CABLE/DSL Internet issues..
Hi!
My cable internet service provider has a stupid @ss upload limit set @ 15k/s.. Do you know, how I could maybe boost the upload speed? Hardware or software.. Thanks, JP

Call them and tell them to shove that modem up their asses. there is no way to boost the upload speed.

that's becauise they don't want people setting up servers, and killing bandwidth. My DSL line is like 12KBS but uploading works up to 33KBS for some reason

Actually it will cost me.. I have a 2 year contract.. 1.5 years left.. Plus these are the only guys that offer cable in my area. I dont want DSL, cause the download speed is gay. The fact remains, that downloading is more important than uploading.

When downloading from a good fast FTP, I usually hang in the 500's.. (Using DOS FTP, for more accurate numbers..) When downloading from a website thats on a superfast server, and use JetCar to split the download.. I hang in the upper 600's.. So the total download bandwidth is probably a little greater than that.

hey man, for my cable (road runner) they have 2 dfferent networks, a week ago i got a new motorola cable modem (surfboard) the last one can't remember what type of motorola modem or network, but now that i'm on the doxxis network using this cable modem i get 2mb up 368kb up so i get about 400kb/sec download and upload fastest at 50kb/sec
see if they have other networks available. your node is probably packed full |
