I am normally connected between 36,000 and 40,000 bps, but the last few days is has been 115,200 WOW what are you guys connected to? and why has this gone up so high?

 

------------------

the reason it is doing that is cos its reporting your serial posrt data speed not ur line speed, 115,200 is impossible 57,600 is also impossible. V90 normally connects at around 42.3-45.2

It's the two small screens on the toolbar just held me mouse on it and that reading came up.But it does seem to be much faster than norm.

 

------------------

Coz winDoze couldn't report a connection speed if Billbo Gates' life depended on it LOL

Try NetMedic from somewhere like download.com, it'll tell you true connection speeds.

I'll get me anorak

My fave is NetStat Live from some obscure programmer chappie who runs a web site called Analog-X. Someone who believes in free s/w

 

Get it here :- http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/network/nsl.htm

I used to get that.

The fastest I have seen a modem go is 52,000 and I was very very suprised to see it.

Have you updated your firmware of your modem, cos V92 is being used now and is better than V90

Yes Stuart,the modem is ITU-T V.92 56,000bps. Is what it says on the box .

 

------------------

Pah Stu, you saw my old modem at 53,666 and 54,333.

I could get mine to say 115,000odd, but the downloads were no faster.

 

BTW, i am currently connected at 546,000 http://bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/index.html

For an idea, my old modem d/l speed was around 5.6 - 5.8 k steady.
