Slower DSL download speed with router

Alan Illeman · 2006-12-09T19:42:01+00:00

Win2K Pro SP.4, single user, SpeedTouch modem, PPPoE,Dlink Dl-604 router. I used to use a Kerio firewall butfollowing a crash In October, the guy who repaired it,installed a Dlink router in place of the firewall. I have asubscription to Grisoft's AVG7.5 and there's been no problems.I used to get 170 KB/s download (3 MB service but long wayfrom CO) but now it's only about 35 KB/s, about only a fifthof what it used to be. I've tested it by downloading files thatI've previously downloaded, at different times of day.I have a call into my repair guy and will probably speak tohim this coming week, but wonder if you have any helpfulcomments?tiaAlan

So you can read - he didn't have a problem with the router, it was signal quality on the ISP device. Come on, admit that in this case you were 100% wrong and we might change our opinion on what a looser you are.

If you want a really good laugh, take a look at the thread he created on sympatico.highspeed. Four different nyms of his all saying he's right. Truly amazing...

"Alan illeman Junior" is not me, nor related to me!! Admittedly I have some line problems and am not getting anything like the advertised 3 MB/s but 180 KB/s is fine for now. When I take the modem out, the speed is still 180 KB/s.

typo! Should have said "When I take the router out, the speed is still 180 KB/s."

Tony,

Because that disturbes the readers.

Yours, VB.
