| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00  | Seph, Do you know of any tricks to help us poor dial-up folks??? Where I live, I can't get DSL because I have a digital splitter in my line, and there will be no Optimum-On-Line as promised by Cablevision for at least 2 years. In fact, because of the digital splitter, nobody in this neighborhood gets over 26.4K service. Any suggestions would be appreciated. A big FU to Verizon & Cablevision for their shitty service! :( :( :( :( :( :( DOC Buster DR. Buster Hymen "Spread Your Legs & Say Aahhh" Buster_Hymen@opieanthony.com | ||||

Then, select the second patch for windows 98, this one. There are 2 patches available if you have Windows 98. I guess WBK showed us to use the second one, and the importance of creating a save file.

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | Oh well, I was hoping that you wizards might have some ticks up your sleeve. I have heard about the satellite service-Sunstar. Haven't really heard how good it is. Anyone have it? I'm not even sure if it's in the area yet. OK, no streaming video for now. That'll really suck with the new Stinky Cam!!! Thanks anyway, guys. DOC Buster DR.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | I haven't heard of that one. The only two I know are Starband and DirecPC. Out of those two I recommend Starband. You average speeds of 200-300 Kbs.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Apr. 01 | I would think that if you could get a satellite signal where you live...it's available. do you see any of your neighbors w/dishes in their yards?  Sluggo667...Neighbor of the beast... UH...I forgot what I wanted to say... AIM-Slugggo667 | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | AM, you're right. I was thinking of Starband. And no Sluggo, nobody in the neighborhood here has satellite DSL service. That's why I'd like to know if it is even worthwhile to look into. I know that Starband requires a view of the southern sky; it beats me if I even have this. I had also heard of a service that the phone co. was working on using fiberoptics instead of copper transmission. Anyone hear anything about this? Doc Buster DR.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Apr. 01 | Yeah the satellites are pretty much south west.

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | Will this work with the T1's in the colleges? And also, being lazy and having no knowledge of the computer, can you post exactly how you got to that patch. Does it come up on the first screen or do you have to search for it. "Now the seasons over, and I feel it gettin' cold. I wish I could take you to some sandy beach road, we'ed never grow old.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | I'm a little unsure about this whole thing. Are you a single stand alone pc hooked up to your cable modem or are you on a network? while we are on the topic of cable modems...I currently have dsl with Earthlink 1.5/128 and I am NEVER down. Is cable as stable and will I always have a connection around 2-3 megs? ps...satellites ok, enormous ping times though  Kiss Me I'm Duff This message was edited by Spuds_Buckley on 8-25-01 @ 5:45 PM | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | I'm sharing a cable modem with my pop, he's got the direct connection, I'm networked into it.. here are my stats Before: 646 down 99 up 12x faster than 56k After : 1413 down 88 up 28x faster than 56k I'm a little concerned about my upload speed DECREASING!! Although that's only a little slower. I'm gonna try it on my pop's computer and see what happens.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | All this little tweak does is set a few values in your registry. Before you touch the REG file, the values do not even exist in your registry - Windows simply uses its own defaults. Once the custom settings are in, it uses those instead. The major change here is the TCPWindowSize. This controls the number of bytes that can be downloaded without your computer answering the sender. In other words, when you download a file, your computer will periodically send a packet saying that all is going well, and to keep going. The tweak simply increases this interval. I don't remember what the default is, but the tweak sets it up so you can download 256kbytes before it sends up a packet.... that's awesome. That's also where you get your speed increase, since you're not wasting time and bandwidth sending these packets...  Me droogies: HydratedPeach is siiiiingin' in the rain.

| Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01 | For those of you noticing a speed DECREASE... Try the test again late at night - as has been said before there are a myriad of reasons why your connection might be slow. If you are trying to get a speed measuring when there is a lot of network congestion things will seem slower than they are. You can try the test a couple of times and pick out an average if it makes you feel better. I think most people do get a speed kick after these registry values are created/edited though. So in other words, don't do your initial test at 2am and then do your post-patch test at 8pm the next day. Remember that the testing location is California, so adjust for the three hour time difference as well.  "Look how hot they're getting. And that's an old picture," Anthony says. | ||||
