I had a long-standing upload speed problem on the 30mbps service. Typically I got 0.2mbps on all 4 machines wired to the SH (instead of the promised 3mbps).

An attenuator on the input seemed to help, but it soon dropped back.

A replacement SH arrived and it brought 3 of the 4 machines to full 3mbps upload speed.

BUT the fourth machine, almost the exact spec as the other 3, and on about the same cable length in the home, refuses to get above 0.2mbps. Cable changes, changing ports on the SH have no effect at all, so I think it must be a Vista problem or a screwy network card.

I googled for answers and found that Vista UL speed problems are rife, but none of the procedures to fix this have helped (including several TCP/IP "optimistaion" programs.
