Need more quota

That's rather quickly isn't it.
You know, for all that apparent speed, it definitely doesn't feel as 'snappy' as my node connection. This is especially evident when logging into some websites and also, and most troubling, when I use my iPhone to listen to internet radio. The phone takes much longer to connect to a station, seems to spend forever buffering the data stream and then the broadcast frequently 'breaks up'. I think I actually get better performance listening to internt radio via 3G.

Strange behaviour. Can you try another modem?
IMO it is your modem which is slow.

It's the new and improved biggles cable modem!

biggles, find your gateway IP address at telstra and plug it in here in a cmd window.
ping -n 1000 ip.address.here
then see if there are any lost replies in the summary at the end.
It could be that your connection is dropping packets... but why is LG still showing your internode IP address as your posting IP?

That's possible because there are numerous reports of dud Netgear modems, but as this is a cable modem, finding another for testing purposes is impossible. Each modem has to be registered via a secure portal on Telstra's website. This happens automatically the first time you fire up your browser after installation, provided everything goes as it should..

1. I'll give that a try.
2. I found my old Belkin modem.
I couldn't remember why I replaced it with the Dynalink, but then it came to me. The on/off button wouldn't stay in when pressed. I fixed that some insulation tape so I've been using up all my node quota before the billing period ends.. got to get my money's worth out of them before I cut them loose..

Have you got speedtest on your iPhone?
If you don't than please install it and check Wi-Fi with that.

no, that's pretty good. But you are using internode, not telstra.

How so? I have both modems atm and changed to the Bigpond one to run that test?
Only you knew that. I could see that you were posting from Internode.
Still, 3 lost packets in 1000 shouldn't affect much. If it was 10% then it could have slowed the snappiness of the connection.
Ah.. I thought that somehow my pc was defaulting back to Bigpond and that you could see that whereas I couldn't. Perhaps I should have explained that I conducted the test while connected through Bigpond and then switched back to node to access this forum in order to use up more of my node quota...
Here's another test that I conducted around 10:30pm yesterday.

Sorry misi, I missed that
That will teach me to read this forum when I'm half asleep.
I'm downloading and installing it now.
