If you are on Windows XP use the cablenut file that I have attatched to this message. Restart, and post back with new results.

I have Adelphia, too, and am getting similar results however I'm on the normal tier (4mbit/384Kbps):

The crappy thing is I know 2 ppl who dont even have the premier service that are testing at 6mbit/850Kbps...how's that possible?  I mean there are less people on my block with cable than their blocks and yet between the three of us I have the least consistent, slowest connection?  Adelphia has been out to my house twice to test my line and they say nothing's wrong...i'm sure I've posted all this already so I won't go on.  One last comment: I know cable isnt guaranteed 90% of the speed all the time but the results above were taken from tests ran at 11am on a tuesday morning...

i would try a few other speed tests...go here and pick one close to you..

normally during the day  at testmy..my download and upload are off quite a bit.. i

also try using the large test file..

I'm in the same boat. Just added Adelphia Premier 6\768, eliminated the roiuter, jacked right into the modem, ran Van's tweaks for 6000\768 and still getting a slow download. The upload has improved, but I don't think the tweaks had anything to do with it, I think it is Adelphia's network.

Yeah, I did Van's tweeks, there is no router in this mix, I'm straight to the modem. I want to make sure this connection is working before I put a network on it. I got online chat help with Adelphia today. The first time we went thru all the typical 'when was the last time you???? Then I asked them if they had really provisioned me for the Premier. They then reprvisioned the modem. I tested and it was worse.

Got online with them again just 30 min. ago and got to tier 2. He had me go to testmy.net to get him a speed test, ran ipconfig and copied that info to him. Then he asked for dns and dhcp server names. Before I could respond, he cut me off because the chat exceeded a time limit...I suppose.

I've had it with these idiots. Where the hell am I going to get dns and dhcp server names with a cable modem connection. It isn't set up on the machine, nor is it in the modem. I don't know that it even applies.I think I'll just rip up their cable out of my yard tomorrow morning.
