Make sure you have the correct drivers for whichever you are using. ie: drivers for the internet network card ie: drivers for your USB in your PC Buffalo PS: What does Telstra say they think the problem is?

You can look at your Motorola cable's signal using http://192.168.100.1 .... and then selecting Signal and reading the S/N ratio and Downstream power level and Upstream power in the Upstream section. -- Mike Easter

The OP was only getting 20Kbps not 20Mbps. How is going to a better cable going to help? Even a low grade Network Interface Card will give up to 10Mbps. Buffalo

Uhm. 20 kb/s (kilo_bits_/sec) are really low, even for assymetrical connections like a cabletv. If you are not mixing up kilobits with kiloBytes (kB/s), it's worse than a plain old P.O.T.S modem. While 20 kilo_Bytes_ still isn't rocketspeed, but 8times as fast as you said. Remember, you are talking about _upload_ speeds. A assymetrical connection like cable or dsl is known for huge speed differences up/downlink. What is the download speed you get? |
