Blummin Hotmail, I sent this last week!  The advice still stands though :-)

Hi all,

 

If anyone is interested in experimenting with improving their xDSL/ISDN/Cable Modem throughput, I highly recommend a vist to http://www.dslreports.com/tweaks a very thorough site with sound advice, the information provided by the tweak tester is thorough, must better than those random "guaranteed improve your modem speed" hacky downloads that tend to hose your machine.

 

Sadly my 150Kbps wireless DSL connection didn't improve much, but hey, it is 150Kbps.

Hi Phil,

 

That was exactly my experience wth the analogue modem.

 

Before HH - Voice Line 33k6 max, Internet Line 41k3 max usually 40k

After HH - 50K

 

I didnt waste any time getting a Speedway ISDN Card though.

Well, the BT guy called this morning dead on time at 8 AM having called 15minutes earlier on his way to make sure that I was in/up (kudos to the guy for that).

 

I think it was the easiest install he'd had to do ... given that the previous occupants had had HH before we'd moved in then the phone point was right where it was most convenient, there was still the power point right by it too. He even hooked the box up onto the original two screws that the previous one had been hanging from!

 

Anyway ... it's encouraging ... I'm connecting in less time and getting connection speeds of 45.6kbits with transfer rates of about 4kbytes/sec - AND THAT'S ON MY ANALOGUE MODEM! Dang ... I've complained about the crap line quality that we have many times before and there's always (supposedly) been nothing that they could do. It seems I could get an immediate hike in analogue modem speed by upgrading to HH! *grin* Anyway ... will try out my ISDN TA this afternoon/evening and see what we can get on that!

 

Cheers Guys.

 

Phil
