theonlyski 3 #1 August 7, 2012 Here's the fix http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lG5cEik2ABY&feature=related QuoteHow to get a faster internet connection from your internet service provider. Should work for DSL, Dial up, fiber, and anything else. It's a pretty simple trick but if it doesn't work then don't bug me about it, since it doesn't work every time. And you don't have to cut the cable; so if you don't want to risk a few dollars don't cut it! I never said to anyway.

BillyVance 34 #3 August 7, 2012 I tried to watch it but I couldn't understand enough of what he was saying. Did he just wrap a cat-5 wire around the end of the blue cable and tape it, and do the same thing at the other end? No splicing into the cable wires? Dude, my internet speed sucks donkey balls. I definitely want to increase the speed without paying more."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ryoder 1,384 #5 August 7, 2012 Please tell me he doesn't really believe the BS he is spouting.It would have been simpler to just do what some dufus did at TCI in the 90's. He wasn't happy that the offices had not yet been upgraded from 10Mb to 100Mb, so he brought in his own 10/100 mini-switch, plugged a 10Mb port into the wall-jack, and plugged his workstation into a 100Mb port, then proudly bragged about how much better his workstation performed.

Sounds legit. The part I like the best is in the description he said it will work for fiber... Must be that new EMI sensitive fiber.

Most of the test servers are hosted by some dude in their garage. For instance I tested it with a server, located in the same city I live and I only got 64 Mbps download. However if I download from some content provider that can afford to have a proper servers I can get over 100 Mbps. Although you could of course always argue that its more realistic since most content isn't provided by proper companies with proper bandwidth to begin with.Your rights end where my feelings begin.

theonlyski 3 #17 July 29, 2014 ryoder LudditeI've been running native IPv6 via Comcast for two years. I was on DSL using HE's tunnel broker service for many years before that. I'm not against IPv6, I'm just too lazy to care much about it. I just flipped it on in my router but didn't get any prefixes DHCP. I probably at some point should register my own prefix but again, that's the whole me being lazy thing."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
