<title>See this video please...</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23387385</link>
<description><![CDATA[I took a miniDV video of my screen while runing the speedtest.   Please take a look at it and let me know if you guys are having anything simillar happen. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdRq8ItKJTI   

I have the 20/2 but it only registers at that speed from a 0 ping server.    That's ok.   The problem is,  if i test a server right next to the 0 ping server,  i mean like RIGHT next to it and outward,  the speed drops down to 5-7 sometimes as little as 2Mbps.   When i had the 10/1 deal,  at least i was getting pretty close to 10/1 accross the USA.   It never dropped to these levels.   

In the video i test the nearest server 1st and get great speed.   Then i pick a couple next to it...  well you'll see in the video.   It's only 3min(33MB).

Would any of you, after seeing these test results in the video suggest that i have a "contractor" or "in-house/home" person come out and take a look.

Thanks ppl!!  Really appreciate it!

***I just bought a brand new modem for the hell of it SB5101 AND i have several computers in my home all registering the same speed results.   The upload, as you will see is good and constant 95 persent of the time.  It's ONLY the download speed that is bad.  Anyone ever hear of this situation?]]></description>

<title>[HSI] I got Ultra60!! Now I need a new router</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23370407</link>
<description><![CDATA[If the lady at the local office was right, I'm getting what I think is a GREAT price on the Ultra60.    Two year contract (which requires you stay with a minimum 5meg @ 29.99, I'm not locked into ultra60 for that long), but she said the base price was $29.99 for the basic 5meg and then the upgrade to ultra60 was $54.95 a month.  It makes my monthly rate for standalone 60meg  internet around $85.00, + $5 for the modem rental fee.   I will probably decide to buy my own modem when I get some money. 

ANYWAY....when I got the modem home and did the self install modem swap online (first time I've gotten that to work without calling in, kudos charter!) I did some testing, and found couldn't get anything better than around 40mbps download speed via usenet.   I was thinking that was kind of a bummer, only 2/3 of the advertised speed.    

Then I had an "ah-ha!" moment and hooked the modem directly to my computer, and BAM suddenly I was topping out at 7.8MB/s on usenet, which is around 62.4mb/s.....

Switching back and forth between the router and the modem is showing that my router is clearly a bottleneck in my network now. 

I had a Netgear WNR834B Wireless "N" router, but now I need to upgrade.  

Any ideas on a router with uber-fast routing and throughput capabilities, that won't break my bank? 

So far people have recommended
Linksys WRT610N (which started me eyeballing the WRT310N as well) 
D-Link DIR-655

Anybody have suggestions of their own for a good gigabit N router?  ]]></description>

<title>Charter Bundle Questions</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23393510</link>
<description><![CDATA[Since FiOS has been delayed time and again to my neighborhood, and DSLExtreme can't offer me anything faster than 3Mbps service, I'm considering cable internet, which I've never had. Charter's the provider in my area.

My first question: Is it good? How's the TV service (we have DirecTV in HD currently)? Is Charter internet fast and reliable? How's the phone service?

My second question: How much does it cost? I can find all the 12 month prices, but it says after the first year it reverts to "standard prices." How much will my bill go up after 12 months?

Thanks.]]></description>

<title>[CATV] Anyone else ever seen audio synch issues on analog?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23368062</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have a repeating issue on one of my analog basic channels, and was wondering if anyone else has seen it and knows what would cause it. 

On Channel 9 of my analog basic tier (no DVR or box involved, this is straight from the wall into my Sony CRT), I get audio synch issues almost every evening, especially after nine o' clock. It's off by about a half-second to a second. If you've never seen this, let me tell you, it's VERY annoying. 

Here's some troubleshooting I've done -- I have checked the OTA HD feed from the channel on another TV, and it is fine. Also, let me again mention that this is the ONLY channel on the tier that exhibits this problem. Of course, it's usually OK by the morning, and will then reappear later on at night. 

I've posted in the direct forum about this, and big surprise, they want to roll a truck. Apparently I have magic coax that only delays audio on one channel. 

Anyhow, any ideas? 

EDIT: And in the time it took me to type and post this, the issue has resolved itself, magically. This is driving me crazy.]]></description>
