| 228652 | 2004-04-11 09:40:00 | I've been with Jetstream now (home full speed) for about 6 months...And have noticed recently a sharp and shocking decline in my d/load speeds. Spoke to jetstream and they told me to try their speed test at jetstreamgames.co.nz 2 weeks ago I tried this and was getting speeds around the 150 kbytes/sec, which was a little slow, as when I first used jetstream it was lightening speed! Just tried it again now and am getting speeds approaching 6.7 k/bytes/sec, which gives me pause to SCREAM!!!!!!!. This is on the download from the automatic http link. Interestingly the ftp xfer rate is about the same, but the MANUAL http download is back to 520kbytes/sec (9 meg downloaded in 8 secs!) What is going on? I use mozilla 1.6 and if really pushed ie6. I've recently trashed my discs and reinstalled windows XP pro sp1. I've mucked about with my router (pragmatic knockoff), rebooted it, reentered all the guff (don't ask me what MAC spoofing is tho) makes no difference. Any ideas??? help would be appreciated... |

| 228654 | 2004-04-11 22:34:00 | www.nzdsl.co.nz This appears to be a link to the same test as jetstream. (As the 500k file test link was still in my cahce) I'm just reposting ... I think the clue is that the manual http download is still fullspeed, but the automatic and ftp are real slow.. any help greatly appreciated... |

| 228655 | 2004-04-11 22:38:00 | That may mean that the ports are either limited or blocked (they could reroute funnily). Maybe your ISP decided a speed limit was in orde? | Growly (6) | ||
| 228656 | 2004-04-11 22:58:00 | What are your pc specs? It says if you have a slow one yuo should try ftp... | Growly (6) | ||
| 228657 | 2004-04-11 23:05:00 | idon't have jetstream so excuse the blondeness... what speed does "home full speed" run at? what speeds where you getting before? have you installed all the same drivers as before ? |

| 228658 | 2004-04-11 23:15:00 | Thanks for replies PC is p4 2.8g plenty of hd 2 ethernet cards, (one on board one installed cos linux did not recognise my on board) . my isp is (xtra!) why would they slow down some ports???? does auto http use a different port from manual http? I know that ftp does.. could this explain it?? full speed used to be around 350kB / sec or sometimes more...and no, I've not re installed linux since my re format windows reinstall.. perhaps I could spend the day doing that and then trying linux but.... | fryup666 (5239) | ||
| 228659 | 2004-04-11 23:16:00 | Oh and as far as i'm aware, I've reinstalled all the drivers.. | fryup666 (5239) | ||
| 228660 | 2004-04-11 23:37:00 | criky i even had to check out telecoms site for the info....:( full speed home plan is 2Mb/s so there is NO way you will ever get 520kbytes/sec download speed unless there speed limiting is not working. 2Mb/s should be max speed of 200kB/s (or without overheads 250kB/s) not including compression. a 520kB/s download speed is 10Mb lan speed! do some accurate testing with compressed files and if doing online speed testing delete your internet cache before hand. not much point speed testing if your browser downloads the file out of your cache instead of the site. |

| 228661 | 2004-04-11 23:46:00 | I've just restarted the computer in safe mode, and I'm back up to full speed? What does this mean??? Have I got to do some serious work under the hood of windows AGAIN???? what an OS!!!] And yes, jetstream will give speeds of 500kB/sec.. how else could I have downloaded a 9 MEG file in about 12 secs??? This is why when it's working, jetstream is so good! What now?? any ideas most appreciated |
