in the past weeks i have been having major Internet problem my connection has become pretty unstable, i spent lots of time with customer support but its like talking to a brick wall, i figure ill post my problem here before switching to a new ISP.
connection type: Wan miniport (PPPOE)
Advertised speed: DL 384 kb UL 48 kb
ISP Name (URL): www.fastnetonline.com
Proxy: proxy.fastnetonline.com:8080
i also know they get there bandwidth from satgate.net/ (if that helps)
I suspect the proxy used is interfering. Is there a way to find out what are the proxy's "parameters" (for lack of a better word, i would like to know more about said proxy what is it designed to do)
I know proxies can be used to limit access to certain address', I am assuming they can be setup for traffic shaping, I am trying to find out what limits have been set in the proxy in question.
