wilkes

I ran a download speed check a few weeks ago and registered 63 mb/sec.

Seems like they never edited the config file for your connection. Call tech support back and ask them to make sure that they actually made the edits on the config file...

my service was screwy for about 8 hours as or right after they did the switch to 60m.now its consistently +-2m

keep ragging their arse

They replaced my modem about two weeks or so ago Satan. Just checked 23.2 down 4.47 up

if you haven't gotten a new modem from them recently(1-2 yrs) you wont get full speeds.
their office is beside just save

Just install the OS on the SSD and set it as the primary boot disk. Since Raid is configured in the BIOS, it may stick with a new instance of Windows. Hopefully you won't need to reconfigure the raid array, but just keep in mind that you may have to. Wished there was a way to edit previous posts... I wouldn't have to create another post, but yet could keep it all nice and polished in one post.

I don't believe you can keep the existing raid as Windows will not detect it. You may be forced to redo the raid 1 setup from scratch after you install the SSD.

1.Install SSD
2.Disconnect HDD's, . (This is to prevent windows from writing the boot loader to the raid and creating a dual boot)
3. Don't forget to change AHCI mode to Raid in the BIOS
4.Power up and install windows.
5.When windows is done installing, power down.
6.Reconnect Raid drives.
7.Power on and setup as desired.

That should get you started. Let me know if you need additional help.

There is an SSD on the shelf behind my desk. I have not had the time to install it. Have not set down and read up on the configuration that I need to use the SSD as a boot drive and keep my Raid array

What was the reason you upgraded from 30-60? There is a big download difference on 60 compared to 30. Have you tried resetting your cable modem? I do know a lot of times a reset of the modem is required in order for it to detect the change in the text file that resides on their server that actually throttles the connection. All of that power and you didn't even mention a SSD...

Using Charter Speedtest. I cannot tell the difference in downloading large databases.

Depends on what server you're hitting when you are doing the speedtest. Go download a big file somewhere and you'll notice the difference. Loading websites is not just tied to your internet connection, but the computer itself. A slow CPU, cache buildup, slow memory, hdd vs ssd, and etc... all play a factor in how fast those pages load.

Got 60mb service last week. Big joke. On 30mb service my average download speed, over several weeks, was 19.8 and upload 3.3 With 60mb average download is 22.2 and up is 4.4mbs
