upload speed

[gozzy1]

My upload speed is limited to 52kbps. Ihave done a speed test these are the results;

IP profile - 6500kbps

DSL conection rate

down stream -8096kbps

up stream -448kbps

Am i right in thinking my conection type is xx/10Mbit and what else can i do to improve the upload rate?

Thanks for any help

no, you are wrong with 10Mbit, because the value the speedguide is refering to behind the xx/ is the uploadspeed. So correct setting would be xx/512k or a bit below those values for your 448k uploadrate.

No. xx/10Mbit refers to a ten megabit upload rate, not download. Change your settings to around xx/512. Realistically, you won't be getting much better of an upload rate than 52 KB/s on a 512 upstream. The theoretical maximum for your line is 64 KB/s, but you'll never actually reach it. Do not set it to 10Mb, or you'll completely saturate your connection and reduce your download speed substantially.

If you need the best speeds your connection can give you, then just use the speed guide and tweak manually as needed.

Good luck.

Uh, NO, 1c3d0g's guide should not be recommended. Do check the last post in that thread -- it was locked for a reason.

Well gosh darn. I just had it in my bookmarks from a long time ago and I remembered it working for me back then. I apologize for that, I'll edit it out of my post.

Heh don't worry about it. I thought you were still suggesting it while knowing our reasons for locking it

Nah, I'd prefer to not get in trouble for mod sassing
