Thanks for posting this, Brandon....you have overcome a lot. Best wishes for health and prosperity in the future...if you haven't already heard of it, check out Essiac...it is an amazing immune system booster and I know many people who have had cancer that swear by it. I have seen it work...

Sorry I will try to explain it better ...yes, nitro is supposed to get up to 25 Mbps down...I get over 20 Mbps down with the shaw speed test usually. With speakeasy I am getting around 2500 kbps down to seattle and 11500 kbps to Chicago with Automatically detect settings turned off. When I...

One last thing...my techs suggestion is to install a new browser, as he thinks Internet Explorer may be the issue (he said either firefox or google chrome). I have only ever used IE so I am not keen to do that.

I have a shaw nitro cable account (max 25k down). Shaw speedtests always show me around 20k...speak easy and speedtest.net show me very different results. My tests to Chicago and New York (I am in BC) are decent (over 8k usually), but my speedtests to Seattle and Vancouver (the closest...

Thanks :) No I am on cable...I had to uncheck the "automatically detect settings" box again because my ip address kept switching and the cable company said they have no idea where the second ip is coming from. Strangely enough my speed is staying up this time. I am waiting for my regular tech...

Also, under connection settings...should I have "automatically detect network settings " checked or unchecked? I was told to turn it off because my ip address was showing up as a proxy, but my speeds went to hell. When I put it back on, my ip address is now showing up fine anyway, and my speed...

protection for my computer? I was using komodo firewall and antivirus, but there were so many pop-ups that I didn't know what to do with. Every time I did a scan it wouldn't find anything, and yet it said it had blocked hundreds of intrusion attempts everyday. I had a new tech look at my...

Thanks for the reply Mgookin...is that ping bad? I am used to about 38 out East. And yes, I am pinging my broker in chicago.

4000 down/4000 up on a dedicated line (ping 70+) or 13000+ down/ almost 1000 up on a cable line (ping 70+) I am scalping fast-moving NYSE stocks. Also would being out East make a noticeable difference?

I'm interested to hear the answer to this too. I can't trade either today. I have almost everything turned off as well and have been trading like that for days.

Have you looked at the P&L Journal lately ?!

This may be a stupid question but can you increase the ram on any computer? Mine is a year old and has 3 GB...and how would I know if it is using all of it?

Sorry...by scanner I mean the basket order box that I use to scan for stocks. Haven't heard of madscan?

Sterling just did an upgrade on the software that fixed some component for vista. I bought a new set-up last year and made sure it had XP as everyone I talked to who was using Vista hated it. Haven't tried it myself.

Sterling has been horrible the last two days. I can't use the scanner properly or change windows half the time. Most of the time I am pretty happy with it, but it sure is frustrating not being able to trade on days like today.
