Yes, I did power off my modem and computer too. These are connected to surge protector, I did power off an don on surge protector itself, still some times even get a reply from yahoo or google, takes some time, I am wondering this is cable modem issue.
Friend of mine was suggesting to change to DSL, he says cable had lot of bandwith problems, if everybody in the neighbour hood turn on, it slows down, sometimes it is like dial-up line. I am not sure about this?. Does anybody have any idea?.
You guys suggest me to switch to DSL?. I don't know how reliable it is?. Let me know. I also heard that if the loop length is longer in DSL, again the data rate falls down.
Suggest me, I am looking for some tool which measures the bandwith of my line. Appreciated.
