Helloooo I'm using Half Mb DSL Broadband with British Telecom Upgrade to 1Mb line test failed. No cable in this area. I'm really not happy with the speed I'm receiving. I've been told that I'm fortunate to have broadband 'cause I'm on the very edge of the broadband area/receiving limit. Sitting right on the fence was the engineer's expression. (lol) Anyway, can anyone recommend a good internet optimizer that actually works with DSL Broadband? Thanks in advance kaperski.
If i were you i wouldn't use internet optimizers because those things are really BULL SH*T to tell u the truth. What i would do is cancel the "DSL" service and get CABLE internet because i guarantee you that it will blow away dsl. Cable internet has a much wider signal limit and usually costs less than dsl (this is only if you already have cable television).
If you are at the edge there is not much you can do about it. That's the nature of DSL, the farther from the Central Office the slower your speed. Internet optimizers will not help you much, mostly they will just change your TCP/IP window size so that you only acknowledge every x amount of packets instead of every packet. You can't uncap a DSL line like a cable modem, the speed setting is coded into the line card at the DSLAM, not in the modem itself like cable.
Hi there, Shad, no cable in our area Grrrr. Xian, yes I'm begining to realize there's not much I can do but accept the situation. There's a village nearby and I've been told (again by the engineer) there's no hope of them having broadband. At least I do have broadband, so I'm lucky. Thx for the replies guys.
Have you tried http://www.speedguide.net ? You can pretty much find any type of broadband info here as well as registry patches etc.. I currently have a 3megdown/128kup cable connection and the patch still enabled me to pickup an extra 250k d/l speed! I've been using their site for the past couple of years and have yet to have any problems.
I found a internet booster that works pretty good--)Zilla Connection Accelerator,go to Download.com,its free
