Just call Comcast, they'll send their crack team of morons out to your house, tell them you get slow internet speeds and tell them that your TV is fuzzy..... Then a week later you have an amplifier! No charge
well, i'll look into it. i did just recently get Comcast Digital Cable, so that might have something to do with my slow speeds... i've been reading that the TV and other computers can really slow down your connection. if they charge me tho i'm gonna kill 'em. hold the guy hostage or somethin'.
The TVs and comps shouldn't be slowing you down unless all the comps are downloading something. I have 6 PCs, my voip line and digital cable box all connected. Your router is also a potential bottleneck. Try running straight to your PC from the modem and see what you get before you get Comcast involved cause they're gonna try blaming it on your router. If you've got the direct connect data to show the router's not the bottleneck, it will make your life much easier. Also, remember Cable is a shared connection and if you live on a block with a bunch of heavy users, it will affect your speeds as well.
Q: Why am I seeing so much packet loss in my provider's network? (#14068)
A: If you are also seeing packet loss from these points all the way to the final hop of your test, that points to a problem on the device first showing packet loss, or on the inbound connection to that device.
However, if you are not seeing packet loss all the way to the final hop, this apparent packet loss may not be an issue.
Some providers are rate limiting how often they respond with the TTL-exceeded ICMP packets used by traceroute and similar tools like the Packet Loss Test. This is done to prevent attacks against these routers, since responding to these packets requires much more CPU time than simply forwarding the packet does. If the router is set up to ratelimit, it will respond to a certain number of traceroute packets per second, and once that many have been received, it will stop responding to them for that second, which will appears as packet loss. You are not losing any "real" traffic, assuming the final hop of your traceroute isn't showing any loss.
well, the guy came out and told my bro that we acutally get MORE than we should. no amplifier needed. i did another test... we get like .93 megs average per second. i still think i should get that amplifier. what do u guys think?
I want an amplifier! Can you buy them or do you just have to trick the tech team o' morons? And check out the top 5 countries on the Speedtest....Japan I get but...I mean....wow. Latvia?
