Read all the tips on making it faster...no change.  Tried using cable nut but it doesn't help.  Was wondering if anyone could figure out why my net is so freaking slow.  Sometimes it can go fast but most the time its about this slow:

::::::::::.. Download Stats ..::::::::::
Connection is:: 95 Kbps about 0.1 Mbps (tested with 97 kB)
Download Speed is:: 12 kB/s
Tested From:: http://testmy.net/ (server2)
Test Time:: Wed Oct 12 2005 20:35:52 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)
Bottom Line:: 2X faster than 56K 1MB download in 85.33 sec
Diagnosis: May need help : running at only 2.6 % of your hosts average (Cox.net)
Validation Link:: http://testmy.net/stats/id-R9FLK1ZX0

Any Ideas?  I tried power cycling the router and modem...changing the coaxial cables...I dont no what to do. angry5

your routing is horrible. Cox has some network issues.... try unplugging everything for 12-24 hours and getting a new ip. maybe with a new ip you'll be routed differently. And i think their are serious problems with those adresses with high pings. I have one bad router on my route, yet it only effects my conneciton when their are direct IMCP Echo packets sent.
