My modem pauses for extended periods of time before and during transfers. Strangely enough, it even does this when I try to view files on http://localhost (I have MS Personal Web Server installed). Sometimes it can take up to ten to fifteen seconds before the activity light on the modem even goes off.
However, I checked on both CNet's Bandwidth meter and dslreports.com and BOTH said that my connection was fine.
This has been happening to me ever since the service was activated. I tried using those network tweaker programs to see if it would work. When they didn't work, I ended up reinstalling Windows. No improvement. I tried installing those tweaks on the Cable/DSL page, and they helped with improving the speeds of transfers, but not with the frequent pausing. Hell, I've even tried changing my CPU's BUS speed from 66MHz to 100.
I asked my friends if this ever happens to them and how often and they both said every few *days* or *weeks*... THIS HAPPENS TO ME SEVERAL TIMES AN HOUR!
If someone could please help, I would SERIOUSLY appreciate it.
My PC is:
-Celeron 600MHz
-128MB SDRAM PC100
-10GB HD
-Netgear FA311 Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter (plugged into the second PCI slot)
-Infospeed DSL Modem (Westell)
Software is:
-Windows Me
-VerizonDSL (WinPOET)
