Please log in for more thread options yesterday, I've been stuck between 300k and 1.5mb download speed. All tests from Charter's office seem fine (according to them). It seems as if my speed degrades after having the computer on for awhile. Nothing has changed in my configuration; I use a Linksys wireless router to share the connection with 2 other machines in the house, and a Voicepulse VoIP phone hooked up. These have been in place for a long time with no loss of speed (until yesterday). Is it possible that the modem itself is defective? What could be causing such drastic changes in bandwidth so suddenly? Thanks -- ------------------------------------------- Chris Eilersen chris@eilersens.com | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Are you sure that's the relevant variable, or could it be the time of day? What happens if you reboot your computer? If you reboot (power cycle) the cable modem? | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options No - not absolutely sure that's the variable. Nothing different if I reboot
or recycle. It seemed a bit better when I left it off for awhile, but that's probably pure coincidence. It seemed to degrade again after running a few bandwidth tests. >

You mentioned a wireless connection. Any chance one of your neighbors has discovered your network and is helping herself to a chunk of your bandwidth? >>
