Have checked the VM website to see if there are any network issues in your area?

had 255 with haxor on it and gud speed but been away for couple of days and didnt use it and now when i tried it only getting 2mb, what has changed since I have been away?

I have done all the usual things, ie: change the last digit of tftp from 1-9, enable pbi/disable it autoserve on/off but nothing seems to work.

Well if your using a 20mbit mac you dont need to force a 20mbit config file because your runing at 20mbit speed with the mac, that could be why your having some problems.

Try a 2mb mac and then force a 10 or 20mbit config see how you get on worked for me, as I,m sure VM are movin the 10 & 20mbit up to doiscs 3 thats why everone is getting chuck off line but thats just what I think....

jayjayw · 03-04-09, 02:02 AM

I agree not bad for free! Im not moaning as long as i can surf im happy.
I am new to doing the modems after my last one packed up the guy who sold me it didn't want to know , So did a little reading and managed to sort it out myself . As for the comment left by captainspalding what a sarcastic ****er... Cheeers mate...........
Thanks TOOLZKIT i will try what you said tomorrow and see how i get on .What is the config name to force 10 and 20 meg please....

I am sorry you feel the need to swear an throw insults my way but at the moment with the problems that have been going on with VM people are lucky to have any free Internet access at all which they DO NOT pay for and be happy with it. And I was just stating admittedly obvious but simple fact.
