389018	2005-09-18 05:26:00	um... what's dial up internet? :lol: it is the newest internet connection out it allows you to get connection speeds 5 times faster than adsl and is only $99 per month visit www.ripmeoff.com for more information... anyway i got rid of QOS and it defentaly had some change in the speed so thanks everyone	Mr_Rain313 (7944)

Every month when you receive an amount of money, part of your income will be subjected to tax. Link this idea to QoS bandwidth reservation. Even though the government might not the money, your income is still subjected to tax every month, which means your "spendable" money is still some percentage less than the amount you receive before tax. By removing tax (removing QoS bandwidth reservation), you get to spend more money (and therefore, you get to have more bandwidth usage). I guess my theory is right? Cheers :)	Renmoo (66)

389021	2005-09-18 20:02:00	Image this situation as income tax....snipped... I guess my theory is right? Cheers :) No I don't think that theory is right because QOS isn't like a tax. I think it's more like a bus lane that cars can use until there's a bus coming through. I suspect some of the problems may occur because people have more than just a browser using the connection. Try turning off the messaging etc. I use FF with Adblock. Pages load fairly quickly when you don't have to wait for several adservers to respond.	PaulD (232)

So I checked all I could and then got back to them and they relaced a network card in a box down the road at no cost to me and it doubled internet speed.

389025	2005-09-19 05:49:00	I have just followed the advice and removed Qos Packet schedular. I think there is a slight improvement so now its not incredibly slow just pathetic. Waiting to reply to one of the threads took nearly 5 minutes before I gave up. This reply took about 30 secs to come up - it used to be virtually instantaneous. Now I have noticed my dial up has got this slow ever since XTRA started their recent big advertising campaign for Broadband. Gosh I have a nasty suspicous mind. Tom	Thomas01 (317)

Tom If you can, try booting up a Linux LiveCD. If there is a significant speed difference between browsing using Linux and Windows, then is a software issue. If there is no significant speed difference, then it's either a hardware or line issue.	vinref (6194)
