go where?

If you mean the BT Wholesale speed test, i've tried it numerous times, but it always says:

Test Error.
The Performance Tester is currently unable to run a speed test for your broadband connection. Please try again shortly, however if this problem persists, raise the issue with your service provider.

Summut weird going on with my PC...

On both my Nexus 4 and 7 and the wife's Galaxy Ace over wi-fi we get somewhere about 50meg on the download!...

But on my main 'wired' (using TP-Link adaptors) PC, I get...


Unlimited Infinity Option 2

I even connected a crappy old Belkin 54G adaptor, to bypass the tp-link adaptors, and it didn't improve things any!..

Doing the BT speed tester it shows my line as 69meg down and 19meg up!!

Anyone know if there might be a nasty floating around my system throttling/slowing things down!?!?... I'm currently scanning with avast, and will be following up with Malwarebytes and Spybot today!!...

************edit***********

Okay... I dissabled the 'Asus AI Suite' on my motherboard (there's nothing I can't do in the BIOS that I want to do in the suite!)... Aaaaannnnd...



Go Figure!?!?!?!?

So i've gone from this from Virgin:

To this from BT Infinity:

Needless to say, im extremely glad I switched over.
 
I was using it between 10pm and 1:30am last night to watch the PS4 announcement. Then I went to bed.

Out of curiosity, I disabled to QoS I had setup on my router (when it was connected to the VM superhub) and got this result:
 
Weird spikes on the BT Infinity graph. Maybe they're caused by the TP-Link unless you have a regular scheduled task that uses bandwidth.
 
Yeah, I have JD Auto speedtester set to run every half hour, to monitor when speeds drop. Had it installed for when I was using Virgin, but I guess I can close it now

I was gunna say... most strange quality monitor I have ever seen :D
 
Finally ordered Infinity 2 now it's in our area and should get a 76mb connection supposedly, just gotta wait 3 weeks for the install now >.<
For you guys who get around that speed what are you usually getting mbps when downloading?
 
Loque said:
cool, thanks. Check that and got this result:

This is a 21CN line.
The current Downstream BRAS rate is: 77.43 Mbps
The current Upstream BRAS rate is: 20 Mbps

Looks like my sync speed is correct.

8-9 Mb dwn using newsgroups:)
 
Fastest speed I've seen sustained was something like 9245KByte/s (about 74Mbit/s). Downloads from a good source are mostly 8-9MByte/s tho a lot of places are more in the region of 1.2-2.5MByte/s as a lot of servers struggle to provide much faster to me.
 
Ok, so I've hooked up the Echolife 612 modem to my ASUS RT-N66U router using the WAN port of the asus to the "red" LAN1 port on the modem, and then taken a cable from the LAN port of the ASUS router in to a switch.

Question, why can't I log in to the modem? It's unlocked, but I'm wondering if LAN2 (the unused port on the modem) needs to be connected?

If so, would I connect this to the router or the switch?

So the LAN1 port is talking PPPoE to the router. It's not ethernet, the device has no IP address and is not a presence on the network.

You need to connect LAN2 to the router or the switch, then it should be accessible at 192.168.1.1 (make sure nothing else is using this IP).
 
I'm assuming that your subnet is 192.168.1.x, and that everything is on the same subnet, and that your HG612 is running the unlocked fw.

You can plug a computer directly into LAN2, assign the computer the address 192.168.1.2 (modem has no DHCP server) and access the web interface at 192.168.1.1 (admin/admin).

You can of course change this IP address to coordinate with your LAN subnet :)
