so, i has a small problem.

well, a few small problems.

1. my connection speed is as low as 1mpbs. (using a belkin 54g, a few hours ago it wouldnt connect, period, stuffed if i know how i managed to connect).

2. most of my usual sites load, with the exception of the r31skylineclub... and i know that isnt down.

so, any suggestions and such?

A few things to try off the top of my head...

Power off/on the modem

-If sync/speed is still bad disconnect every phone in the house from the phone line and power off/on the modem again and check sync speed.

--If it improves you know you have a dead line filter (not common but does happen). Isolate the dead line filter by connecting a single phone at a time and calling it with your mobile while watching for sync/speed drops and transfer interuptions.

Are you on ADSL2?

-Change your line profile to a 'reliable' profile to improve stability as they ncorporate interleaving which as a result increases ping so not so good for online gaming but its better than having poor stability.

Changing the line profile to reliable profile works well on those wet days where water gets in to the lines causing a little cross talk that results in poor stability/reduced sync speeds. I've had to do this almost every winter Then wait for telstra to get out and fix the lines. In the last recent downpoor the phone line dropped out completely, unable to receive or make calls (no dial tone with lots of crackling and static) I called internode had them throw me on the very high reliability line profile and I connected at just under 1mbps. It took 3 days for telstra to sort out the problem. :S

and ....... Call your ISP.

[scandyflick]

well, unplugged all the phones and such, the connections a little better, but its still slow (>12mbps) and its still fairly unstable, but its better than it was 10 minutes ago, ill call belkin and internode tomorrow and see whats up.

i doubt its internode though, looks more like the routers f**ked, had so many problems with it...

[Cubes]

Linksys, Billion & cisco (out of reach) modems for me. I prefer billion modems.

Always have a quick look at

http://cgi.internode.on.net/advisories/list.html?area=1

to notify of any issues.

Most likely the telstra line that runs from the internodes hardware in the exchange to your modem/router.

In the meanwhile if transfers web browsing and transfers are unstable throw yourself on a more reliable line profile (done via internodes web site and monitor when the modem resync's on its new more stable line profile)

You should be fine with the high reliable profile, very high profile may be a little overkill.

Failing that do the usual virus scan & spyware/malware scan.

spyware/malware - lavasoft adware, spybot and the VERY usefull prevx1.

If your familiar with services that are supposed to be running hijackthis is also a handy tool to use. I tend to use all three on problem computers.

[Bl4cK32]

billion ftw

[Fishpaste~]

hrmmm.. billion and linksys have been hiddious for us recently, sooooo many warranties (even my own personal linksys is making the hiss of death)

so far netgear seems solid

...so far netgear seems solid...

I've had good experiences with netgear stuff too.

While I haven't used a WIDE range of stuff, the products I've used have always perfomed as I'd expect them to, with no issues.

That's all I really ask for in hardware, and for the price I'd recommend them.

This is usually the part where 5000 people chime in with "XYZ is so much better", and while they may be, until I find a product doesn't do something I need, it doesn't need changing.
