The REO Lounge - Part III

[MamaTried]

Yeah, I pay a just few dollars less than I did in the city for fast internet and cable combined. Plus the $350 upfront for the satellite. It's a fair trade off for living in the country, except on Woodvil sale nights!

Even with my super slow internet I was able to snag a beauty in the past two sales.


I'm using this > N600 DB Wireless Dual-Band N+ Router | Routers | Wireless | Networking | Products | Belkin USA Site cheapie from Walmart.
is that some of the problem?

that router is most likely faster than anything connected to it. most slow internet issues are usually either the provider, or perhaps in Buddy's case, the DSL or cable modem. most wireless routers stand up well enough,unless you have multiple devices connected streaming videos or playing games or intensive stuff like that.

^^^^^^yeah what Dennis said That router would do well in my home
My isp supports the docsis3 but my modem is only a 2
Your router spec can handle 300mbps!! whoa!!

So exactly how do you check your internet speed ?
I know it's Road Runner, the cul-de-sac box is in my front yard about 70 feet from my house, and after my neighbors house got hit by lightning two years ago we all got new, updated wiring. Not much of a tech guy here....

i go to "www. speedtest.net" and let it run. Then get all annoyed when HRH does the same thing 5 minutes later and gets a faster result!

That is good to know. Last time I called India to complain about it being slow they said it was my router, their speedtest shows that everything is acceptable.

Also, is it strange that it shows my server is in Kansas but I live in Texas?

Sorry Della, but I don't know what a url is and I've never done 'cut and paste' correctly.
I did the test, and it says; PING 27ms (?), DOWNLOAD SPEED 14.67Mbps, UPLOAD SPEED 1.08Mbps.
( can anyone tell me what that means ? will it be an issue sale night ?)

 

[supertrunker]

ping: time it takes for the 2 computers to say hello to each other

download: how fast you receive data

upload: how fast you send it.

No problem on sale night unless Dennis buys the internet next week!

Looks like you are faster than I am and two brand new woodvils made it into my cart on two separate sale nights.

i have slow cable as it only costs me 25 a month

Does anybody know where I can get one of the multimeters with the 510 connection built in? Ive seen them posted around and would like to get one.

if you wanna wait until a certain lazy person i know gets off his ...., you're likely to find some on craigslist...

 

[supertrunker]

You also have to realise that a lot of it depends on what you have running at any one time. Right now in my house HRH is streaming music and DJing, typically playing candy crush on another screen, all over her main video game. My machine has this page up, plus a review video i am watching and a video game on another screen. ALL AT THE SAME TIME!

On sale night, all i will be running is our machines and web browsers pointed at Reosmods!

In my defence we have no tv
