Upload is probably capped so you're SOL. What's you're actual speedtest upload result?

Quoted: Upload is probably capped so you're SOL. What's you're actual speedtest upload result? It says "Upload Test Error". It can't even complete it. I was trying to add an ETA to the original post but it won't even go through. Hoping this reply can... Is this something on my end or a DSL provider problem?

Try this:
http://www.dslreports.com/tweaks Edit: Usually you have to have your router running for a while for it to handshake with the CO and make adjustments. Sometimes it takes a day or two. If you have another computer and produce the same results that is probably it. Process of elimination is the best route for this kind of thing. |

I think I may have found the problem. I feel kind of like an idiot because I should have tested this sooner.
I was running Cat5 from the router to a switch in my room, and then two more Cat5 cables went to two different desks in my room (I had been plugged into one of these cables). I just took the cable that was running directly from the router and plugged it into my computer. Upload speed is now actually testable and is about what it was last semester. So apparently my MiLAN switch is toast. Weird that it would still allow download but basically block me from uploading much of anything? Not techy enough to understand how that could happen when it's all running through the same cables, but I just know it works for now. As I'm typing this I just lost internet connection entirely and then it came back on by itself- didn't touch anything. I'm wondering if I should just let this sit overnight and come back tomorrow with a clear head. It's fairly functional now, so I can try different cables and what not tomorrow. I wonder if I have a bad cable. Maybe it just needs some time to do the "handshake" stuff you mentioned. |

There's a reason why even at home, I pretty much refuse to run consumer-grade routers and switches.
