hello there people,
i live in greece and we have adsl up to 24 mbps which means the further away we live the less speed we get.I live in paros ,which is in the cyclades and the DSLAM is in Athens the capital city of greece.You can see in the map that i am not so far away.
Thats not the problem.My best friend lives a little further away from me(5-10 minutes with a bike) and he is getting 13.30 download speed in his house.Also where my mum works (maisonettes)is far away from civiliasation lol with desert and goats next to it and there they get 13.50 download speed.
In my house with the exact same ISP plan i get rougly 6.5 mbps download(my modem says 8.2)Both of them have aftermarket modems (i mean not the one that the isp gave it to them) so i dont think its a coincidence.Let me talk to you about my set up.My modem/router is almost at the middle of the house.A phone line cable runs from the room of my parents and goes outside of the room in the hall way where the router is right next to the door.The cable is pretty long ,i would say 20 meters, maybe less.The actual distance its not that much its actually 7 meters but we have tied it up.I have tested the modem with a 1 meter cable exactly next to my pc and i get 8mbps the most.Also ,its not a straight line cable.It has a splitter in the middle.So i am asking if anyone knows any reasons i get half the speed as my friend and the maisonettes?
i have talked to my ISP and they said did you reset your modem?i said no and i went to do it ,same exact speed, and they said "anything else i can do to you?"lol and i said no*i also said fk you inside me but meh*
Worth notice that they have aftermarket modems as i mentioned above
Some of the reasons that i can think is that 1.the wiring in the house is old
2.The modem has got old (6 years old)
3.The wiring may have a problem(but i said that i tried with a different 1 meter cable next to my pc and it didnt change much)
The modem that maisonettes have is a td-w8970.
Also i have noticed that a month now the speed drops to like 0.2 mbps and the ping goes to 600 and i cant do anything especially if am playing games
ty so much
