Cable modem test??

[Vain]

Hey I have a test for you this is something I found out by mistake. Okay start you computer but without your cablemodem box plug in. Wait until windows starts let in log in, etc... plug your cablemodem back in, give it a few and then your computer will let you go back on the net, my speed increased to an amazing 970kb/s it took 11seconds to download 10.5megs. I test my theroy reseting an letting start plugged in and back to 320 kb/s. Then I went back to above to test again to make sure no flux and thanks you 970kb/s again. WOW! test this out and let me know, and if anybody read this and get this on there cable modem let, please reply. To get accurate speed result do this 10megs time it, and 10240 by givin sec = kb/s

Do you mean power off the cable modem until the computer boots, or just unplug the line from teh cable modem to the computer?

Unplug the power cable from you cable box. I have four light, 3 are lit, commonly if I hit the reset in back it would take bout 10flashes to get the cable lit solid, do this take 2. Anyways yes reset your computer unplug the box, just pull out the cord from the box itself, wait till windows boots up in all, plug back in, the box will do its test. All lights a go, check to see if you can get on the net. Once I wasnt able to so I just reseted and try again, check you speed by download from local server and the speed should take off.

Did you take into account that the file might be cached on the cable server? Perhaps you should do the same experiment, but download different files from the same server.
