HELP SBC DSL 3.0-6.0 Mbps running SLOW!

[darkverto]

Hey all just subscribed to the SBC(Att) DSL ELITE and speed has not increased, i logged into my modem and it says my downstream is 6Mbps but ran several speed tests and getting same results. I have checked for viruses/spyware and clean as needed daily but speed just stays the same. Running the 2wire modem on a wireless connection...but have tried w/ a network cable connected and achieved same results. Here is my speed test:

Would appreciate any help if possible, thanks

try testing with just the modem

[darkverto]

The modem itself is a router its all built into one. Ive tried w/ wireless connection to it and straight cable connection w/ same results.

o i see,  try doing a hard reset and check your results. Have you tweaked your connection?

[dlewis23]

as AMC said try reseting your modem and starting fresh on that. also have you called SBC about this?

[darkverto]

I tried doing a reset of the modem just now, i have tried in the past but didnt do anything, it brought me up a little but still not to where it should be:

Also, I have tried tweaking w/o any results. I've tried taking down the firewall and other little stuff here and there but no results have been noticed. I have yet to call SBC because it has been about 2 weeks since I've recieved the "NEW" faster service but i am still right where I was before i upgraded.

[darkverto]

I figured out why my first check was so slow, there was something downloading in backround haha, this last one I did is what my NORMAL speed is just noticed *slapforehead*

What couldhad been running for 2 weeks????

[dlewis23]

was it like windows update or something like that?

[darkverto]

haha no, I had something when I did that initial testmy test, then I noticed it was super low, and tested again while I was downloading and had same results, the second post of results is my normal showing, but definetely not right for a min3 max 6 Mbps conn

[dlewis23]

darkverto i would call SBC about it, they have tools that will tell you if you will ever be able to get close to the 6Mbps

[darkverto]

Yeah definetely I will call them, I'm not really concerned with getting the MAXIMUM amount but I would appreciate being higher than my service that was 20 bucks cheaper heh

[darkverto]

Well just a update I called SBC and they still had my router inside the modem capped at orig speed looking great now ! Thanks for advice
