[07:44]<@jacky> BC_Programming: Yoo hoo
[07:45]<@jacky> if you are alive, say something
[07:45]<@jacky> :)
[07:45]<@BC_Programming> hi
[07:45]<@jacky> that'll do
[07:45]<@jacky> heh
[07:45]<@jacky> I have interesting problem
[07:45]<@jacky> got a few minutes?
[07:45]<@BC_Programming> sure
[07:45]<@jacky> finally got Verizon to move my DSL line from one phone to the other
[07:45]<@jacky> of course, they lowered the speed.... ... again
[07:45]<@jacky> I'd kept the tech's business card
[07:45]<@jacky> called him
[07:45]<@jacky> he did something
[07:46]<@jacky> he calls some office and haves them remove the "optimizer" from my line
[07:46]<@jacky> I can see in the modem config, the speed setting changed
[07:46]<@jacky> it is back to "normal", or very close
[07:46]<@jacky> and with speakeasy.net/speedtest
[07:46]<@jacky> it is back to what it should be
[07:46]<@jacky> about 1 Meg
[07:46]<@jacky> down
[07:46]<@jacky> but
[07:46]<@jacky> anythhing I try to download... is not that fast
[07:47]<@jacky> I used to get 120-125 kbps
[07:47]<@jacky> now... maybe 100
[07:47]<@jacky> I'm baffled
[07:47]<@jacky> and I can't complain, until I figure it out
[07:47]<@jacky> how can a speedtest be one thing, and downloads be slower?
[07:47]<@jacky> y'know?
[07:48]<@BC_Programming> 1mbps or 1 megabyte/sec?
[07:48]<@jacky> I get lost in the difference in terms
[07:48]<@jacky> explain, and I'll answer
[07:48]<@jacky> sorry
[07:49]<@BC_Programming> well, I remember speakeasy used to show the megabytes a second, but I just tried it and they don't do that anymore, it is only showing megabits/sec
[07:49]<@BC_Programming> megabit being 1 eight of a megabyte
[07:49]<@BC_Programming> one-eighth*
[07:49]<@jacky>
[07:50]<@jacky> Last Result:
[07:50]<@jacky> Download Speed: 1011 kbps (126.4 KB/sec transfer rate)
[07:50]<@jacky> Upload Speed: 357 kbps (44.6 KB/sec transfer rate)
[07:50]<@jacky>
[07:50]<@BC_Programming> oh wait it does show it, underneath
[07:50]<@jacky> that's copy n paste... just did it
[07:50]<@jacky> and, is about what I used to get.
[07:51]<@jacky> fwiw, verizon's online speed test comes back with: 0.95 Mbps
[07:51]<@jacky> (speakeasy was 1.01)
[07:51]<@jacky> so they are in the same ballpakr
[07:51]<@jacky> ballpark*
[07:51]<@jacky> but... downloads consistently are now at 95 - 100 kbps, where they used to be 120-125kbps
[07:52]<@BC_Programming> curious
[07:52]<@jacky> with either utorrent, or just Firefox built in d/l manager
[07:52]<@jacky> have you got some site that I can do a test d/l from?
[07:53]<@BC_Programming> hmm
[07:53]<@jacky> just for the heck of it
[07:55]<@BC_Programming> no idea.. you could try dling something from my downloads page: http://bc-programming.com/index.php?page=downloads&dltype=1
[07:56]<@BC_Programming> but, I wouldn't really know what to do or why it would be ~100 rather then ~120
[07:56]<@jacky> rats
[07:57]<@jacky> I was hoping you'd have some ideas to explore
[07:57]<@jacky> I'm baffled
[07:57]<@jacky> what, on your page, has some size to it?
[07:57]<@jacky> I'm looking....
[07:57]<@BC_Programming> baseblock I think is the biggest, but they should all be large enough, except WOWTask
[07:58]<@jacky> I might not even complete the d/l... just want to see whta happens
[07:58]<@jacky> brb
[07:58]<@BC_Programming> yeah
[07:58]<@jacky> !! it's d/ling at around 120
[07:58]<@jacky> amazing
[07:59]<@jacky> now I need to try to remember whta I was d/ling with FF, that was at 100
[07:59]<@jacky> oh
[07:59]<@jacky> brb
[07:59]<@BC_Programming> hmm, maybe it was a site issue I guess, from wherever you were dl-ing
[07:59]<@jacky> I tried a couple, and a couple torrents
[07:59]<@BC_Programming> in other words, probably not on your end
[07:59]<@jacky> all were the same
[07:59]<@jacky> brb... looking again
[08:01]<@jacky> I used this, when testing the other day: http://download.openoffice.org/other.html
[08:01]<@jacky> but today... even though it is not up to 120... it is better... floating around 105 - 115
[08:01]<@jacky> need to find a torrent, and try that again, I guess
[08:01]<@jacky> brb
[08:03]<@jacky> nope... Open Office torrent... floats around 90 to 95
[08:03]<@jacky> every once in a while, hits 100
[08:03]<@jacky> mostly 90 to 92
[08:03]<@jacky> and OO was always a good one to test with, in the past
[08:04]<@BC_Programming> well I have no clue
[08:04]<@jacky> this sucks
[08:04]<@jacky> sigh
[08:04]<@jacky> I'm in a corner
[08:04]<@jacky> can't complain
[08:04]<@jacky> yet, it doesn't perform
[08:04]<@jacky> heheeheh
[08:04]<@jacky> I'm telling ya... Verizon is a monster pain in the ass anymore
[08:04]<@jacky> I had perfect service from them, for years
[08:05]<@jacky> until I needed to do something, then they go all to sh*t
[08:05]<@jacky> ok
[08:05]<@jacky> well... in your travels, if you see something, please remember me, and let me know
[08:05]<@jacky> tnx
[09:11]<@jacky> be back later...
