I am having a problem with my uploads...on both of my wired PC's (one has SP1 the other has SP2 I thought this may have been an issue so I uninstalled SP2 from one pc) before and after installing SP2 on both machines my upload speeds would test around

::::::::::.. Upload Stats ..::::::::::
Connection is: 188 Kbps about 0.2 Mbps (tested with 579 KB)
Upload Speed is: 23 kB/s
Tested From:: http://www.testmy.net/
Bottom Line: 3 times faster than 56K you can upload 1MB in 44.52 second(s)
Validation Link :: http://testmy.net/cgi-bin/get.cgi?Test_ID=P5GY91KBR

I am supposed to be on 1500/256 however on my laptop (wireless PCMCIA card) I get these speeds for my upload

::::::::::.. Upload Stats ..::::::::::
Connection is: 213 Kbps about 0.2 Mbps (tested with 579 KB)
Upload Speed is: 26 kB/s
Tested From:: http://www.testmy.net/
Bottom Line: 4 times faster than 56K you can upload 1MB in 39.38 second(s)
Validation Link :: http://testmy.net/cgi-bin/get.cgi?Test_ID=FIWSM9WA8

I test the same for the download speeds and I am curious as to why my wireless PC test faster than my wired for upload speeds...I am using a westell 6100 PPPoE connected to a Linksys 802.11b router...mabey someone knows something I don't...thanks for the help

on 256 ya, you seem to be missing about 10 kB/s upstream. Id call your ISP and have them check your signals, because on the user end their is next to nothing we can do with our upload, tweaking wise.

I just tried to use a bandwidth monitor (NetPerSec) and when I upload some files onto my site then I upload at around 215k or so...which is normal for my connection...any idea why my wired pc's test slower on the upload portion?

May be bad wiring. Any kind of bends or kinks in the wires, or even cheap wiring can cause loss.

hmmm I will get some more expensive cat  5 later and try that...but shouldn't that also affect my download speeds? As I found out it's not actually my speeds that are lower on my wired pc's it is just how testmy.net displays them with wired.

Your speeds might not reach the exact point that your ISP tells you.
My ISP (Sbc yahoo dsl) gave me a plan varing from 384 Kbps to 1500 Kbps down, and i usually get 1300 Mbps. But thats fine with me! Speeds can vary because of many reasons, so unless your running REALLY slow,i think you should be fine  ;)

I agree, it can also be a driver issue on the wired pc, i wouldnt worry about it much cos the diffrense is small.

try this guide  http://testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=605.0

also try another browser

good luck

I agree you are just about at your advertised speed, I know we all want our puters to get all the speed possible but it looks like you are there.If you have done and redone everything.....from checking for scum ware to defrag ....etc,etc ,then you have done all that is possible and sometimes we just don't have a great connection. My speeds just got higher due to normal maintenance, I had talked to my ISP before the maint and they tested and said everything was fine, although my speeds had always been higher in point of fact I was getting what I was paying for,plus a little.....but I sure am glad that routine maintenance made an improvement 4me....... good luck and whenever possible there are people willing to help with any problems Smile
