Cable = SLOW

[SFF900]

I have a cable modem internet connection, I got some network cards and a router and installed them so the other household computer could use the same internet access, I expected it to slow me down a little bit but I used to have transfer rates on avg of 50kb/s sometimes more and now just with two computers through the router I am lucky if I get 8-10 kb/s ? What the hell is up with that did i set something up wrong?

is it this slow all the time?and on just one comp or both?

my cable sucks too, it's been slow as hell lately. And often, it signs me off AIM and takes forever to load up internet websites. My friends have similar problems as far as signing off goes, so it might be your cable provider.

well jus remember its better than dsl, dsl for me freezes way more than cable. But dsl i can usually download to 120kb

Sometimes my cable is super slow, but it is only like that very rarely and only a few hours at a time...it's been pretty reliable though, haven't had any major problems.

man you all have shitty cable providers. When i lived at home we had 4 comps on one cable modem and the average download speed was still 250kb.

it also depends on your local provider.

just unzip the file..then
To install the patch, simply double-click the sguide_tweak_2k.reg file, and the changes will be added to your Registry automatically.

It is always a good idea to backup your Registry before making changes.

If you'd like to revert the changes that this patch makes to the Registry, you can

I don't recommend the speedguide tweaks. A lot of others don't recommend it either. Best way is to d/l cablenut, d/l the add-on, and apply those settings.

Also, set your NIC to 10Mbps Half Duplex. Most cable modems link at that setting.
