I am getting such slow internet speeds on 8mbs connection xp was fine.
Vista only gives me 1mbs of bandwidth - something is wrong - any ideas?
its a decent spec pc and this is such a let down of vista
DLINK Router connected via cable
have tried:
1 - disabling all the windows protection crap
2 - setting autolevel to disable
3 - different network cards
but more importantly, where are you and what service do you have that gives
8MB connections?
we're talking megaBYTES, and not megaBITS, right?
It actually may have made things worse, but one
couldnt tell as it is SOOO bad as it is.
I stand by the decision that Dell and Microsoft are complicit in their
thievery.
If you feel you are not getting the help you are entitled to here, you can
feel free to contact Microsoft's other support options, which will probably
want you to pay but at least you can be assured there that the person you're
talking to will actually put up with you and be as sycophantic as you need
them to be.
Well repeating "8MBS" over and over and criticising people who are trying to
find out about your system instead of trying to provide answers or at least
asking why their questions are important isn't helping things. Pipex offer
an "Up to 8 Mbit" service, so I'm going to assume that is what you have.
Moving on, how are you determining that your connection speed is slower than
normal. I'm guessing it obviously 'feels' that way, but how have you
actually measured it? How are you comparing it to the performance of Windows
XP?
*How* is your computer connected to this internet connection? USB connected
ADSL modem? Have you checked for updated drivers, or if the supplier knows
of any problems with their equipment working properly in Vista?
ok lets try again
in xp - i get 300 kbs downloads on the net
in vista i get 30kbs MAX.
i have tried netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
but that didnt help.. am all out of ideas and its the only thing that is
stopping me loving this awsome os :(
1. Can you try direct connect and bypass the router to see what happens
then?
2. Others have reported some problems and a router firmware update seems to
have fixed that.
3. Which model router?
I'd make sure the duplex settings on this router match those on the network
card... Obvious point you've probably looked at already but deserves to be
checked. I'd also see if your network card has driver updates available
(sorry can't remember if you said you already checked this).
Vista has had a lot of issues with VPN clients that are not designed for
Vista because the network stack has had a major re-write and that, of course
is what VPN clients need to dig into. Does the checkpoint product claim
Vista compatibility?
Don't want to keep on about this bit, but the question wasn't whether _we_
understood what you were writing or not, but whether or not _you_ understood
what you were writing and were therefore writing something accurate rather
than just repeating what "someone told you once", which we get here a lot.
If you went to a mechanic for a problem with your car and described the
noise it was making, would you expect them to clarify exactly what was
happening before or after your engine was in pieces all over the floor?
FYI I too have an 8 MB internet connection! It is provided by Comcast in my
area. That sir is an AVERAGE speed and it is sometimes higher than that. My
upload speed is faster than a lot of dsl download speeds. All that being
said, i have exactly the same problem. Using an Emachines system with an
athlon64 in a dual boot mode, the machine can achieve the above speeds
booting under XP but at dialup speeds (around 400kbs) under Vista 64. I've
seen many blogs about this relating to various network settings and drivers
and nothing seems to eleviate the problem. Any help would be greatly
appreciated and passed on to all V64 users.
