Roadrunner Premium is boosting its speed from 8 mbit Down and .5 mbit up to 15 Mbit down and 1 Mbit up, zomfg they read my mind man, im Spazzin like an autistic kid.

Um.. yeah.. SAHWEET!

[Billy Pumper]

wow i wonder if i could get service from them here in the south

[Sniprwulf]

optiumum online did that in my area but the cost came with a premium of some more dough per month.

[DarkShadow]

RR Premium is only 64 / month or something if you have Digital Cable, which i do so its only 20 dollars more then standard which is 7mb, double the speed for 20 dollars is worth it.

[poopsmcgee]

Wow that's pretty nice. Is that fibre right into you place then? I can't get fibre out here in the sticks

[DarkShadow]

Cable, Actually.

Which totally disproves shlonky's theory of Coax going at 10 Mbit Max.

Damn... i was spazzing out when i got 6mb internet, but 15?? that's like almost 2 megs a sec... but the only thing it's useful for right now is for downloading a bunch of files at the same time.. because i only got to use my full speed once, when i was downloading the vista beta.. they had high speed servers there.. most servers cap at 500kb.. unless you're a subscriber at like fileplanet (although i dont know what the cap is on those servers...) but if you ever get full speed, take a pic and post it.. that would be crazy to see!!

Haven't changed mine yet. Since they changed regular RR to 7 down about a year ago, they better up the speed of premium IMO. Not much sence in having ergular RR at 7 and premium at 8 + an extra 20kB upload for twice the price.

Now 15 down and 1 up is some serious sh*t.

Got to check your .bin file Shadow and hookmyself up.

What I meant by the speed of around 10 mBit is upload....... Down and we can max out the modem at around 43 mBit I imagine.

[DarkShadow]

dont worry shlonky, I talked with a level 3 guy and he said their rolling it out by the 15th, and said that some * already * will notice it.

Hehe nice, seems like alot of companies are upgrading now. Less than a month ago Embarq (new Sprint) upgraded my 0.5/0.5 to 5/1 for free. Much love to them. 500kbps down is teh shizzle

I thought this topic was going to be about how to speed your connection up by tweaking. And it reminded me of a little easy trick I'm sure alot of you know already, namely turning off QoS.
run "gpedit.msc", open computer config, open admin templates then network. Open QoS Packet Scheduler, right click "limit reservable bandwidth" and choose properties. enable it and set the value to 0.
You've then technically sped up your connection by 20%, default is that XP hogs that 20% for basically no reason.

or just uncheck QoS on ur nic card Settings via network control panel.

or just uncheck QoS on ur nic card Settings via network control panel.

Uncheck: "Shadow's Fast Connection"

Check: "Slow as f*ck" AND "Maximum Packet Loss"

[Chris82]

Guess what other productive things he can do with his connection?






Taste the lag!

How did you have so many vent windows open

[DarkShadow]

shh ;P

[Sgt.Buttery]

How do I uncheck QoS with XP Home?

And if anyone has strategies for speeding up your connection on Roadrunner Cable besides QoS, lmk.

EDIT: I found out how to uncheck QoS, nvm....
If you have any other tips though, post em.

Here you go.

Wow. that's just awesome. And yeah I would have agreed wit shlonky that cable could never beat 10 megabits..
