sucks big time....my torrent max is 2m down andmost of the time is around 40k like streamyx 512 speed. but it just happened today...will wait until tmr and see how. i sure hope they didn't start the quatra implementation yet

yesterday i showed you guys my ridiculous speed but i didn't suspect it was maxis problem so i left it as it is hoping today would be better but it isn't. let me show you the result im getting



before i got this speed it was good since almost 2 months i've been using. my desktop is placed in my room and it's running on wifi instead of wired. the reason why its on wifi because my maxis thompson wifi is located right in the middle of the house and my desktop is located at the back of my house which is my room and not too far away from the thompson modem. I live upstairs and the modem is downstairs in the middle of the house. when i 1st installed maxis FTTH it was good. from my room im getting 10mb up and down which i still has the speed test result. it was all good, torrent can get max, played d3 with no lag, direct download can get max speed. All the sudden on the 4th of September (which was 2 days ago) i wanted to watch the latest WWE raw episode which i normally download every tuesday after work because that's when someone should have uploaded the torrent. I've been a raw fan for a long time and since i got maxis FTTH , when ever i download raw new episode it would take me 20 mins or less for a 1.5gb file. So i downloaded the latest episode and realized it's taking very slow. speed was like 20-200k and no consistent. dont know why so i restarted the modem a few times to test and still the same result. did speed test and got crappy result. i didn't care, thinking it was just that day internet was lousy so my wwe raw new episode finished downloading after 4 hours ++. 2 days of continuous usage i find speed was still crappy. Others here are getting decent speed but i am not so i dont think its maxis or tm problem. took my phone did a speed test from where my desktop is and got crappy speed test. i did another test just right at the thompson modem and guess what....MAX SPEED!

so i was troubleshooting, thinking how in the world did this happened suddenly when things was working normally in the past? what i can think of there is only 2 possibilities

1) either the Thompson modem wifi signal has weaken (which originally it's already week but for my case it was ok so i didn't bother changing it to another brand)

OR

2) my PCI wifi card signal has weaken (it;s a dlink brand and i think its about 2 years old since i started using it and i think i bought the cheapest one at that time)
a friend of mine who work in the networking field who sell those wifi modem said the signal can weaken if it's old already

so i might want to change my PCI card to a stronger one like this one

im sure it's signal to detect the wifi should be alot stronger than my current one.

i have 1 more test to do and thats from my work laptop. will try and do a speed test from the desktop location and see how's the speed is. chances it will still be lousy.

so anyone if you faces this kind of problem before?

look at the speed now



some my download speed is crappy but upload is normal. it just gets harder to troubleshoot now.

i used inssider and found out sometimes there is someone using the same channel (6) with me but he is on and off not always on. you guys think i should change to some other channel?
