers and found out that I need to turn some things off with the super(?)hub. Speedtest.net and Pingtest.net both report A*, everything ok.
Now, on my old router/modem config I downloaded at 1.17meg/s consistently. Never a dropped packet or anything. This is, to my understanding, max for 10mb. Now I upgrade, get a super(lol)hub installed and I fluctuate from 300k/s to 2meg/s.
So, the question begs; why? Everything was fine before the modem/router change. I was pretty sure I would at least get a solid download rate, yet it fluctuates massively. I've tried different ports/settings/newsgroup readers... all to no avail.
I guess I still have 28 days to revert back, right?
