45424 2002-04-24 11:04:00 Hi,

I have Paradise cable 128k,

My problem is that all of a sudden my download speed has gone from around 12Kp/sec to 5, I have checked with paradise's helpdesk with no luck & apparently my lines are fine too,
What happens is the download starts real fast then drops right off.

I at a dead end, short of doing a complete restore I don't know what to do next.

Cheers
Owen

before restoring try removeing tcp/ip, reboot then reinstall tcp/ip.

45426 2002-04-24 11:57:00 I have been with main and larger ISPs within New Zealand, and I find Paradise to be the best in all way including helpdesk help, and speed.

However I am just with the dial up plan - but I have never been able to fault the Paradise Helpdesk, it comes to me as a bit of a shock they did not assist you further.

45428 2002-04-25 09:41:00 Hi again,

My OS is Win 98,
I tryed removing/reinstaling ICP/etc with no luck,
I also tried paradise again,
we tried various things still the same, which only leaves me with my MTU settings, problem is, that's beyond my competence.

I know what they are, I know where they are, but damned if I know what to do with them,

Can anyone shed some light here,
MTU settings for dummies book perhaps,

Cheers
Owen
