new 60mb slower than old 20mb!

I recently moved to 60mb from 20mb when I got a TiVo box. I know my TiVo box is plugged into my router but I am not getting even the speed I did with 20mb. Any ideas? Is it my power levels?

Re: new 60mb slower than old 20mb!

downstream power levels suck. have you got an attenuator fitted to your cable wire splitter or SH itself ?

Re: new 60mb slower than old 20mb!

remove one of the 10dB forward path attenuators.

Re: new 60mb slower than old 20mb!

What should the power levels be? Any ideas why the levels have gone rubbish since I had TiVo installed?

I asked the engineer to check the levels as we have had problems in the past and he said they were ok!

Re: new 60mb slower than old 20mb!

www​.speedtester.bt.com

SNRs good. you are testing via wired ethernet right?

set up a ping monitor, it may be network utilization, high usage.

you could try this > www.speedguide.net/files/TCPOptimizer.exe < move the marker up top all the way too 100+ then above apply changes at the bottom click on optimal then tick the modify all network adapters box then apply changes > restart > open IE and test speedtest.net

Re: new 60mb slower than old 20mb!

I am using a wired connection as this will be more reliable.

It is better after the attenuator removal, getting aroun 30mbps now, but that is half what it should be. Maybe I need someone to come out, I had to before because the signals were all over the shop!
