rogers hi-speed problem??

[charliebrown]

Using rogers hi-speed lite and noticing some weird problems

downloading some pdf files and notice that i can get like 70KB/sec and 20 secs later, with another file, i get only 3KB/sec (and it's STUCK there)

some files even timeout while other files i'm getting in mere seconds

what gives???

and msn keeps kicking me off!

(i thought it might be my wireless router (DI-524 w/ WPA enabled), so i'm plugged into the router right now. Still same problem

for your other files , are u downloading from BT??
if so there is a thread going around about rogers throttling ports.

Thats the cause of the 3-4kbs downloads..

Try:
- unplugging the power to your modem
- wait 30s
- plug back in
- unplug router's power
- wait until modem is fully connected
- plug in router again
- restart computer

Not BT (hehe...i still havent learned how), just regular PDFs off the internet

will try the resetting of the modem/router now...hope it helps

Are these PDFs on the same server or totally different website?

Change your bittorent port to 1720. It's the one they use for VOIP so they don't choke it off. Watch your rates skyrocket again!!!

sorry, dont BT, so dont how to change to 1720

just PDFs from same website; the reset seems to have helped :)

Mind if I ask what website? Does this happen with other websites?

no problem

looking up filings on sedar.com

also noticed my msn logging in & out every so often before the reset. Seems fairly stable after the reset.
