 When posting you mchi speedtest it would be interesting to see the state. or region your testing from. There is no way to compare from the database. Wondered how many Mediacom users test here on testmy.net I am in MS and my scores have gone further south than I live!

Did you change packages? Did you clean out your temp files? Maybe it finally got fixed by the comp monster.  wink

Well things are improving... and should even get better when they finish the new head-end down the road.Only fair to give tha guys a Big.. thumbsup...on their help!  Been a long time coming. I would have never been able to prove my case to Mediacom had it not been for the database and host stats that no longer work for Mchsi on testmy-net! At least I made a copy before it messed up.
 Here are my latest speeds..

its not the modem its my cable signal.  when the cable guy came thru a while back he tested the signal on the line and it was like -4 or somethin like that.  they were able to get it up to like +5 for signal strength but its still really weak.  i deal with it.  its better then dial up.

After speaking to a tech friend at my mchsi head-end I was informed that the company specs for power level is from -7 dBmV to +7 dBmV.
He said he got best results anywhere from "0 to -5 dBmV" . A +5 and above may slow your speeds down. He had a couple of suggestions.
1. Run a diag on your modem while you are online and note your status... Depending on your modem it should show you info similar to what I have below.
2. If your signal is above +1dBmV try putting a 2way splitter just before the cable modem and check your speeds again.

Forward Path:
   Signal Acquired at 111.000 MHz
   SNR: 35.9 dB
   Recieved Signal Strength -4.5 dBmV
   Bit Error Rate  0.001%
   Modulation  64 QAM
   
Return Path:
    Connection
    Freq   31.5 MHz
    Power Level 48.8 dBmV
    Channel ID  5
    Modulation   QPSK

I had a speed issue for quite some time and it turned out the node was overloaded and a lot of noise on the line.
You may want to go to www.dslreports.com and check out the line quality test. There should be users from your area in the Mediacom forum found there.

Good Luck
