now do you think if i had a shorter coaxial cable wire from my wall to the modem and a longer ethernet cable to go from my router to my computer would it make it go faster cause right now i got a 25 foot coaxial cable wire and a shorter, crinkled ethernet cable. do you think it would make it any faster.
****ing god damn comcast

i dont think the length of the coaxial cable matters .. i think thats based on light or something like that..
now a shorter, uncrinkled ethernet cord would help.
uncrinkle the enet cord you have, and if that doesnt do anything, call comcast, and see if they can check the router/cable modem ... if that does check out to be ok, then have them check settings on the computer, and if that checks out ok, then its the comcast lines, and you need to figure out what speed you are paying for, and then complain about not getting what your paying for, and then if that doesnt do anything, switch if you can to a different service

ok well i called comcast and he did some kind of ping test and he said the signal was very week. he said it could just be the signal or the modem its self so i'll have to wait till sunday causes thats when a guys coming over to check out the modem. so hope all goes well.
ok well the cable LADY :wink just left. well according to there tests the modem is fine. she did the speedeasy test and i got a download speed of 6145kbps and an upload speed of 359kbps. but what i dont understand is to why it says this under my speed test. http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/

downloading is not my problem. its mostly the loading of the pages is so slow that it locks up. but when she did the test the signal was a little low but she asked where my cable was coming from and i showed her and she said who ever did this set up did it wrong. so she re did it and did the signal test again and it was better then before. so we will see.

ok im about to give up. its acting up again. i seriously think its a browser problem. i took off Firefox and reinstalled it and it downloaded the file in about a second or 2. so i knows its not a downloading problem. its got to be a browser problem. it doesnt matter if im using firefox or IE6. loading of the pages are so slow to where it locks up. the lady even gave me alink i can use to check the staus of my modem and everything checks out fine.
is there anything computer wise i can do to maybe speed up the browsing. maybe refragmenting or convert from a FAT32 to a NTFS. systerm max says the FAT32 is really only good for a system that has 4 GB or less. and i have a 60 GB HD

eh ... the file system shouldnt cause the problem. the file system is how the computer operating system accesses files stored on your hard drives. if not dual booting ( like windows xp and windows 98 ) or something like that, i would go ahead and convert to ntfs. that may be a big and involved step, unless there is a utility that can do that.
have you emptied your temp folder recently?

yeah i do it alot. with my system max system i just have to click something and it will convert over to NTFS. dint take to long last time i did it but then not to long ago i clicked a button and restored my computer to like it was from the factory. so ill go ahead and do it again and i did the analized to see if i needed to refragment and windows says i should go ahead and do that so il do that too and if it doesnt help im gonna smash the computer to a million billion pieces.
