DSL inept on my part?
So, we move, get dsl, all set right?
Well, yes and no.. LOL Actually I am finding that nearly ALL sponsors, and most site I review seem to have 25k per sec download limit. (like for content and movie content downloads) Is this on my end? or are the sponsor boxes set up to limit BW to 25K per IP? It's not that I can't live with that speed just curious if it can go faster. Back ups using DAP are always in the 200-300K range.

Then to confound this question, you say you are getting 200-300 in another scenario (although i admit i dont know what youre talking about, backups using DAP - maybe im retarded) dsl is generally faster on dload speed than upload speed, and ive seen dsl connections that werent much better than dialup due to crappy phone lines or distance from whatever the thingamajig is (router?) ... i would ask the sponsors if their dloads are throttled just to know, and then do a speed test, and then if necessary call the dsl provider and tell them they need to tweak some stuff. Sometimes they will run seperate new phone wire from your phone box to the pc if your house wires are causing lag. but you have to rule out the throttling and do a speed test before that. sorry if you already knew all this... |

Sounds like your MTU size is set wrong. On windows I believe it is setup for dialup not broadband. Being that I don't really use Windows I can't be more help, but here is a Google page on it.

I had DSL for about a week. I was just comparing it to my Cable Modem and was very dissatisfied with the performance.
So, I just upgraded my cable modem and am now running at about 6 megabits/second  |

Hmmm - ok, dsl reports test shows speed at about 200k.
DAP = Download Accelerator Plus
